Just popped over from the Porsche forum to say hello.

Was at my first VMax this Sunday and met with a couple of the Griff drivers.

Ballistic Banana: Beautiful machine - had fun trying to keep up with you on the M1..

Gruffgriff: thanks for the ride and demonstrating the Griff's handling abilities...!!

Met with a couple of other TVR drivers (oggs in his Chimaera) and another Griffith driver (red car - apologies but did not get your name). Very friendly bunch of guys and welcoming to a PH newbie.

Great cars - Unfortunately I'm a total wuss (and crap driver..) so need all the help I can get (ABS, traction control, etc). One day...

Hope to see you guys again at another PH event soon.

Cheers - Erik

Erik, you`re most welcome. I was pleased to demonstrate how a car without driver aids handles when piloted by a muppet......I`m sure your 997 wouldn`t have pirouetted in the same fashion if everything was switched off?!

Thanks for 168!
