Hi all

I have posted in here before but thought I'd update with a few new pictures :







The Clubman is a 1.6d and its my company car. Great little motor, like a van when you fold the seats down which is ideal for hauling cinema stuff around! I average just over 55mpg in it and love hustling it around during the week.

The Cerb is a 96 4.2 and I have just fitted some Silverstone Performance SP12's in anthracite and the car is transformed! Not only does it look hard as nails, it rides, go's stops and steers sooo much better than on the Spiders that I am amazed!

Just need to sort out the old perished fuel lines now frown

Cheers!

On second thought - Clubman looks bloody huge next to it (i know it's higher but still)...

I thought exactly the same thing! I have never parked them nose to nose before but my god the Clubman looks massive compared to the Cerb!

You do feel really low in the Cerb on the road, I guess this explains it!

Nice motors those Cerberas - used to see some some locally almost 10 years ago - they were all the rage then.

Hopefully i'll buy one someday - the noise, the looks, the pace of the thing...

love both the cars, think the clubman has that ugly cool look going for it and the purple beast is pure horn..

No worries mate, I may get to bring it to the fun weekend if you are going to that? It's a cracking car to drive, love it to bits (literally!).

We still have the GT4, Louise has just had a new fibre glass boot made up by a mate, with a ducktail built into it:





Only 7kg vs 15 or so for the stock one, well chuffed with it! Cambelt change due now as well, 104k miles and still going strong!

See you soon buddy!

yeah I will be at FW mate, boot looks ace, seen the thread on the OC.
must admit I love the duck tail, looks so fresh on the car compared to the big wings etc.
If I can sort out the niggles with my 205 front brakes with 315mm discs will take you for a spin in mine f you want too..

God I wish I had an ST205 GT4. What sort of power is it putting out?

Just over 330 bhp and 350 lbs/ft mate.

Lightened it by 170KG, hybrid turbo, custom FMIC, 800cc injectors and Apexi PFC. Its been a great car, done ove 50k miles in it (track, drag, sprint, road trips) and its been pretty much faultless.

Don't think we'd ever sell it to be honest, very under rated imo
