Just bought my first Griffith 500 via PH, after driving a Wedge for 21 years.
Can't wait to collect it next week.
Incidentally, is it true that blue ones are faster?

By far -

When do you get it, Peege?

I went from a wedge to a Griff 500. I thought the wedge was fast!

Hi Jon,

As long as my funds reach the seller's bank this week, I hope to collect it on Christmas Eve. Failing that, it will be early next week.

Yes, I agree, compared with my Wedge it is stupidly fast, and much better put together.

How good would that make your Christmas?

If you get your hands on the car on Christmas Eve, you'll be spending Christmas day on a very open road!

Yep it will save you a hell of alot on upgrades that others require to match the performance of a blue Griff and even then they won't be as fast as they're not blue.

Congrats on the purchase and enjoy Christmas.

mongoose,

err- push came to shove just couldn't do it I've just put to much personal energy into the car to let it go.

Picking up a Maserati Coupe tomorrow so I'll have 3 very different V8s to play with!

Stuck a Tubi exhaust on the Maser - so hope to enjoy a Fezzer type exhaust sound

PS Thomr - your car looks fantastic ( for a bluey )

I'm pleased for you. That is one tasty Griff. I've seen the ads and thought how nice it looks.

You do actually know how much that decision to keep it makes sense. Good man. A man with a grip on reality.
