Thats a relief. Must be the best thing ive done in years its only when yo own one that you undersand the
pro's and con's. con's being build quality,pro,s being
awsome motor looks and performance. If there is anybody
who is thinking of buying a tiv DO IT you wont regret it. My opinion is mens dangly bits to all the problems.
thanks Olly. Ps As you know im a new kid on block from
the chelmsford area.

Welcome BBT

Sounds like you having fun:

Please be aware of other strange traits of new cerbera owners:

Peeping out behind the curtains to make sure its still there.

Covering it at night and saying sleep tight to it.

Sitting in the garage revving with a a huge grin with everyone else thinking your tryping to top yourself!.

Drinking past shops on purpose to spot your own relfection.

Reving at lights for anyone that happens to pay you any attention to you.

Turning off your best CD just to listen to the exhaust.

Only putting in £5 of fule so you get the excuse to go the the garage 5 times a week.

When you have completed all of these you are an honourary member of the Cerbera Apprecitation Cult.

Get a pic of it posted soon!

This is gettng spooky. Drove down A120 instead of taking by-pass around dunmow thought much better to drive thro high street. Yeah yo got it, nice and slow
30mph ish 2nd gear de throttling noise banging off bildings looking at myself in shopfronts pretending not
to notice everybody looking. No vibes on cerb noise is
better than aerosmith (just). Get home change pants clean car. Does this make me member?

No, mine is Green (click on my name & my profile will come up complete with pic).

I was a light Blue '02 Cerb last week coming over London bridge - might be the same car ?

Matthew69 - I think you've summed up Cerbera ownership in 1 post ! WELL DONE !

Mate, what sort of build quality problems have you encountered?

Great news on the purchase! Have fun!

General stuff? Driver door internal opener stopped working. Castle fixed stright away. lots of nuts & bolts to be changed {Why dont blackpool use stainless the cost difference must be about 10 squid} apart from that nothing to mention. When i said build quality i meant its not a merc build. Who wants a boring robot car when you can have a TVR. Cheers Alltorque FUN im having by the bucket load.

Thinking about it, I had a MONSTER GRIN in a Jaguar dealership about 14 months ago. Was bored one Saturday afternoon, so went down & was having a nose round a FULLY loaded XKR. The salesman came over & we started chatting, but I put his nose severely out of joint when I told him the Cerbera seemed better built ! (window seals were not on straight, glove box drooped slightly, so the line running across the dash dropped as it got to the glove box, carpet not quite tucked under the passenger door seal - so flapping etc etc)...

He then came & looked round the Cerb & couldn't beleive how well it was put together !

Hi Mark,
did you come through Hare St today at about 12.45, silver Cerbera, looked and sounded fantastic. Used to thunder through there in my 4.2 before I sold her, seeing the silver monster maid me realise what I am missing as if i didn't know.

BBT I see your car has sports pipes, I didnt know you could get these for s6 cerbies. Would they fit my 99 car, and what do they do to the sound?
