TVR Cerbera - Driving Off

[1372cc]

Sounds like an old carbed 4 cyl

[morgansandcoke]

I love TVRs but those wheels are AWFUL and the exhaust sounds cheap and nasty!

[scaryGTM]

@morgansandcoke The problem was that the V8 in the Cerbera was designed with a flat-plane crank. That design is revy, but the V8 rumble is killed as the engine takes the characteristics of 'two four cylinders welded together'. The sound of the Griffith is much nicer.

kelloggcerealxoxo people dont quote him hes an american...so idiot:D 

[nothingface1984]

STEP ON THE GAS ASSHOLE!!! I WANNA HEAR THAT V8 SCREAMING!!!! sorry capslock ;)

[schpongled]

I love the Cerbera V8, it was everything a TVR should be IMO.

I remember years ago one sitting outside my house idling, I'd been wondering what the low rumbling noise was, and why things in my kitchen seemed to be vibrating slightly, then I looked outside. Beautiful machine.

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

you are driving on the wrong side of the road you tard

[brooke63]

ermm in the Uk we drive on the left. You Tard

[captwoodse]

Yes the correct side

[biglarfspeed6]

@brooke63 lol

[Raimondo988]

@brooke63 Yes...end it is the wrong side! :-P

[adriank9]

@brooke63 you should change it as Sweden has done and drive as whole Europe do. At least we could buy lhd TVR :-)

[NeeKroVal]

@brooke63 yah and in america we drive on the RIGHT side 

[iNtAlps]

@kelloggcerealxoxo American dumshits dont know anything.

[AGPfilms]

@kelloggcerealxoxo think about it, your thinking we drive on the wrong side of the road because in yankville you drive on the right side, so that states if you were living here, you would think yanks drive on the wrong side of the road because we drive on the left side of the road, rendering your statement useless and stupid.......FACE!!!

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

@AGPfilms THIS IS AMERICA!!!

[AGPfilms]

@kelloggcerealxoxo ...nope UK :3

[b7ruc29]

I tried to get in contact with him via piston heads as thats how he contacted me but no one seems to know him.

[danzo100dangerous]

[TEZLER08]

is that a 4.5 ?

[brooke63]

no.. 4.2 v8

[helmotchops]

thats no v8 sounds like the 4ltr straight 6

[brooke63]

deffo a v8, sound quality was reduced when uploaded on youtube

[PijnigeR]

Doesn't even sound like the Speed Six engine.

[peteislazy]

nice wheels mate, i wish i had one.

[teampuravida]

TVR is The Delicate Sound of Thunder for sure!! I have a 390se, looking for a Cerbera at the moment. Awesome...

Long live the EXTREMETREVOR!!!!!

[viadate]

Hey Brooke, your car definately lives and breathes again, I followed it out of an underground tesco car park in the scottish borders WHAT A NOISE. I tried to keep up with it but even on icy roads he blew me away. Beautiful sound and awesome performance

[brooke63]

god i miss that car. but its no good for our weather or my driving.

Glad to hear its back on the road. its a guy called dougles that owns it now.

thanks man

[vastenmielinen]

that aint no pretty sound...

[brooke63]

and what do you drive little school boy?

[vastenmielinen]

loool ! cerbera sound is more like raw and stuff ! i did rate the video 5 though...

why u so angyuyy ??

[brooke63]

because you said it doesnt sound nice. nevermind man.

had enought of people leaving bad comments when they drive something like a vauxhall nova

[vastenmielinen]

novas are for wussies

[brendude95]

haha so true when they drive around with body kit on i am like GET A REAL FUCKING CAR jeez a bunch of robbers and druggies drive shit like that drive what you can afford or u will look like a twat and especially when u floor it and one of these beasts shits all over you! GO CERBERA!

[wideopen704]

man you cannot talk shit to anyone thats got a cerbera.

[vastenmielinen]

yeah !

[visionit2007]

Are you insane?

The video doesn't really do it justice... they sound incredible.

[cadavereee]

vai a casa...

[dctim]

What's the paint colour called on this one? I saw one in the same colour on my way to work the other day. GORGEOUS colour on an amazing car!

[brooke63]

the colour is called "Cosmos Blue"

really nice colour

[dctim]

Yeh, one of the nicest. What wheels is she rolling on? They really suit it !

[brooke63]

they are Kahn RS-V, i didnt buy the wheels but thet were £1,000 each.

[noblem15]

Fantastic sound!!!And beautiful rims! 5 stars!

