Saw it a few weeks ago in Cheddar Gorge. I think it's someone from Bristol. There's a video on another thread of it burning rubber - pretty impressive.

Have to say that in the flesh it looked...........weird.

Four exhaust pipes, and the Dummy is in the driving seat if he was responsible for this desecration.

Still there are manufacturers making quad pipe exhausts but spread tastefully apart me thinks scratchchin

Looks silly IMO. Though as said, if you're going to do that to a griff then why not have a whole range of pipes across the back end....

Unless those pipes double as Rocket Launchers then i'd say it looks pretty rediculous...

Okay the four pipes together centrally may not be to everyone's taste BUT it's easily remedied. This looks like an honest (ex-Cat D) car which would help a cash-stretched enthusiast into TVR Griffith ownership. At least it hasn't had the bodywork or interior chavved-up.

They look like a set of 60mm rocket launchers to me, very similar to the ones on the James Bond Aston as used in 'Die Another Day'. As such I will be putting in a bid as it would be a great as a new works car. Yes they would hear me coming but boy oh boy they would ducking for cover as I let of a salvo from those bad boys.

Me thinks the christmas spirit is getting to me...

The rare much sought-after Zertec exhaust was made in top quality Stainless Steel with straight-through cherry bomb mid-boxes and had two pairs of tailpipes, one pair on each side. It sounds evil and ripping.

I should know as I have one on my Griffith at present. In the words of Tiffany Dell 'This is not a car for wimps.'

PS I'm away to get a fix right now.
