[FunkyGibbon]

Yesterday was a good day in Cambs for Tiv spotting...

Silver T350 near Sawston
California Sage Cerbera near Cherry Hinton
(Halcyon) Blue chim near Stow-cum-Quy

I was the silver chim with the roof off and PH beanie hat firmly on.

I've seen plenty if NOS'ed up kit in Sawston; Skyline, Fiant Unos etc, but not the Griff. Must keep my eyes (and ears) out for that.

I've just moved up to Sawston from Pompey, and brought the Griff with me.
Hopefully when time allows, I'll be going to the Cambs meetings.

Before the nos went in, the brakes / heads/ cam /chip had all been replaced, and the car makes me very proud when I blast by Cerbera's on track days.
(as one ratpack member knows only too well)

Out of interest is the owner of the green (I think)Cerbera, that catches the 0639 to Liverpool St on here?

Re the uno's & corsas etc, I thought pompey was bad for spotty "gary's" and their bolt on kits, but up here they are every where, do they breed (or perhaps hatch) them nearby?

Hi IBER and welcome to Cambridgeshire region.

I am also originally from Pompey...don't think I would fancy leaving the Griff "DAYN TAYN"! Bet you will be missing Uncle Sams soon...

Hope to see you at the January meet...it is at a new venue called "The Royal Oak" in Barrington. Check Sprint for details...

Ah, should have paid more attention to the smiley on your post. Welcome to sunny Cambridgeshire.

Sawston is not bad off for Tivs. There's yours, mine, a T350C and until recently a grey 4.2 cerbie. And that just the one's I've seen, so not bad for a little village.

I've also seen a dark blue / black cerbera parked up near the traffic lights in the village, the crossroads near to where the Police station will be.....if Cambs plod can ever find the village that is!!!

And also in my rd, behind St Marys church & the hall, there has been a light coloured cerbera parked up a few times.

Shall we have our own region in the car club perhaps????

Hi Toffer, yes i do miss certain things about not being DAAN TAAN, like matelows on a bender, like guildhall walk on a friday, like having to drive through leigh park at speeds far greater than the speed limit, so my wheels didn't get nicked, like all the boys in their "little cheap toys", but what I really do miss is the churchillian, and a decent pint of HSB!!!

Green King IPA- AARRGGHHH!!!!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention, there was a tuscan in Cambridge the other week, with one of those bolt on boot spoliers, touring car style, and it looked HIDEOUS, even with the spoiler shaped with the same contours as the boot lid....what a waste!

No, not me this time. I do sometimes go down that way but I wasn't there this week.

A couple of months ago I was accused by a colleague of "driving like a mad man" and cutting him up on a slip road off the A428. That turned out not to be me either but evidently there is another California Sage Cerbera somewhere in the area.

I know Offords had one for sale a month or so ago, we nearly bought it, sadly FGess doesn't like an all black interior, I thought it look

That's the grey one I was referring to I think. Looks like they moved house last week, so no longer there. Mean looking car though!

I can relate to that. Initially I wanted a light coloured interior when I was looking to buy. But having bought one with a black interior I've found that it's much much more practical, especially if you have kids. Used to have a Lotus Excel with cream interior and over a period of time it became impossible to keep clean and free of marks.

Spotted your car today, looks very nice indeed in black. Very clean and shiny too. Shamed my filthy car so much I had to go straight home and clean it.

one resides in Harston and can be seen going up to Huntingdon

[lber]

it was me!!!
How did it sound, as the exhaust has been "fettled" recently.

p.s I'm at no 20 St Marys

[vixen1700]

You missed out a rather pretty red Vixen which was also in Cambridge yesterday.

It was stationary on your drive, so no sound . We drove by in a filthy silver (mucky grey) chim and spotted it.
