As a huge Cerbera enhusiast and given that I should be going to England soon, my irresponsibility has kept suggesting me I should try to drive a Cerbie when I get there through the mean of a test drive.
But I am very young and I am afraid any salesman would notice rapidly I am just a poseur who wants to have fun in a car he can't afford.
Has anyone tried this before?
I suppose you can do it for "normal" car but with a Tiv....?

phone dealer before make lots of noises about a particluar car, and the spec your after. and that you will be in the uk for x amount of time and would it be possible to test drive it on x.

if you just turn up off the street they are more likley to tell you to bugger of than if you have spoken and they have a motor and a salesman ready... just prepare your story


have fun...

And of course make sure you don't publicise the fact on an internet forum read by many of the dealers
