I'd be scared to put my shopping in a Cerbera, never mind my children!!! (don't have any children but you know what I mean)

Don't have any shopping either, maybe I'll just shut up.

I checked out some tvr's earlier this month, did like them very much, thought the build qaulity was abit low. I got rather scared when the salesman sat me down to talk about buying somthing, ran for my life while my bank balance was still in tact!!!!!!!

I am tempted quite honestly........but only if I get my transfer....basically I will be commuting by train using the beater to get to the station

A Cerbera would do maybe 2000 a year tops so could make sense....I think the S2000 is too useable to be kept on the basis of only doing 2000 miles a year

My friend has just sold his Cerbera, It was seriously quick and the handling was supurb, even if it was usually more sideways than straight ahead

But after vowing to keep it forever, he sold it after it spent more time in the dealer than on the road and that was only being used at the weekend The last incident involved it lunching its gearbox, very expensive

It also boiled its power steering fluid and spewed it all over the front of the car after only half a session round Brands Hatch, he missed out on the rest of the day

But it was an experience sat in the passenger seat , he's now the proud owner of an early GT3, lucky bugger...

Esprits are gorgeous - friends of mine have had them, including the V8. Was also tempted by an orange GT3 a couple of years back (before the S2000) but reliability problems concerned me.

The Cerbie is a beautiful motor indeed! I've seen a Starmist Olive Green one up here in Glasgow - I was drooling - even more so than a Ferrari! There's also a Pale Blue Starmist parked round the corner from me - a real riproar in the morning.

Listen to the sound here...

Must admit, the V8 has more of an impact sound wise than the Straight 6, I just love them! If I had the cash to back me up... I'd have one in a second!
