"Life Jim but not as we know it"

Either that or they are all tucked away for the winter!

....i think its quiet because Griff owners tend to know;

What oil to put in
What tyres to use
How to fix a blown fuse, knackered relay, dodgy alarm etc

Griff owners tend not to be fussed about;

LED lights
LPG conversions
Turbos

That said, I follow some of the threads on these topics closely - I admire the ingenuity, attention to detail (and sheer bloodymindedness) of owners who set out to improve the marque, even if its in an area that doesn't need improving!

The only problem I can see is if the number of posts drops to a level where the mods decide to combine the Griff forum with another model yikes

As said, all tucked up for winter in their cotton wool.

Unlike Chims which can be, and are used all year round hehe

Nothing to add other than mine is sat outside in the rain waiting to start a jaunt up to Lincolnshire, via Heathrow, for the weekend. Still yet to see a Griffith out on the open road in my near 2 years of TVR ownership.

Don´t worry, they tried exactly this several years ago.
I am sure they don´t want a similar s-storm again.

Or is it winter coming in ?
Put my Grif in the garage and it won't come out till spring.
Only a few things to sort in winter.

I was out in mine today. Nice bit of Autumn sunshine, roads a bit damp but still a nice day to be out in my TVR

Nice one Colin. I was at the NEC Classic Car Show yesterday, but the weather here was misty, wet and cold, today raining wet and cold - think the Griff will be in the garage until we get some nicer weather. This can happen between now and Christmas, those crisp but bright dry days, can't wait for it.

I do miss some of the old guard who I know have left the TVR fraternity, but there are some still around.
The trouble is PH became no fun and a lot of people decided not to bother with it anymore. I rarely post anymore because of it but I quit my TVRCC membership so don't have the luxury of being able to hide in their forums.

Long term ownership also means most of the questions have been seen before, so people get a bit jaded.

Mine is on ramps ready for me try to find the cause of another clunk from the back end.

Perhaps I should blog progress.

One other thing is how much of a PITA it's become to post photos. I used to document everything I did via photos but can't be arsed with these any more either.

My Griff is awaiting its trip over to Blackpool for some re-firb work. The boys and girls at D & C Trim will be working their magic, with a few subtle mods and improvements.

Car will be delivered over there next Friday.

I love those days - roof down, hat on driving

I haven't posted much because I've not done much to mine recently. I sorted out an earth problem a few weeks back but other than I've just been filling up with petrol when necessary. Don't think that would make much of a blog wink

I am thinking about a few winter jobs like replacing the carpet which I will do a write up on.
