I caught it by accident as I thought it was to be aired later this month!?!?

But I wasn't disappointed

Shame the feature wasn't a bit longer but they did seem quite positive about TVR.

Great car... Great noise

Edited to say that it looks like it will be repeated on Sat 12th May at 7:00pm for anyone that might have missed it !!

Ah I didn't know it was lazyitus' car. Looked excellent.

I'm a big TVR fan, but I wouldn't have thought you could run a Griff almost free for a year. Although I don't have much knowledge of them so I wouldn't know and wouldn't want to judge.

As in, buy the right one and you shouldn't suffer much from depreciation Rob.

BUGGER !

I missed it. cry


I was told it was on the 23rd of May and nobody informed me any different as they said they would.

Good job its on this Saturday - No, wait a minute, I'm going on holiday and I'll miss it again. cry cry

Please, please, please could somebody record it for me as my Sky+ can't be relied upon and my DVD recorder is not working?



I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE MISSED MY CAR ON TELLY

edited to remove more severe bad language than necessary as my initial reaction to missing it really was not good.

I'll be recording it on Saturday for prosperity.... on VHS though which I can convert to digital. I can send you this although someone else with a swish HD or DVD recorder might be able to get you a better quality version.

Yes, thats the idea of that section of the show. Each week they are showing cars that you can buy now, run for a year and then sell it for at least the same money next year.

He reckoned that Griff prices had risen by £300 in a month anyway.

Just shows that you can run a Griff for a year and then get your money back if you decided to sell it after a year.

STILL SEETHING....

Yeah I've been watching a few episodes.

I'm trying to tempt my Dad into one after he gets rid of his XK8 Convertible, which hopefully won't be for a while. But then he keeps saying Tuscan and T350 to me and gets me all excited. (The reason is that he said he wouldn't want to spend over around 15k, but hes quite unpredictable at times. hehe) Knowing my luck he'll of read this. Hes a member on here but doesn't post on here often.

Off for a drive into the Yorkshire dales now. Or moors. I don't know the difference. We'll see how it goes.
