Now, with the exception of travelling to events and the guy who lives in the next village from me, I have never EVER seen another Griff on the road when I have been out and about .

On Saturday evening, I was in my red Griff waiting to pull out of a side turning in Flockton and a beaut of a Griff trundled past, the really really pale green colour. Don't suppose it's anyone on here, but it was nice to see another one on the road.

Then yesterday I was eastbound on the M62 near Leeds and I saw a black or very dark blue/purple Griff going t'other way. No point flashing though... I was in the Peugeot it has got it's PH sticker in the back now though

Don't suppose that was anyone here either, but, you never know

Yours wasn't parked up near Headingley on Saturday was it? I don't know about a green one but I do see an olympic (I think) blue one around Headingley quite a bit.

You might see my Griff (Crimson) burbling around Leeds centre - usually on a Friday - but wasn't in it yesterday.

I saw your red Griff in Flockton if that helps! Unfortunately I was in the Lexus though....

Seen a dark green Griff reversing out of a house on the Ring Road and a blue one driving down the A61 towards town. A blue Chimaera, which I think we found out was Basil Brush. And... a couple of others floating around but I can't remember exactly which models.

Yep Marcus - that was me parked in Headingley on saturday

Darren - should''ve simply flashed the lights and stuck the thumb up - I'd have figured you were something to do with either TVR or PH... unless I'd just done something stupid, which is always a pretty good bet

Blue Chimaera is probably me. Up and down the ring road and roundhay road, day in, day out earning a crust to feed the beast and the kids.

Seen Basil in his Tucan (sorry Tuscan) coming out of Halfords about a week ago. Didn't wave. Hmph.

Sh*t, rumbled. Looking forward to the day Lidl starts selling fuel.

I bet Halford's velcro is actually as good as the genuine TVR stuff though.
