Lots of nice ones rolled in.

Whose was the Moonraker/Salt black LE at the far end of the car park? That looked perfect.
Are those seats in all the LE models?
I noticed the indicator lenses were different too, also an LE thing?

All mine ...

Seats are Cerberra seats and are in all the SE's. The indicator lenses were made clear on mine and most of the SE's I have seen, although not all of them.

motorcycle courier damage, flying debris (city airport) damage & stone chips are a 25,000 mile in 12 months optional extra . I have decided against keeping them and will return the car to its previous glory !

Mmm, that picture doesnt quite show the flame salt effect up the bonnet well enough!

That is a bloody lovely Griff.
I walked all the way to the end of the carpark to see it after noticing it from the Jag showroom.
Hung around for a bit waiting for someone to turn up and kept my eye on it for the rest of the day waiting to meet the owner.
Anyway, after you not turning up for ages I took the car out for a quick spin. It goes lovely!

Had my back turned for just 30 mins (going over a Griff in the showroom) and you were gone, typical!

I still hold you solely responsible for me looking for a Griff. It was you that parked outside my room at BTaP (Sunday morning). Always liked them but that was the turning point.

Don't ever sell it.
(Unless you are feeling generous and want to give it to me for half price!)

This is how it should look, November '02....



.....and this is it in November '03 at Donington..



Will be retiring it to a friend of my Dad's in the countryside for some TLC in the next couple of months to bring it back ....

You're more than welcome to a quick drive at VW if I make it along ...

Typical un reliable German crap eh?!
(note to my Golf: cover your ears!)

I cant see those pics! I'll try looking again at home though.
I'll definitly be at VW and just to be unique I'll be the only one in a diesel 5 door hatchback!
(Green Golf with PH sticker if you are trying to spot me!).

I have arranged to meet Ed Hasler (Ehasler) there to look at some camera lenses so if you already know Ed then I'll be the one next to him!

Otherwise I'll be loitering around your car!
