For Matthew Poxon

Hi Matthew

Have been meaning to do this!

When I went to Haverthwaite to see this:



I also saw this!









Now that's what I call being "spotted!"

[V8 GRF]

Where you 'chuffed' you saw both of those...?

.... sorry...

To be fair to Matthew it is very nice under the bonnet as well

50p says you're right, though strictly speaking, at the moment it's many pieces of motor car which one day may yet again resemble a Griffith.

Hi Paul,

I cannot believe I have only just seen this. Thanks for the thread, certainly made me smile.

That is indeed what I call spotted! I still cannot believe we bumped into each other - small world. I will see you at the Adleburgh run in Jan if you are going.

All the best

Matthew

PS I had to get a cheeky snap of the car in front of the steam engine:

Caption competition beckons:

For starters:

'Big boys toys' or

'A very loud, big engined beast (from a byegone age of British engineering).... and an old train...'

'Which one lets you let off more steam ....'

Looks like it will handle like its on rails!

Do they both suffer from shunting?

[Hoofa]

About right for a griff owner, saw loads on the platform at Peterborough station

One is a classic iconic British design.

The other is a wheel barrow

Matthew,

Dont show those so called Essex friends of mine this.... They have a thing about, Griffs, steamers and shunting - it will simply add 'fuel to the fire!' LOL

In the mean time have a great Christmas from one Griff to another - from Essex to Wessex - Greetings my friend!

Regards

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your message, I hope you too had a great Christmas

I will be sure to tell all the Essex lot about the old steamer, I will also remind them that it will give their 'modern' Speed Sixes a run for their money.

I am still sulking about the Garner day
