Actually I only realised when I put my foot down.

Poodling along, come to long straight (how did that happen on a test drive!!).

Foot to floor, gentle waft up the gears, think to myself, not unlike the griff - satifactory.

Glance at speedo.



At the risk of incriminating myself, 135.

Sh1t.

Good work Scruff.

Just remember it's a looooong travel on the 'go' pedal so make sure you push it down to the floor very firmly.

135mph? Can't have been a very long straight then.

IMO that's the problem with the Cerbera. Even though it's a TVR, it's way too much refined: you don't feel the actual speed!

Edited: They'd need to make a Cerbera "Club Sport" (no offence intended )
