GROWL 2009 - yes 2009!!!
Discussion
A couple of suggestions you may like to think about, if you haven't already, are (1) an organised route for a drive out, weather permitting; and (2) if you are looking for a band to play then Carl Baker's "One Weird Fish" are really good and play a varied selection of covers and should appeal to most people.

Suggestion for GG09
Best Griff
I don't know how it'd work, but there are loads of us who are happy to go on the RR for a shoot-out and plenty of others who prefer their pet RR to 'prove' their manhood. How about we arrange a proper test? Bugger the numbers.
It works like this:
Dual carriageway or motorway.
Side by side at 50mph in fourth.
Floor it.
First to 70mph (or agreed marker) wins.
Numbers and times immaterial.
End of.
Awaits flaming ...

Saw your motor up on the ramp Friday when i finally picked mine up, nothing serious I hope?
Oh, and KEEP IT! ya damn puff, fancy thinking of chang'n it for a Gayman or Cockster
In all seriousness tho you really can't let it go before you have driven it on track, just once and you'll realise how much more potential it has

No better feeling then getting one of the gay cars on a sunday poncing along then they see the Griff and want to show off to the Missus/Bimbo/Jail Bait (delete as appropriate) next to them..... let them give it full beans whilst you casually sit there gently sueezing the throtle.... then accidently on purpose pushnig your right foot down a little harder because you're board of the snail like progress and leaving them in a cloud of petrol/exhaust fumes Oh, and KEEP IT! ya damn puff, fancy thinking of chang'n it for a Gayman or Cockster
.... funny thing they never want to catch up and say nice car as they are too embarressed... unlike owners of other more worthy marques Bluebottle said:

I did the MSE course with you - that was half a track day. In all seriousness tho you really can't let it go before you have driven it on track, just once and you'll realise how much more potential it has It was excellent fun but it clearly demonstrated that the Griff has more to offer than I can safely contain at the moment. That's nothing to do with why I fancy a change - that's because I fancy a change. OK, so whatever I choose certainly won't have the grunt or sense of occasion the Griff provides but it will be a change. Which is good.Still can't make up my mind though - the two porkers you've mentioned or a 996, Maser 3200GT/Spyder, Z3/4M, XKR ...
I'd forgotten about that MSE Performance day, It was a brilliant days fun too 
The Masser 3200GT was on my original shopping list before I bought my first Griff, Ironically I chose the TVR over the 3200GT cos of all the electrical gremlin horror stories I'd heard from Ex. owners...lol

Hmmm. Just booked my room.
When I called the number in FFG's first post they told me the best price they could do was £65 for a single. After a little to-ing and fro-ing I got them to put me through to the hotel itself where they told me it was £60. Again I had to point out that we had an agreed rate of £55, which to be fair, they conceded.
I've asked for email confirmation just in case.

The number is the hotel so who knows who you spoke to. If you quotye GRIFF GROWL the price is £65 double, £55 single. I have signed an agreement to this end. Any problems ask for Rachel Thomas who is fully aware. If you have no joy let me know and I'll sort it.When I called the number in FFG's first post they told me the best price they could do was £65 for a single.
