Considering your track record do you not fancy an Ultima Griffer ?

Are you planning on selling the car? As a closet Griffith 'lover' I would be interested in putting that fine model in the pooper scooper

I was only touting for his cam Anyway it was you who likened the Pascomobile to a canine version of Mr Whippy IIRC BB!

Had mine nearly four and half years, whats next?















Hmmm putting it back together...

[griffter]

4 years 2 months.

I'm always on the look out for something else, but when it comes to it nothing matches up. Recent temptations have included:

Nissan 350Z roadster (modern day Griff?)
Porsche 911 turbo 1993 (LHD 3.6 'turbo II')
Honda S2000
Westfield Megablade
Ferrari 308 GT4
Cerbera 4.5
VX220 turbo
Ford Sierra Cosworth 3 door
Sunbeam Tiger

All the above are available for mine + a bit - but I can't face the thought of having to fine tooth comb and sort another old car. Moderns are all very well, but just lack something.
So it looks like some of the 'bit' might be going on some upgrades (the rest will have to go on placating the wife).

2y 2m (although this is my 4th in 10 years) - Next purchase (whenever that happens) - another Griff.....

[red griff roger]

4 years and 10 months. You ask what next - what I would like, or what I can afford are two different things. I would like a Ferrari 308GTS, but I can afford a Raleigh (push bike)

About 5 years. It isn't leaving my side.

I will own a Sagaris one day but it will be an addition.

[lockhart flawse]

Coming up to a year and if I can't find a bit more headroom I will not be keeping it as long as I had planned when I bought it.

If I was replacing it now I would like to try a Z3 Coupe (the funny looking one) or an Alfa GT 3.2 but in due course I plan to get an Aero 8.

9 years and 3 months

Don't think I could ever sell, but will certainly build a collection in years to come... after house, kids, wedding, career and all the travelling that the other half wants to do..

[Gerjo]

6 years and 1 month to be exact.

It's so perfect now (after a lot of work) that it's hard to change it for something else. I have thought seriously about a Sag or a Tuscan S, but it would need engine mods to make me happy. Would like at least 425 true bhp, but ideally more like 450-475, and some decent torque. I'm hoping that TVR will rise again some day with my kind of car.

Love to have a Sag though (with turbo maybe?).

Just saw the Noble M15 with twin turbo V8, now that's my kind of car!
Hopefully one day TVR will produce something like that.

4 Years

Dunno what else; think there'd have to be a big V8 in it whatever it was and possess the same aura . . . . which makes it kinda difficult doesn't it!

Pasco, thought first-up on your list would be something to kick out more db than you already have: . . . Here's some 'secret footage' of Stevie Heath experimenting with something in his shed for you. . . . . As you do!

2 years 5 months. I have asked myself this qustion recently - trouble is I have spent money on my car to get it right, and it runs like it should. It is reliable (touching timber), needs nothing, and makes me smile.

A 2.7 RS replica from Autofarm?.....but it will be in addition to the Griff.

Had the Griff two whole months! Next? Not at the moment, this ones a keeper. (Crossing fingers, touching wood etc)

I drove several of those when I was looking at getting the Griff.

Nissan 350Z roadster (modern day Griff?) NO it's got no real character and a really cheap faux carbon fibre look-a-like dashboard. Does everything nicely but uninvolving.
Honda S2000 Tons of smooth power and the closest IMO to the Griff I'd probably get one if I had to have a 'sensible' alternative.

I drove a Z4 BMW as well, nice car but all three of those after a while would just be 'cars' and after a few months woudn't get me looking back after I'd parked it or just looking out of trhe window at it.

I drove the Elise and VX220 turbo and they're totally different cars to the Griff, nearly bought the Elise but glad I didn't.

No experience of the others but still cars I wouldn't mind having AS WELL as the griff

Forgot to mention Saturday was the anniversary of Griff ownership and I'm still in love.... It'll have to be something special to prise this one from me.
