Thought I would say hi to everyone. After a few months of looking and eventually selling my last car I finally found the Griff for me two weeks ago.

The next day I drove it to Scotland with a very happy (and posing) girlfriend in the passenger seat. 1500 miles later I am back at work and finding it hard to get the grin off my face.

It was an awesome (if wet at times) trip that I will detail later in the Roads forum. Just to say that the highlights were meeting some of the Netherlands TVRCC in Fort William and an epic drive with a Ferrari 430 from Loch Fyne to Perth.

My car is a standard '98 500 in Moonraker Black and a black interior with white stitching and alloy dash. I'll get some pictures on my profile when I have cleaned it. Loving everything about it.

Nice One Skipper. Your profile says London and South West; how South West is that? Cornwall?
Moonraker black seems to be a bit of a Cornish theme for the Griff as including mine that's three within 15 miles of me. You have exactly the same colour combo as Cornish Boy (James): V nice indeed! thumbup
