Will you all still love me?
Discussion
Today was a sad day in the Markytop household as due to other commitments (namely F-ing great mortgage after moving house to Milton Keynes) and putting money aside for future projects I have today sold my Cerbera. 
Its been a great car, I have loved owning it and I certainly wouldn't be against buying another Tiv when funds allow. I will certainly miss the noise (modesty forbids me to mention that Blipi & Justin think it was one of the best sounding Cerbs) and the speed (although it is scary how quickly that becomes the norm and you want more and more power - if I had kept it, the next stage was going to a whirlwind induction kit & remap to take it over 400bhp)
My main mode of transport for the next few weeks will be my Toyota Aygo, so will you still love me and will I be allowed to bring that to the Sywell meets?? I'll promise to park it away from all your fancy new-fangled sports cars so you don't get jealous of its immense 68bhp. (Although it might give SportingBear's Copen a run for its money
)
Maybe I could get a VW van and join Mr Baker in a 'ex-TVR owners buy a van' club.

Tough matey - and stop showing off just because your car is 68 hp and Mrs Beer's is only 64 hp
On the bright side the two of us ex-TVR owners could combined on the road to cause a long queue of powerful sports cars

Thats very true, it may be small but as with many things if you use it right, you can keep exotica behind you - ask the bloke in the gorgeous sounding De-Tomaso Pantera who witnessed Aygo power on the A421 round Bedford a couple of months back

OK, I`ll let you off this time. Who`d you flog it to? Anyone on the forum?
Gone to James Agger, who offered a fair price given he knew the history of it. (He spec'd and sold it new when he worked for TMS). To have sold it myself for top money, I would have had to put a new clutch on it, and ideally got the stone chips on the front fixed, so think I got a fair deal given he is going to have to carry that work out before re-sale.

Sorry to hear you had to sell the TVR Mark, but look on the bright side, you could always buy a Lotus!

Er, I was thinking we could hold them up and cause a queue but I like your spirit lets go for it

It's just a car after all. You know deep down when its the right thing to do. It was the best sounding Cerby for sure. You are now an official member of my club Mark! Hope you still get out to see us doode! I will let you drive the Mystery-machine.
