Back in a Cerbera

[Duke Thrust]

So, sold the Noble, bought this:



Very pleased and I will shortly be able to get Little Miss Thrust in the back seat.

4.5, sports pipes, decent coil overs and a few other bits and bobs.

It's nice to be back in a Cerb, I missed my old one, the noise is just wonderful!

[brakedust]

Lovely looking example, nice colour combination as well!

Welcome back, how do they compare/ what made you return? We were considering a 3R or M400 last year... Technically brilliant car, but just didn't have that something extra for us.

[Jimii]

Very nice ,can I ask what pulled you away from the noble to get back into a Cerb? Just curious because I think a noble would be a good replacement if i ever was going to sell the Cerb

[spongy]

And lovely it is too,where did you find that one

[Tacagni]

Looks fab. Did you get it from stephen james motors

[Robscim]

Welcome back Duke!!!

Pleased to see you back in a cerbera!!

I still owe you a beer for those speaker covers, if I remember correctly!!!

Cheers

Rob

[Gazzab]

Woo hoo - welcome back!

[FUBAR]

In a 'proper' yellow too

[gruffalo]

Shame that yellow is the slowest colour though.;)

[JensenA]

Welcome back max long time no see. What happened to the old green one on the end?

Brilliant to see one of the prodigals return to the fastest flock on the planet.....

Do you think you would have some time to summarise your thoughts om leaving Cerbdom, spending time in one of the Cerb's closest rivals and your eventual decision and feelings about your return ??

Thanks,

Thanks for your comments guys, it's good to be back

Yep, it was a very interesting time away with the Noble, would be happy to compile my thoughts - what sort of thing are you after?

Absolutely anything !
Reasons that you chucked the Cerb in the first place.
What your thinking behind its follow-up (Performance ? Price ? Looks ? Servicing ?)
How your initial feel of the driving differences were ?
Your eventual reasons for getting rid of the Noble ?
Did you think of any other cars between the two or did you head back to a Cerbera search without being tempted elsewhere ?

Did you feel, after having owned a cerb before, that the search to find one that suited your requirements was easier ?

Just anything that comes across your mind.

I'm hoping to compile some comparisons with people who own a Cerb AND a Chimp.

You can either PM me here of mail to [e-mail]
Thanks.

i would be interested to know how the noble and cerb compared as im in the market for maybe one or the other, also was the cerb from stephen james? if so how did you find him to deal with?

[Robscim]

Oh, don't ask why he ceased to have a cerbera before - some of us remember...

Rob

[Duke Thrust]

I'll get some words down re the comparison ASAP, but to answer a couple of quick questions:

Yes, so far I've found him to be excellent to deal with, no problems - he's been very straight and up front. He's got a Cerb of his own so is a real enthusiast.

Yes, it didn't end well - standing water on the M4, several 360 spins down the outside lane taking out about 100 yards of crash barrier resulted in this:

You only got another one because you couldn't hear the sewing machine in that Knobble when you were following my Tiv.... silly fast car, but oh-so-boring and silent!

I've had both.... Chim to Cerb and back to Chim again....
