well, it's like this ... me and Blueyonder have just been out for a few beers in Goole, came back with compulsory kebab and just so happened to catch an episode of "A car is born" where the guy ended the episode by climbing into the boot of his Cobra to go to sleep ... well ... a few beers and a Griff in the garage ... it had to be tried!

and yes ... the boot did close silly

Always a good idea to cuddle up to a tank of fuel.

Its strange what you do when you've had a couple, isn't it? I remember coming home from the pub with a mate one night and sitting in the Griff, in the garage, just revving the engine for a good 2 minutes.

01:30am and a set of annoyed neighbours. No doubt.

It's truely a three seater to rival the McLaren!!!

Now we know we can get a body in the boot.... does this open up new possibilities for the Griff as a criminals' get away car along side the Jag and Transit ???

Yep! Had a blast in the great yellow one and whilst the power and straight line speed was awesome she did get a bit skitty on the bumby bendy surfaces yes

Nothing a full geo, new dampers and a service next week won't resolve......and then wehaay!

I am really hoping that the dampers will be fine and the new bushes and Geo will sort the problem.

What are those tyres Del? Toyos?
