I just bought a pink Griff
Discussion
Hi guys!
Been a while since I was on the forums but have just bought a pink Griff as a delivery car for our drinks business, so thought is share it. Utterly amazing car, is a little scary.
Key takeaways after 48 hours of ownership
1. It wheel spins in 4th in the wet on a motorway
2. It takes an hour to figure out how to put the roof in the boot. Incorrectly. Where it is stick for another hour. Should have googled it.
3. It is rather loud and sets the alarm off on my Integra type-R wherever I start it
It is an pretty much immaculate 500, only two TVRisms so far
1. The heater is always on. It was 30 degrees today. Except in the Griff where it was 30 billion degrees.
2. The 'thanks for letting me in' hazard lights get stuck on. Not a bad thing given I am technically in danger at all times while driving.

Wow! That is very pink. When does purple become pink on the spectrum?
We have a history of buying pinkish-not-pink cars blind off the internet, so can probably build up the spectrum. Here's our old 348.... and yes that is an AA van in the background.
When RAC vans appear AA vans in your spectrum of vision ? We have a history of buying pinkish-not-pink cars blind off the internet, so can probably build up the spectrum. Here's our old 348.... and yes that is an AA van in the background.

Awesome! I'm going to look up the HCV issue and see if I can fix it (or maybe leave it to the professionals given it is due a service anyway).
Delivery is of our soft drinks business. We trialled it as a delivery vehicle around Notting Hill on Saturday. Not wholly convinced it is the most practical choice but sure beats sitting in traffic in a transit!

I know Wheeler-era TVR's were registered as Light Goods Vehicles for Road Tax purposes but that's the first I've heard of someone taking it literally ! Very brave around London too although I don't know which of the capital's motorway's you managed 4th on
I guess it is the ultimate fast food delivery vehicle if you wanted to branch out. Loving the colour BTW, Griff's should always be in something prominent and metallic.

Are you saying I could have bought an MGF and saved a few quid?
With the purple-pink 348 and Griff, and the AA-RAC confusion, I reckon you could have saved some money and not noticed 'til you started the engine 
Very nice Griff, ideal delivery vehicle if the weather's decent
