I finally drove a 500 Griffith
Finally got to drive a customers today....national speed limit came very quick.
I now understand the phrase, the only thing to replace a TVR is another.
Very happy John

We had a Griffith 500 at the track day on Sunday.
First thing it did was break down....
Immobiliser had a hissy fit.

I love those cars too, not quite as nice as a Cobra but pretty close!

Thats exactly what i found, i've had a 500 Griff and i really don't know why a lot of people harp on about how scary they (TVR lot
mainly), also had a Cerbera now that was quick and handled quite well but at between £400-£700 for servicing they are expensive to run, they do sound
nice though, i'll stick with my Stylus RT it's as quick if not quicker cost nothing to run and handles properly.
Must try harder

Keep them on if you're going to drive it like you stole it, otherwise take them off. 
Finally back on the job!
