Welsh Griffith's?

[llanelli-rob]

Any Griffith owners in my area?

Just got a 4.3,plenty of Welsh wedge owners but don't see many Welsh Griff's ?

[Equinox]

Which on did you get in the end Rob?

[Llanelli-Rob]

Its a 1992 4.3 in nightfire red with full flint hide,a couple of subtle mod's i.e aftermarket alloys,500 brakes,carbon fibre vented bonnet and a fast road cam.

It seemed to quite reasonbly priced I thought

Saw this one advertised last week. Looks a good'n

We have a 4.0L, my wife is Welsh, and we have a house in Pembrokeshire. However, I am currently abroad working, and so is the Griff. Will no doubt make contact when we return, at the West Wales meets (as you're in Llanelli).

All thoughts now go to the next game on 26th.

That really is a blast from the past!Sounds like your slightly more senior than me,as i joined the 'cb' set just as it became legal.Lovely looking griff btw

[llanelli-rob]

Thanks Rob.Yep,im very pleased with the way she's coming along.Modding the Griff has been a great and very interesting past-time for me.I was worried i might lose it's character through modding,but to be honest it just gets more and more of a 'gruff griff' with each improvement.It's not been the expense that some might think either.I think the key is to find out which bits really work,and which dont before you buy.I often get mail from peeps on here,asking about the mods,and i'm always happy to pass on what i've learn't,or just chat about any of it really-always up for a chin wag.Cheers,Mike

Sorry Rob, you're at the wrong end of Wales for us. Still nice to see another one in the Principality though
