Great fun ain't it ?

I've had mine about 2 months now and I'm glad I bought it.

As usual the winter period is time to improve my "toy" so it's not likely to come out to play again until April and by then there will be some improvements in place to increase the driving pleasure.
At the moment it's in it's nice warm garage in many pieces but I'm sure that all the hard work ( and midnight oil ) will be worth it.

Hope you continue to enjoy, happy motoring.

Colin.

I'm glad to see that you know what gender a Griff is.

Andy

Glad you got your Griff.


I've bought loads of nice bits to fit to mine, so I'm very busy in the garage at the moment. Problem is my wife's got a long list of DIY for the winter also, including ripping out and repalcing both of our bathrooms!

Colin.

I was just thinking the same thing. Looks like a long and happy partnership.

Don't put him away! You soon warm up - a 6 hour trip to the Cheddar Gorge seemed to work yesterday (10 of us, roofs off of course!).

Happy winter motoring!

Agree on the winter driving bit - took the Griff to Southend and back yesterday starting out at 7.30am (about 160miles round trip) and had the roof off - bloody brilliant - but scary fog and ice. Nearly hit a truck avoiding wrecked cars sitting stationary in the middle of the M25, nearly hit a Rover diesel who decided to pull into the path of myself and a Porsche making evasive manouvers necessary. The griff handles the hard braking (make that skidding) very well. Roll on next weekend!
