Been looking for a late Griff 500 (ie, preferrably last 100) for a couple of months now. Have tried a couple and nice they were...but after being subjected to totally unrealistic prices, over-pedantic trade-in policies, downright lies, and sheer arrogant indifference, I'm coming to the view that I'll continue to enjoy my lil'Chimp and spend 17k on a Saab or Lexus for a winter car...their loss

Are you expecting to be able to buy a late Griff for £17k. If so, good luck!!

Last time I was in Hexham Horseless Carriage they had a brand new unregistered Griff.

Guess comprehension wasn't your strong subject at school, then

The chap who bought my old Griff said he'd been thinking about a new SE. But it was nearly three times the price and it wasn't three times better!

But I studied pedanticity at Cambridge. It would be foolish of me not to inform you of this meaningless but relevant fact. You missed the full stop, again !

I'm often perplexed by many conflicting situations and statements. However, I'm full of bewilderment with regards to the bearing upon your previous statement. How odd.

You mean 'pedantry'...

And while we're at it, did you know that dictionaries don't contain the word 'gullible'?

Nothing to do with punctuation but mathematics:

Chim trade-in value + 17K = Griff
17k = Saab

For evening lessons drop me a mail!
