absolutely mental, probably the quickest car I've driven apart from my old Griff 500 (talking on a daily driving level and including 911's, 355's)

Really is a car not to be underestimated. Back end a bit hairy at high speeds and on the twisty stuff but is really good overall. Very well put together and engine note is fantastic.

Out of interest Ted I popped by Mole Valley Chessington on my way home & were 2 griffs outside, 1 was mica/rosso pearl, had racing seats and pistonheads stickers on it, the other was light blue and had a distinctive numberplate, later on I saw them in Wandsworth, don't know who they are do you ?

funnily enough, when I bounced it off the rev limiter (in 5th) on friday night, I did have a loaf of bread in the car.

no way, BM was wickedly fast, comfy and sounded great but can't beat taking the roof off on days like this. When I sell the 348 I'll either get a 911 or a Maserati 3200 and that will probably be at the end of the summer.

What I really want is to get a Griffith 4.3/500 as well as my daily car because as yet nothing has come close to the thrill my TVR gave me, the BMW did come close though. Unfortunately I don't have the parking (or enough money!!)
