hi all, just picked up my griff yesterday and still got a huge smile on my face. my question is what is a safe rev limit when planting your foot on the floor and using the box. i live in milton keynes and the short stretches of duel carriageways between roundabouts (yes there are a few in mk)is sheer bliss for giving the car the old acceleration test ( all within the speed limit officer). funniest thing last night on the way home from picking it up was the spotty herbert in his souped up `hot hatch` who steamed round a roundabout and virtually scrapped the paint off the back of the griff as he tried to straight line the r/a and pull past me as i exited it. i was just minding my own business at that point, but the sight of him hunched over the wheel pulling alongside made me smile-heh heh heh, you can probably guess the rest , DON`T think hell mess with a griff again byebye

rev limiter?, i didn`t know the car had one, it has cream coloured dial faces, i don`t think there`s a red line marked, just the numbers. what happens when the limiter kicks in? i was a bit concernd having read a thread re a damaged engine whilst at a garage and someone uggested it had been over reved (possibly by said garage)
