Thanks Alistair, I would like to think that we met at the Growl but to be honest I am really bad with names and faces..... much better with cars.

Have you got any pics of your Griff to post up in this thread or any more info on her?

Sorry I am a bit dim and can't seem to manage to upload a photo (upload an image (beta) does not seem to work? My Griffith is a 96 500hc serp, starmist green. Had the car since January this yesr and loved evert minute. I will keep trying the upload, this is the first forum I have written on apart from the TVRCC.

Not to worry, uploading photos is not the easiest thing to master especially if you are new to forums. I have never had any luck with the upload an image beta either. I use Flickr to host mine and then link them in but there are plenty of other sites such as photo bucket and thumbsnap which are probably more suited to forum image hosting.

Your griff sounds very nice, they do look very stylish and classic in green. Glad you are enjoying ownership. The TVRCC is a great club to be a part of if you are passionate about TVRs. The PH forums are great and very active as they are free but just be aware that as they are open to anyone there can be some idiots, thankfully fairly idiot free in the TVR areas. I trust you have been along to some of your local TVRCC meets, also have a look in the PH regional areas as often they have monthly meets which also normally attract a good crowd of fellow petrol heads.

Hopefully catch up at the Griff Growl 2012 thumbup

Thanks for the advice and I will join Flickr. I think I might have followed you on the 'run out' at the Griff Growl and enjoyed your superb exhaust note - a fabulous Griff.

Really enjoy the TVRCC events and try and get involved as much as possible with the nearby regional events. Tag 2 was great, my first major TVR event, as was the Griff Growl but I could only attend on the Saturday. Although I have lusted after a TVR Griff for many years, I did not realise what a great part of the ownership would be in meeting lots characterful friendly people with a real passion for TVR.

On Flickr if you hit the share button and choose BB code from the options then copy and paste the text into a thread here and the photo should appear.

If you were behind this blue Griff then yes that is my one.

I was the first car that got stuck at the lights in the village when the group became separated so apologies if you were behind me as I was navigating as well as driving after that.

I think this works
When you try to upload an image from beta once you have browsed to the image and opened it. You press the enter button on your keyboard!
Good luck

Many thanks to all for the info. May have had success.

I was following you at the Griff Growl in the run out and I would of been completely lost if I wasn't behind you. Great exhaust note especially through the tunnel when you dropped a cogg.

The Growl seems such a distant memory now the nights have darkened and it's cold and wet again. Roll on the big one next year biggrin

Thanks Simon, very true. Hopefully not, but I think this might by the last weekend before laying up the Griff for the winter months.

I can't imagine doing anything as childish as slowing down and booting it through a tunnel..... you must have the wrong Griff. wink
