Turning circle on the T350!!!!!!!

It's an absolute shocker. Going to take some getting used to.

Picked up the new car yesterday and took it for the obligatory 4 hour drive intot he countryside, returned home, turned for the drive and practically arrived next door.

Hmm - Griffiths don't do that!

Added to the loss of your infectious smile and the less readily-attainable thrills I'd say you might miss your Griffith of 13 years a bit more than you're admitting.

On the plus side, after 4 hours in the car I hadn't been gassed by fumes, deafened by the exhaust or caused any other road users to swerve in fear when driving past.

The latter point, is good for them, not me. I'll miss looking in the mirror and seeing some poor dozey sod being woken up

Sounds like you just needed a new exhaust.

rofl Works for me too!

But be careful it's addictive, then the neighbours won't like you any more....

Was the usual fix in the Griff and was my first thought the other evening. However, the driveway is a narrow slip to an underground car park and the street parking is on either side and right up to the slip, thus creating a high statistical probablity of smacking a car.

Did that in front of a police car last year, not realising he was two cars behind me in some traffic in London... Used the highly effective 'dont make eye contact going past him' manoeuvre. Worked a treat.

I'm sure he was more amused than anything else.
