Hi everyone,
Has anyone got a Griff 500 they'd like to have featured in Practical Performance Car magazine? It's going to be a big feature testing front wheel drive against rear drive (though i'm biased to rwd, obviously!). We can give you a full set of our photographers shots too.
The shoot needs to be next week ideally and will be fairly centrally located. The car just needs to be clean and tidy. Hopefully we'll have some timing equipment too. Don't worry though, nothing too hairy!
If you're up for it please get in touch asap - ed@ppcmag.co.uk

All the best,
Ed Hall

Hi everyone,
Thanks for a terrific response. It's great to see such enthusiasm for the cars and from their owners. We've got James' ultra-loud 5.5 Griff for the feature, i hope you enjoy it.

Hardly seems representative of the car to have a highly-modified example, or are the cars it is 'up against' (in the sense of it being a group test feature) equally modified?

In that case, I think you'll need Saabine in the fwd camp to even out things a bit... evil

Ehm, but mine handles with 300ish bhp... no offence meant, but I've never seen a FWD Rover quite accomplish that...

But as Ed's first post already indicated, it's pretty clear to see which way the article will be heading... rofl
