Lol, from one of the comments:

"... Well done TVR. You've made a car that's gonna cure erectile dysfunction, something that Lamborghini and Aston Martin forgot how to do. ..."

'Edgar even talks electric as something they have in mind for the future'. No, no, no, no...

Meanwhile, one of the new Griffith's alleged 'competitors' demonstrates that Yanks still haven't mastered the corners...

Well, they are going to have to countenance it, as is every other car maker in the near future.
Hybrids with a good bit of all-electric range (let’s not talk about the naughty V8 in the front, purely for decorative purposes) will be with us for decades I recon.

Youtube is awash with yanks flooring their Corvettes and the like and stuffing them into the scenery.

I believe they must all be wearing thick soled shoes and can't feel the pedal under their floor.

I think this is pretty good publicity for Corvette - it's meant to be a beast.

Don’t do American cars... but I’d drive that one

Tvr won’t get near that... apparently is quicker than the latest GT40 around a track That’s pretty awesome.

Car Aid -



Car aid is charity close to my heart, and you as a car enthusiast can help “Billy Mc Griffith” by donating just One pound.

If everybody donates just one pound we can help Billy live the life he deserves, giving him a proud face and removing that fish look forever.

If we don’t take action now, Billy and his family will be destined to a life spiralling out of control. So help now, pledge just one pound to Billy and give him and his offspring the life they deserve.

Very good, but you forgot the backing soundtrack....

Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you the face
Ain't so great.

You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong, but Les,
Who's gonna drive your Griff,
Tonight.?

Seen this by accident but will unfortunately not be able to make it to any of the shows. But am really wondering why they didn't send this out to the deposit-holders via mail !?

[FlipFlopGriff]

Didn't know it was going to be at Silverstone Classic either. Looked at the link and Mrs FFG and myself are captured at ExCeL, which I also didn't know either.
FFG.
