" That is a general complaint to / about all cherub'ers on these forums (or at least the active ones)"

I think that you are throwing all of the cherub sailors into one big group there buddy. As far as i was aware buying a cherub didn't change me as a person, I'd have these views whatever I sailed. In the last few years I've sailed a whole range of boats and enjoyed pretty much every minute of it. I try and be constructive with all of my posts rather than simply jumping on the band wagon.

Yeah Villan,

I'm with you on this but before this degenerates it a flame-war, what cars do the chreubers/mothies drive or would want to drive??

Are you looking for me to say 1.2 Nova with ply wood bodykit, ill fitting alloy wheels and a range of halfords accessories?

When I was growing up, a large number of Firefly sailors drove Morris 1000 travellers, complete with rotting woodwork. Went with the boat, somehow, far more than a Volvo or 4X4 does!

As for Cherub sailors, I'm sure they have more class than a 1.2 Nova, but I can see that plywood spoiler in my mind, now - covered in Carbon, of course!

I currently drive a '94 Clio 1.9 Diesel with 189,000 miles on the clock. Not sure how much longer she'll last though... My ideal vehicle would be a 60's VW Splitscreen Camper or a Hillman Imp. You wouldn't get away with towing anything heavier behind the Imp!

oh... the only additional features the clio has are the complimentary arch rust, lack of stereo (nottingham chavs  ), ducktape holding the centre console in place (due to chav using a crow bar to remove stereo), and a 3 litre bottle of water to top up the cooling system.... Otherwise she is showroom condition... just like my boat!!
