The weekend is almost over, so where's the next chapter of the 'DustyC Griff 500 saga'?
If you don't post for another few days I'll assume it's for all the right reasons!!

Don't worry about it Dusty, take your time, don't let anyone hurry you. I'm sure before too long they'll be a black pre turpentine, 500bhp, number plate D5TYC up at around the 14.5k mark, it's bound to happen.

only joking mate

Was all ready to go and buy it this saturday but was beaten to it

Wont go into details as I dont want to give the dealer any unnecessary bad press.

For anyone that does already know or who wants to guess who the dealer is I only have good things to say about them anyway. Top service.
Now go and find another one the same, and be quick about it!

I'm not convinced about that. 500 prices seem to be rising* (may be just the coming of spring but when I was looking this time last year average prices seemed to be lower). So HURRY UP!

*obviously pre-cat prices are about to go stratospheric then

Yeah I noticed that rise. I meant all the money Im saving driving a Diesel golf around instead of a 5.0 V8!

Then again I get less smiles per mile in the Golf

(Apart from the fact its quiet, dry and does over 500 miles per tank..... but its also quite dulling on a long journey!)

Griffs aren't!

:snigger:

Seriously, hope you get one soon, although when you do, the rest of us'll have no-one to extract the Michael from.

Yep, agree, I bought mine late winter and prices were low, leave it til there's nice weather and prices will rise significantly IMHO. I noticed this at dealerships, one week almost empty and then a bit of sun and everyone was out.
