I'm uber excited today as I realise a dream I have held since I first saw a Cerbera, My Griff 500 has gone (very sadly, would loved to have kept it but funds don't allow) and I pick up a gorgeous 4.2 Cerb later today. I drove and looked at a few but this one far exceeded any of the others I had seen in terms of condition. The fact it wasn't a 4.5 really tested my nerve (why am I stupidly obsessed that I want a 4.5 just because its the biggest?) but I managed to let my head rule and took the advice of many on here and go for the cleanest Cerb I found, oh, and the missus fell in love with this one and convinced me to spend more than I had originally planned!
Praying that the weather stays dry so I can really enjoy the drive home.

I see you are quite local, I'm from Horsham and that FUBAR chap is quite close by too. Where are you picking it up from?

If it was earlier I might've come along with my Cerb for the drive smile but I have things to do this afternoon.

Actually, thinking about it. Isn't it time Fernies did an open day with free bacon butties all round? scratchchin
