Hi all,

Nice to see old faces again and meet new!

Good turnout for a chilly January day, quite a few Griffs and loved the E-Type, wanted one just like it when I decided on my Griff 3 years ago, if only I could afford both!

Great run down from Kings Lynn and back with our little convoy of 4 TVRs (Did you realise we set the car alarms off as we passed the garage at Shouldham?) Probably frightened several old people and small children en-route too!

Neil


Yes, great drive and absolutely wonderful to do it with the roof off

As you say, a good turn out with old and new faces Did we miss Griffophenia or did he not make it across?

He was probably put off by you telling him that he might have offended me and I am 7'1" and built like a brick $h1Th0u$3 !!!

I really want to come to one of these, but I'd be a bit embarrassed driving a 1.5 Civic in a convoy of TVRs! I'll see if I can persuade my bro to take his Spit for a run out next time. That's unless someone wants to swing by Fakenham and pick me up...

I`ve turned up in a Corsa before now - and did I mention that "Toffer" turned up today in a Citroen C5? No? "Toffer" turned up in a Citroen C5 today!

Just come along FunkyNige, we are all Phers whatever we drive!

One of these days (in other words, when the house is done, the car isn't giving me grief and the girlfriend is in a good mood) I'll make it along to one of the meets. Keep up the good work guys!

Nice to see some familiar faces and some new ones too - a good turnout for January!

Ian - any chance you can soften up the pub's eating arrangements? Half of us ended up in the restaurant and half in the bar so didn't get to mingle much...

But thanks to all who came along: and there'll be another on the last Sunday of next month. I hear there are some car shows coming up as well which you'll all be invited to
