Waved goodbye to the Monster Griff today frown after 10 years and some serious blood sweat and tears and a ridiculous amount of fun (I'm to scared to add up the bills]
i've found myself letting go of the one car i thought i'd keep for life!
An expensive racing hobby + a serious injury and a lack of garage space dictated one of the TVR's had to go!!!!
Thanks to everyone that has helped me with the Griff over the years [Topcats & Str8six & many more]+ all the fantastic people i have met at the Growl & other events!
She is off to the South of France to upset a few well healed super cars so unfortunately another one leaving the country.

Going to miss the power!

I bet that was a wrench. At least your Estorils are still in the UK albeit different colour now!

Sorry to hear you are letting the Griff go, she really is a special machine.

Good to see you at the Growl over the years and hope to catch up soon. Good luck with the racing.

Shame about the car, but I hope you are healing well from the injury.

Gutted Christian, totally gutted.

Haven't seen you around for a while, hadn't appreciated the reason.

Hope to see you again at Spa, or the Ring, you have been missed.

Me too- 7 months and can't put on a harness - shoulder. They are talking 'life changing injury' - we'll see.

I am just a little worried Christian, you really have a satisfied smile on your face wink

Long time no see, I assume it was an operation on your back?

Will you be back racing this year?

If so, may see you in the pits for when I am a stand in spanner for Perry!

Thank you you Anthony some great memories to be sure smile
As for my smile Peter that only comes after you get that warm glowing feeling when you've thrashed your TVR half way across Europe to the Ring without incident or fine smile
Still hope to be out racing later in the year but its all dependant on my back!

Hi Christian hope your recovering mate
I know what its like to have back probs and bet your sad to see the Griff go (best sounding griff i have seen) you do have a fantastic looking Sag though,
I to am thinking of letting the Vulcan go to finance the new TVR but must admit I will really miss the sound and power of the LS.

Hope to see you soon take care
