Spooted (Electric) Blue Griff, nice colour

Dam traffic, took me from Taplow to the centre of maidenead to catch up. I need a lazer gun to zap those cars away! Oh thats the pedal on the right

First time i've followed a Griff, blimy they look so little from behind! But they feel so big when ur driving one!

Could have been me - 9pmish last night? Were you in a Griff - surprised I didn't see you behind me, tho I guess it was getting dark...

I saw another starmist blue (I think) Griff coming out of the Oracle bit of Thames Valley Park yesterday - anyone here?

Edited to say - mine's *Starmist* Blue so guess it wasn't me you saw then.

That was me! I'd just pulled up to wait for a space in-between the boring commuter-boxes that were passing, and I saw another Griff fly by! Brought a smile to my face...
My car is nautic blue (a mercedes colour apparently) with magnolia interior.
Cheers

Aha! sorry to hijack your thread Technolav but we got one match out of it anyway

I've just mailed JonA about meeting up for a pint and lunch sometime next week maybe - Technolav or anyone else working in the region of Thames Valley Park (north end of the A329M) keen?

Saw a crashed dark blue Griff tonight around 5:45 - A404 exiting to A4 - on the roundabout. Looked like Griff was planning on heading West down the A4 towards Reading. Except there was an Audi A6 in the way (I think, I must have passed 2-3 minutes after the incident). Looks like the Griff went into the back of the Audi - completely mashed front end and coolant leaking out.

Hope it's not one of you guys.

If girly cars are invited I'm up for a lunchtime meet - I'm at Sun in Bracknell - just the other end of the race circuit, er I mean A329M.

Oh is the Bull easy to find ie on the A4 > Henley road?
Chances are the missus will be palying with her nag, and I'm rather skilled at not finding places when motoring alone

This is the meeting point for tomorrow (Fri) @ 12. Otherwise at the pub 12:15

We'll park and wait on the actual roundabout to the left of the circle in the map. It's a big old roundabout with only one exit (!?) and space to park on the edge of the roundabout.

Cheers
