Thank you Jon.

We all know the Griff is a classic so let the Griff guys go camp on the Classic forum instead....

Why not restore it from the backup? Losing one days messages is not not going to cause a heartache as most of today has been us users complaining about the merge.

Tis better to loose a few messages and earn eternal gratitude etc etc.

I'm going for a walk before I lose my rag...

We are talking TVRs. since when does logic come into it. If we are logical about TVR's we would be driving 4 wheel drive JAP turbo nutter Banzai machines... but we do the illogical thing and drive in a car with a big V8....

It is your trainset so you can do what you like with it, but it would have been nice to have asked first....

'Guys, short of restoring from yesterday's backup there's no going back.'

There's your answer then!

A vote might have been nice. What about democracy? I'll say no more about it but I think it's clear that the decision is unpopular (to the extent of posting about it) by about 10:1.

No justice even on PH, pah. What's the world coming to?

RichB said: Oh no, us Griff owners are going to have to trawl through pages of "where do I get smoked grey rear lights from?" and "can I fit a stainless front grill mesh?" type threads when all we want to read about is how to make our cars go faster! Rich...

And don't forget the '50% discount sale at American Golf' threads

And when they say 'she's a lovely driver' they mean the new club they picked up yesterdy...

What's that bad in a merger? If your Griff goes (.)(.) up it will almost certainly have gone wrong in a Chimp, they outnumber us by 3 or 4 to 1. Assuming they have the bigger engines of course

But I do differ on the styling and ethos. It was likened to Spitfires and Hurricanes. The Hurricanes where much more common, certainly got the job done but the Spit ........ ahhhh.

And no comments about the Hurricane having a bigger boot please - who plays golf @ 20,000 ft

No, no...

We meet with the rest of the TVR folks...

Oooops, I guess they 'forgot' to tell you

[PetrolTed]

Ok. It's back. I can't fully restore for typically IT reasons but I'll do what I can.

Democracy? I never said this place was a democracy...

[PetrolTed]

Ah . Now I just moved some of the wrong threads. I think I'll take a break before I do any more damage...

[swilly]

And now......the main event......the "Ariel" board is quickly catching up with the "Griff" board.......now that the "chimaera" board has booted it and sped of into the distance....

[shpub]

All I can say is thank you. We are not worthy... we are worthy....

[PetrolTed]

Sorry guys. Bad day, rash decision and dodgy backup. Feel better after half a bottle of wine. Still got some work to do to restore threads properly but the other backup is elsewhere (moving at mo - most stuff in storage ).

Normal service will be restored after my hangover is sorted

[whitechimp500]

Oh well,at least the evenings events have been thought provoking .
I propose an end to all this Griff v Chim Civil war and general unpleasantness .
Instead, we should unite against the common enemy GERMAN SPORTSCARS .

[angusfaldo]

Ted, you're a marvel.

Now we are seperate again we can get back to bashing those overstated shopping trolleys.

[Griff2be]

Thanks Ted. It may seem illogical, but I think we quite like the different identities of the two cars.

[Leadfoot]

You wuss Ted . Seriously tho' I'm happy to go with the majority - of Griff owners of course, not that MGB looking lot!

A 22 min walk - see- that's all it took- obviously time to take a short break from the v6 ?!?!

Oy oy oy oy, you miserable fcukers - look at another post about Scruff and then take a long, hard look at yourselves. Then leave poor old Ted alone.

I'd shove you all in a playpen and let you chuck some toys around.

A bit of perspective, please ?
