You must be fairly near if you can afford a Cerbera ;)

Heh, Same price as a new Mondeo, what would you choose ;)
You really want me to choose between a new, shiny, gadget-laden piece of
engineering genius and the most perfect practically-designed car of
recent times or an ugly, loud, two-seater monstrosity? ;)


I'll give you loud, i'll give you monstrosity, I'll also let you have
poorly built, obnoxious and a timebomb of reliabilty, but I can't let
you have ugly! The Cerb was extremely practical, 2 seats in the rear
that are useable, if a bit cramped, a massive boot and extremely
comfortable to drive long distances. 0-60 in 4 seconds helped to
relieve driving boredom...

I have a VW Phaeton these days, you don't need to sell gadget laden
engineering genius to me ;)

Don't get me wrong, I love stupidly fast cars as much as anyone, I just
don't get the appeal with TVRs, I think they're hideous. A Cerbera looks
like a chav took an E-Type on Pimp My Ride. I much prefer the
super-sleek aerodynamic look of an F430 or Zonda or Veyron. And if I had
£30-40 grand to spend on a used ridiculously overpowerful obnoxious
aggresive supercar I'd get a Viper. Faster, more powerful, more
obnoxious, more mental and far less ugly :)

For around £45k you're talking 2004 DB9 money :)
