who's the unlucky sod who owns this beauty? I saw her today on the back of a wagon with a fair old bit of damage in the front end
hope the drivers ok

Me....SOB...!!!

Going uphill(!!),hit a bit of subsided road (across whole lane),back came out,couldn't catch it...BANG..!

I'm a bit sore but that's all thanks for asking.
When I've cheered up I'll tell you how shit the AA are by refusing to attend the accident,how the insurance company appeared to lose the car and the many cock-ups made along the way..!

What do I replace the griff with..?Well power steering,abs and traction control might be a good idea for a start..!

Cheers

Good to see you're ok. Dare we ask what speed you were going at the time?

Another Griff! Give it a few days to get over the grief and then get back on that horse!

Commiserations

At least you're OK - easier to have to fix a car than a human!!

Get back into the Griff!! You don't really want a tin box with gizmos - they leave the road too, you know!!!

Elle Vis,
I can empathise - I managed to 're-arrange' the front of my Griff (and a fair portion of a local roundabout) in November. I was gutted - and the thing that felt the worst was the idea that I may have taken a Griffith out of circulation. I was lucky - i has been repaired.

You will want another, and soon - especially with the summer fast approaching.

Chin up, lad - see at a club meet soon.
