now Im putting my foot down. Its a car. It has no name apart from the one TVR gave it.

Ali gives it a name but Im a grumpy old man and am putting a stop to it!

Went to Donnington for the British GT racing. Great turnout, about 100 TVRs there.

Must say thats strange how the wheel cap came off without the screw
You could try a Breakers for another, forget the name of one that normally has TVR's sure its in the links page, might be Douglas Valley come to think of it.

M27?
Im in that area and a new Griff owner too!

See you around soon no doubt


In the meantime why not take the other 3 centre caps of and fit some locking whell nuts. The sprint Griffs Ive seen do that and it looks good IMO.

But then again I want the Cerbie speedline alloys on mine. Cant be arsed (or afford) to sort it though.

Edited: The Cosmos blue griff I posted a pic of is me so if you see me!
Or if you see someone in a green Golf waving!

Ha ha! Its almost a joke isnt it!

After looking at blacks and the darker colours the Cosmos blue one really stood out well. I liked the way it looked in the dark and light and Im very glad I bought it over a black one. (It also looks fantasit underthe garage fluro's).

If given the option to swap it for a similar black one I wouldnt. This colour suits me just fine.
Anyway, everyone knows that TVRs are supposed to be blue

Griffs are about the only car that I think can carry off almost any colour.

Light colours aren't bad either IMO.

Thats what I was trying to imply!
When I viewed the Cosmos blue (a lighter colour than I was originally after) I was so impressed I bought it!

Yup, even if they sometimes look purple!
