Hi Guys

Well after almost six years of absolute enjoyment my wonderful,glorious,fantastic beloved Griffith has gone to its new owner this morning cry.I had one last blast in her before she went biggrin OHHHH how I am going to miss that wonderful noise.( Had to let her go because of my employment situation furious)otherwise there is NO WAY I would have parted with her.I am sure she will give hours of fun to her new owner,hopefully I will have another Griff one day.(OR Maybe buy her back if she ever comes up for sale again)

I will still be around the forum,thanks to everyone whom I have met and talked to on here its been a blast!

G.M ( Still in name even if shes gone)

You must be absolutely deverstated, I know i would be. To see someone else driving off in what was your P&J, must have been heartbreaking. I hope that things improve for you and you manage to get back into tvr ownership again in the not to distant future.

Craig,

I am very sorry to hear that you have had to part with your beloved pre-cat Griff. I am gutted for you and I hope you return to the fold soon.

Your legacy will most certainly live on with a large number of Griffs now sporting the new and improved G.M. warning panel.

All the best mate

So it came to it after all then Craig.

I'm very sorry to hear you've had to sell your lovely griff. You'll be a sad loss to the community to please don't forget us mate, keep coming back and with any luck you'll be able to rejoin us one day soon.

Good luck for the future.

Very sorry to hear the news Craig. After last year's just managing to hang to the car with a new job eventually coming up it must be a real bummer for it to happen again so hope you do get everything sorted out and get back into TVR ownership soon.

OH YES, VERY VERY GOOD HANDS........

The narrowboat saga has been shelved for a time, we went everywhere trying to find a mooring leeds/liverpool and the lancaster canal spent nearly a year looking..... we hired a boat and the kids got bored also they are too young to be left for a day/two or week on there own...


The main reason i sold my first griff was a number of things....... i was approaching forty, i found out i had diabetes, and my dad died of legionaires disease after a holiday, all within a few months of each other......

It was more of a mid-life mind bending crisis, i went from having £60k worth of cars and bikes to a £900 escort

Craig,

Im very sorry to hear the news. For me your help and advice has been invaluble. It has helped me beyond anything I ever expected from a random name on a forum. For me it is like loosing a friend, even I have never met you nor even said hi.

But I can say thank you. I hope you are able to return to Griff ownership soon. And im sure im not alone in hoping that you will attend the Growl. I and many other PH'ers will be happy to buy you a drink there.

Thank you for all the assistance.
