The Death of a Griffith......R.I.P.

[H & the Tsunami]

Last night at 11:45pm my pride and joy beat its last breath

Heavy impact into earth bank several times after losing it on greasy road and sliding sideways across grass verge..

My first accident in 15 years, and it was totally my fault (Too fast too furious), now we have one less beautiful Griffith 500 in the world to enjoy.

She was the most exilerating and most beautiful car i have ever owned or driven, I will miss her.

(my apologies for the nickname in light of recent events)

Condolences!

You're OK, though? (Apart from gutted, naturally.)


You won't be the first and certainly not the last!

Thank you for your kind words...I am amased that i walked away with only servere whiplash and seat belt bruising considering the severity of the damage incurred, TVR Bodyshop stopped estimating the repair cost when they reached £15.5k in parts alone.

Have you worked out how it happened? I know how the details tend to blur after the event, but if you can learn from it you can take something positive from it.

Good god, this must be some sort of record.
Trashed on Sunday and replaced by Thursday. And by something newer!
I bet you'll be driving like Miss Daisy for a while though eh

Just Andy43 to sort out now and the forum will be a happy place again.

First: OUCH! Although it is testament to the fact that they ARE strong vehicles in adverse conditions contrary to some popular myths.

Second: Where's that "thread, useless, pictures" icon when we need it?

Definitely need more Blue Bottle information
