Thought this had sold???

I know a lot of people think that Fernhurst are taking a piss a bit with thier Griff prices, but to be fair I think they are doing a good job at rightfully pushing the prices of these rare cars up. As has been mentioned already they are not making anymore and the Griff is one of most iconic TVRs made. With all the heath and safety crap nowadays there most certainly will not be anything remotely similar made again, only snooze worthy euro boxes.

With you all the way Matt.
So you didn't see Rossi this Sunday, you fell asleep ? I thought you were at Oulton ? And you're saying that 2 out of 3 races are fantastic, but MotoGP isn't for you. We happily travel to support the Brits in all classes, next year with Webb in 125's (plus others I hope), Smith and Redding in Moto2 and Crutchlow in MotoGP . . Let alone going to one of the old, proper circuits that remain on the calendar. Plus having a holiday in Oz.
There is nothing like MotoGP up close though Quinny (you've been to see it surely), sorry but WSB and BSB just do not cut the spectacle that MotoGP does. I'm not comparing racing, as currently WSB has that croown and that's why we went to see it twice this year. But, when you've stood at the end of the Mugello straight as Pedrosa was siting up for the braking zone at full chat, 200mph+ then it's addictive, you can stand there 15m away from them, phenomenal.
Agreed, the MotoGP racing is not great currently, (no privateer wins since Elias at Estoril) and I have said that for the last 2-3yrs, since the first 800cc season. But 125's and Moto2 are superb racing and I'd travel far and wide to see that alone . . This year it was Misano for MotoGP and Valencia for WSB, plus Silverstone, but that's without doubt the worst place in the world to watch bike racing I've been too . . I hate it, the GP was s
t there for spectators, always looks better when you're sat in the armchair.
However, every year we do at least one overseas round and next year it's PI for a holiday and the GP . . . although, given VR's move to Ducati, returning to Mugello is very very very very tempting, it'll be nuts.

I went to Oulton on Saturday
Yep watched the 125's right through, and GP2 right through, and the last 5 or 6 laps of Moto GP
I've been to many GP races, I was there when Barry flicked the V's to Kenny...
Ive seen, Lawson, Swantz, Rainey, Gardner, Cadalora, Doohan, etc etc etc
But there have been Moto GP races this year, where only 12 riders have crossed the line..... Hardly the nail biting spectacle it once was
I have to agree the small grids are not good , I was also there when sheene and kenny had their epic at silverstone , Used to love the old transatlantic Trophy meetings the best though happy days . Would be greaty to get that sort of series going again a bit like a moto ryder cup . Impossible i know Yep watched the 125's right through, and GP2 right through, and the last 5 or 6 laps of Moto GP
