Today was the day i said goodbye to my beloved pride and joy,and i really do feel gutted!frownfrownfrown.I shall miss this great car so much,and i really do feel like i've lost a big part of mecry.This is the last i saw of her-

My only consolation is that it's gone to a very,very good home,and a genuine(and very nice chap,)enthusiastic owner.
Good luck with the car Darren,i hope it gives you as much pleasure as it has to me,over the last three yearswavey

Around about another month,or thereabouts,hard to say at the mo....it'll feel like foreverfrown

I do get a 'quick fix' tomorrow though,when we pick it up from the second exhaust makers.

Mel feels the same as me really,so she needs a kick as well!!hehe

To be honest after having a Chimaera 500 for over 5 years I was worried about changing to the far superior, in all departments, Griffith, but after gentle coaching from Mike I just about managed it biggrin

I don't think you can compare Mikes old car to many other Griffs, even well sorted 500's. It is a testament to Mikes obsessive attention to detail wink You will also probably find it is an easier drive than many other cars to boot RayV..

So using Mikes car as an example of Chim v Griff only shows how naive some of you are wink

That and the drop dead gorgeous looks, the exclusivity and the fact that it's not a golf buggy. hehe
