excellent choice sir,
a big welcome to griff ownership

[virgil]

If all goes well, 24hrs from now I should have the biggest grin!...can't wait. Driven nothing like this before so should be fun...and may have a little of the summer left to enjoy the top down blasts.

Now I have to learn what all the buttons do on the dash....obviously TVR wanted to keep the weight down and thought labels too heavy!

Found the car on PH classifides so finding this the perfect website already!

Cheers,

Virgil

So which one in the classifieds is it?

[mrmaggit]

Get along to the Growl, young man!

Fun indeed.

However, the key word is 'respect'.

You WILL enjoy.

Car is the moonraker black '94 with cream leather (Pplate D8WWW - didn't get this plate though). about page 4 if searched by price.

Picked it up last night and had a roofless blast back to Sunny (actually was for a change) Southend from Hants. Goes great. 2nd and 3rd gear are fantastic. Will promise to be v. carefull in the wet though! :-)

Sister in law to be and her other half came round and saw it and loved it...when the better half got home and saw it, she liked it, BUT she's onyl 5'3 and the seat doesn't really slide forward enough...oops!

Does anyone make TVR booster cusions? :-)

My other half is about the same height and she has a booster seat (matching leather etc) to fit the seat. Ask your local dealer or drop me a line and I will put you in contact with mine.

Nice car virgil,

That one was on my list of ones to see, but I bought another one before I got to view it.

Pick mine up tomorrow (Friday)

It's been a long week

A blast in a Griff Is as good as a spliff. (Speed matters)

Not exactly the same sensation

Wahey! Another car with a 'porn' handbrake! Welcome and enjoy!

[virgil]

Thanks all for the warm welcome...hope the car treats me as nicely!

Just can't wait to get home now!

[srebbe64]

Interesting number plate (D8WWW) - it could be sold to an internet dating company!

Regarding Griffs, I've driven a lot of fast and fancy cars, but there really isn't anything to compare to bombing around in the Griff on a warm sunny day with the roof off. It's almost sensory overload. Enjoy, and don't let anyone tell you it's a poor choice. It's a damn good one!

[groucho]

Got to agree with you there srebbe. I had a day off work today, so drove a 60 mile round trip just to get a pub lunch. That's one of you tricks isn't it?

Definately more 'smiles per mile' - 3 months into mine and cant remember life Before Griff ("BG". Going to the Growl in a few weeks time and taking it on Eurohoon for 10 days of touring in September. I actually enjoy washing,waxing and polishing the car now [must lie down,must lie down!!!]

My biggest problem is arguing with the Infinately Better Half over who is going to drive the big 'un!!

Enjoy - one of my Managers lives in Shoeburyness so I'll tell him to keep an eye out for you!!
