Kevin...
That new exhaust of yours, Did it still scrape on the speed humps? It looked higher than mine and I got over those in your road ok.
I did like the sound of it...thinking praps I might get those chaps in Sandwich to do something similar with mine,except also weld rather than clamp the front connection.
Would you have done it differently second time around?
Mind you...they did rather take their time about it.

Your car is pretty low Tim, when I was following you back it looked like it was almost touching so many times!

Hi Guys,

Yes, your Griff is lovely Chris and I still think it looks bigger than an S

Tim,
Your car looks too low at the front to me, perhaps the springs/shocks are weak. The back is a bit lower than mine but not by much.

Re, the exhaust. I guess mine sits a bit lower and that's why it grounds. The guys in sandwich will use yours as a pattern so you'll get like for like with regards to the geometry but you'll be able to specify straight through front pipes and centre box (with perforated pipes inside the main box.

Hmmm!

Well I never get any rubbing on the arches and the four corners all see to bounce the same, but my bonnet won't open more than the stay on a flat road.
Praps I am a bit low? The distance around my wheels to the bonnet seems the same as other 'S's I have seen... I know Johno did a lot of work on the suspension...
praps I just look more sleek

I will pump the tyres up!
