Great news! One more of us, one less of them

Advice?... Drive it regularly, such a hardship I know. I try to make sure mine has a decent run at least once a week.

There are 2 key benefits to this:

1. The oil is regularly circulated and the electrics are never left to drain (which is the cause of most problems in cars that are stood).

2. You get used to the car and know what it should sound and feel like, so you notice sooner if anything is wrong.

3... there are 3 key benefits....

3. You get to drive (IMHO) the best looking/sounding car ever

Have fun and as Ted says 'Keep it shiney side up'.

Cheers Dan

Another welcome from another Griff owner, it has been a brilliant day to be a Griff owner, hope you have many tears of smiling incessantly, maybe see ya around, seems there could be quite a few Griffs in this area.

Is that blue then?!!

And don't worry about the odd squeek and rattle - untill it becomes continuous.

Dan has the best advice, Drive it regularly. Mine? Daily.

Welcome Scoob!...


......one rule of thumb i always follow...

...."a wax a weekend"....


.....positive elements...keeps you out of sight from the other half....gives you sense of well being from completing a satis. job and scientists have proved that a repetitive cycle/pattern is actually good for you....but you tend to get through a lot of wax, to the point where even flies cant land and balance on the gloss...

......enjoy

Nice pic John,see we have something else in common appart from TIV's. I've got a 156V6 as well(trying to sell it at the moment)
Steve

[JARCY]

Yeah Steve, I noticed you've got a 156V6. I think there's a few of us PHers who use one of these for their runaround. I've only had mine since May and it's been pretty good so far. A few niggles, and it is almost as thirsty as the TVR!

The profile pic was taken at a French Chateau where we stayed. Couldn't resist driving accross their lawn to take some snaps.

[sb930turbo]

John,
Mine I have had from new (2000),been no probs at all,
wife says I've got to sell it to help pay for the Griff.(lifes not fair is it!)
