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!

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.

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
Braders
Hi Paul,

I'm not letting your Sag go lol
i have your guys doing a house for me you should pop by when they finish off take the old girl for a spin!
I'm watching with interest as to the New car and hope to pick one up second hand [If they get it right] thus not breaking my new car rule smile
Hope to see you at a circuit soon
Christian

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

There are bits of it everywhere, quite literally!
Good to see your still enjoying the car
