What you getting?

[docevi1]

you obviously have no need to get where you are going reliably then.


it's only a joke! I've driven much less reliable cars in my time

[bilton_d]

i'm loosing 2 cylinders and getting a T350C, had a good drive on Sat and i have to admit i was very impressed, buid quality was much better than the Cerbera and felt more solid, handling was great, good noise too. Didn't have the torque of the Cerbera but very useable.
Just miss driving the TVR dialy so it had to be done

[ray_von]

don't mean to be nosey(well not much) but as we share the same first name is it the black one on HHC website

Have you been using yours this week Byff? I'm sure I've clocked you heading south (east?) on the Felling Bypass a couple of mornings this week. If so, and you see a black Cherokee flashing at you divvent fret, it's only me.

Nice choice!

Seen a few T350's lately going for very reasonable prices.
Might be tempted to change to one myself next year. Although i'd miss the cerbs V8.

It's quite possible. I finish work at around 07:00 and head back home that way - I'll look out for you in the morning

Last shift tonight then I'm off till next week Yey!

[bilton_d]

No its not the black one (which is blue black in the flesh ... looks great) its one that was out the back not yet prepared in Silver with charcoal and silver grey trim

Congratulations darren! Always nice to see another one kicking around. Just one suggestion, if it doesn't have the super sports exhaust, make sure you get one!!

[bilton_d]

i was thinking about the sports exhaust, the car currently only has the standard exhaust but its did sound rather good so i guess i might leave it for a while to see how loud it is to live with daily.

My old Cerbera had the sports cans fitted and that was ok for me ..... neighbours didn't like it too much when i left the house at 5am to go the airport mind.

Did you ever try a decat and standrad exhaust? With the Cerbera this is apparently the best option.

[holmsie]

No, just went straight for the ss exhaust. Pretty easy to fit yourself and cost about £395. I reckon it gives the closest noise to a v8! So when are you picking it up?

[bilton_d]

going to to Hexham on Sat with cheque book in hand just need to sort the finals out with Tony on some small points i want looking at.
so i guess maybe 2 weeks or so by the time it gets booked into the workshops etc.