[PantherDB7]

Sh*esh, the car ended in a ditch? I heard these have the crappest handling, what did you think honestly compared to Jap and Germ cars, how was the reliability? Either way Id still want one.

[brooke63]

fantastic car man, you could never relax while driving.

sounded, looks and drove great. but would i get another? no. there just not very good to uk weather. tvr's dont work in wet weather

[PantherDB7]

Yea and I notice you got a Mitsu GT, now thats a car. You got good tastes.

[brooke63]

thanks man, i really do like my big fast cars.

I'm taking my bike lessions at the moment so i might have a nice fast bike aswel.

The 3kgt is a heavy car but doesnt half move and can turn unlike the TVR. 4wd and 4ws

[scarface115]

do they just need better tires or something? and can they be driven in america?

[brooke63]

no its just cos the car has no traction control and is that powerful. so with a little too much throttle, the back wheels spin. yeh should be fine in america. if its a dry warm state. When i was part of the TVR club, there was alot exported to america.

[260v807]

must put a huge smile on your face just driving off nd knowin that you could blow the car next to you away... nd makin all that noise lol! my uncle had a griff but dnt ask why noe has a boxter lol. :S

[brooke63]

thanks for the comment, shame i dont have the car anymore, i lost it in the wet and ended up down a ditch in a bush. 6k for damage.

its now in scotland getting rebuilt. well that was the last i heard. also got told after i wrote it off it had racing carbs on.

[djchocice]

it sounds fabulous, is it a stock exhaust because it backfires like a big angry racing car even at those lowspeeds :)

[brooke63]

yeh is was stock, well i think it had uprated carbs. also they come stock with race engines

[joshviper129]

is that a 4.5 engine in that cerbera

[brooke63]

no its the 4.2l V8

[thesillywabbit1349]

only seen one once, it set of from the lights and i swear every dog for 1/2 a mile must have cowered!

awesome sound

[heledraku]

hahah

[englishproud88]

nice car mate.RAV

[gefferzz]

as a lover of TVRs i do have to say that was poorley driven. accelarating hed be goin backwards if he went any slower!

[brooke63]

As you can tell from the video, i wasn't trying to go "Fast"

I was trying to show the sound and the look of the TVR, so i've changed the title of the video so i dont get anymore comments about the slowness of me driving down the road. (it was a 30mph)

[morgansandcoke]

sounds crap, what kind of exhaust is that? and what the f*@k is with the wheels!!!!!?????

[brooke63]

You'll find its the factory exhaust you muppet.

And wheels are what you call expensive.

[StuRaz]

i dont really see why anyone is complaining about the speed of the gear change. it is evident that it isnt supposed to be going very fast in this clip but you can hear the exhausts firing instead. beautiful car. Shame about TVR nowadays and shame they ever stopped building this car and the AJP V8

[fukyou1000]

Sadly a Citroen diesel estate, (I get my kicks on a Yamaha WRF 426 Enduro and hang-gliders) but I did once get my hands on a 4.3 HC Chimera for the weekend and just loved it - I am a fan of TVRs for life.

[fukyou1000]

Fast car - but about as fast as a shopping trolley if you can't change gear faster than that - tosser!!!

[brooke63]

And what do you drive, a Nova by any chance?

[iainthornton]

haha too true....people who leave these comments against the owner are all just jealous..kudos for not deleting it

and to be fair to you brooke63 these are awkward gearboxes...all adds to the driving fun in my opinion :D

[Loniawalker]

nova's aint so bad :-)

[xispalhe]

LLOOOOOLLL. If thats how you drive a TVR..., i think you can do 0.5 sec. on the bed...

Jesus..., how bad can this go???

[Scanvest]

The Cerberas had flat-cranks, 4.2l and 4.5l. Gives more top-end power, but does not give deep V8 growl.

Sounds more like motorcycle engine (like the Ferrari 355, 360, 430)

[Nelso90]

I didn't know TVR's had flat-crank V-8's!

[iainthornton]

yeah TVRs own V8 after they stopped using the old Rover thing were flat-crank, 2 valve per cylinder real V8s ;D

[viadate]

Some beast hope it did not end up in a ditch a real dream car. will look out for it in scotland growling

[PhantomStoney]

It's in a ditch some where. Silly bastard.

[brooke63]

Actually it has been rebuilt and now in scotland

[PhantomStoney]

This car is no more LOL

[summergnu19]

Sounds rougher than I imagined it would... Sounds more like a truck with a big block

[brooke63]

Guess you've never heard a TVR before then.

[InfoJunkieHolland]

sweet dude
