Probably seems like a total cop-out but I'll be with you all in spirit driving yes

My Griff's in storage and although I'm not far away in Lancaster I can't get the time off work I'll be glued to the evening news tho...

Good luck to all involved and my thoughts are with the staff of TVR and their families. Who know's what this might achieve ??? Maybe the powers that be will change their minds and TVR will stay ?!?! Stranger things have happened !! spin

I doubt you will be the only griff there hehe.
The car club understandably (is that word?) have taken a view that no official line will be taken on the run, leaving it to individual members to decide, this sadly will I think affect the overall turn out.
I think the problem comes from that some see it as protest rally, which helps no one, and to others it is a sign of solidarity and appreciation to the workforce, I think the latter camp has it imho.

I was thinking about it as I'm driving up to Manchester anyway. Blackpool's just a 'little bit' further...

But to be honest I'm petrified of getting stuck on the M6 / M56 in Friday evening rush hour on the way home, so I've wimped out.

Persuade me otherwise...

i will be driving up in my griff from hant's and then returning later on in the day it will be a long old road trip
4 hours each way i should imagine but will enjoy every minute. i should imagine the traffic around brum will be nasty if so will take a brake untill it dies down

Yes as far is i am concerend i just want to see the factory for the first and probably the last time weeping and to show support to the workers of TVR some of which would have had a hand in building my Griff yes

Hope to see some of you Griff owners Tomorrow.
