Good Luck!

Was in the same position in February and, even though i have been tormenting myself for 5 months about whether I should risk taking the Griff on a road trip to the South of Spain in August and, more recently, whether I should swap it for a 2+2 Cerbera to allow for recent daughter...

after all the headscratching, thread reading, worry bead fiddling...

the Chunnel is booked and a few good looks in big plate glass windows as I drive by has convinced me that there is little else on the road as good looking as a Griffith.

Two cars to the christening on Sunday it is then!

First job before you compare with the neighbour then... cheat a little and have the middle boxes taken off and straight pipes put in.... sounds somewhere between a tug boat and a WWII Spitfire

Blimey, mine's a 97 silver Griff too. In fact I think I'll just nip out and make sure it's still there...

Edited to add: Doh - you're in the same county too - trust you'll be bringing your new steed to the MidEsex meet this Sunday? See Yellow Peril for details and ask her if there's roast duck on the menu....
