Cerbera in the wet - ooouch

[tommomic]

Just seen an R-reg Cerbera (too dark and too quick to see much) near the M56/A56 roundabout at Altrincham, facing the wrong way on a dual carriageway with rear damage and a bemused policeman in attendance.

Looked like driver lost it big style on the bend exiting the roundabout in the wet - oooucchh. Anyone here?

Hope all is ok, and this kind of questioned my own abilities in the wet - I'm just about to take the plunge and buy a cerbera (finally!).

Question is -

1. How tricky are they in the wet?

2. Are the really viable winter/rough weather cars? (its going to be used all year and sat outside)

3. How can I persuade my other half (who also witnessed this incident), that I wont do the same with her and bambino in the car????

Cheers in advance,
Tommo

Cheers for the replies.

Anyone recommend a good advanced driving/skid pad course for a new cerbera owner, preferably close to the North West? I've owned performance cars before, but nothing as inspiring as a TVR.

Jonny tvr - cheers for the kind offer. I live in Hale - spending this week looking at possible cerberas to buy. I'll mail you to arrange a meeting.
