No photos, but a few of us have just got back.rather wet,the weather has not been kind frown but it`s not stopped the enthusiasm,and every one was making the most of it, the rolling road was popular including a dutch LS1 408bhp eek Griff thumbup My lad counted about 60 Griffs and about 15 gate crashers around 2.0pm, didn`t see too many cameras.

Hope they all had a nice day - depite the weather !

I'm off at sparrows to show my face at the Growl. I could not face the wet weather today (like I did last year)

I suspect I'm going to bump into the odd hung over body...wish I was there!

Must confess to getting half way there this morning but turning back when I hit the sheets of driving rain at Northampton. Crap luck guys, unbelievable.

Not a total pussy though, as I spent the afternoon changing fluids and moving the oil temp sender into one of the filter housing gallery bungs after discovering new exhaust prevents sump bung removal with the sender in place. Last one was miles away... ho hum

See you tomorrow, enjoy the beer smile

I popped in this afternoon and it was quite quiet, but then it was raining. Shame really as it rained last year as well.

That's two years in a row that the Growl has seen more lids that Chimfest. I think the Lidfest label needs to change its affiliation. Griffs do have lids. All this medallion chested talk about leaving the lid in the garage is quite obviously a distortion of the truth

Hideous weather yesterday. I've got a couple of pictures, I'll see if I can get them up here sharpish.

Edited to add picture:

A Pride of Griffiths.



I'm on my work laptop so I can't tell if this is very good. It certainly doesn't seem very sharp, and looks quite dark, but it was grabbed at 6am after all, loooooong before most were out of bed I dare say.

And can I add my thanks to the organisers, marshalls, sponsors, sellers and last but not least - the owners. It was truly horrible weather yesterday but these people were still out there making it all happen for another year.
Well Done guys and gals clap
