I have today paid the deposit for my Griff 500 and pick her up at the end of next week. Can't wait!
Good call, and congrats. I kid you not, you'll love it. However, please be aware that certain changes are about to take place in your life:
1/ You will be more interested in the weather than ever before. 'Top down' weather is what you will be looking for.
2/ Your productivity at work will reduce - the desire to work extra hours will be a thing of the past.
3/ Your respect for the road will increase - the first twitch in the wet, as the back starts to go, will be your yellow card. Make sure you heed it and don't get a red one.
4/ People will say your mad for buying a TVR - ignore them they're wrong. Let them continue to drive their sensible Mondeos.
5/ You will have an overwhelming desire to rev the car to 3k as you start it up. This is normal and cannot be cured.
6/ Little things like "where do I park it when I'm shopping" become big things.
7/ There are more, many more........

Enjoy it, it's quite a smile for the first few drives !
What are you talking about.
I have had my Griff for twelve months and still have a large grin firmly in place whenever I see him, plus an even bigger one (if that is possible!)when I drive him.

In the unlikely event that this desire dwindles, take the Griff to Thames Valley Racetech for an 'adjustment' to the exhaust. You may then find that tunnels and bridges take on a new purpose.
