Leadfoot said: I suggested it on the Tamora forum (& creating a Tamora/T350 one) as Griff & Chimp owners seemed to post on both anyway. Can't see what the problem is with letting the Chimp owners in.................
Stop it with the monkey business.
This is a Chimp
Definition: Chimaera Greek Mythology. A fire-breathing she-monster usually represented as a composite of a lion, goat, and serpent
Whereas: Griffith Arthur. 1872-1922. Irish nationalist leader who was a founder of the Sinn Fein movement for Irish independence (1905). Then later in 1960's Jack - Founder of the TVR movement in the USA.
S'funny but in my dictionary it says:
Chimaera: a grotesque product of the imagination/an organism consisting of at least two genetically kinds of tissue as a result of a mutation, grafting etc.
Griffith: is not in the dictionary, as the blend of speed, power and deisgn is, of course, indefinable.
In summary: Eat my dust, grotesque mutants!

I just did a search in an on line dictionary/ Thesaurus, It came out with this:
