Good meet this morning in the Park with a real gaggle of Wedges ,,,,,, nice one

[Rockettvr]

Good meet today. Enjoyed the run back - Chris and Paul accelerating down the A2 just in front of me - V8's in stereo

[mk1fan]

I.ve kept next Sat free to meet up. Hope there's as good a turnout. Not bothered to meet at the park or the diner. Or a n other venue. Hope the weathers as good.

Thanks for making the effort chaps...Certainly attracted a lot of attention...Although one dumbness got told off for sprawling over Number 7's bonnet...Cheeky bleeders...What makes people think that these cars are there for their entertainment??...What planet are these morons from?...Do they have brains?....



Also when we all left together it sounded awesome...Im not normally at the back but I'm glad i was...

Next week we might be going to head corn as the last air worthy Vulcan bomber will be flying for the last time...
There might also be some WW2 birds flying in...

Cheers

Echo what has been said great day and turn out ... Ron the 350 has never sounded so good and some epic pops and bangs on the A2 Paul the SE sounds great when you were coming up the fast lane!!

[Henry Harris]

What a nice relaxing chat. I am glad I came. Well done Mark for facilitating. You are getting the hang of this event organising.

Thanks Henry...Im building up a CV for BBWF 2020 at Greenwich park..The royal parks are benefitting from our presence (Which could be maximised) ...They have an area for speed trials, Burnouts and doughnuts...Low fat of course....

If we start at Mr Wolfe we have a nice speed run, The roundabout is flat anyway...

Start


Run

Obviously there will be no cars parked along the sides just bails of hay which will get utilised by the royal cavalry show later in the evening...Hoorah.

Should be with y'all next month....

Thanks Chris
I'm very happy with the result of the "temporary"(which may become permanent)exhaust I cobbled together
Fairly quiet at idle, a bit of "rasp" at about 3000 rpm, and plenty of nice loud pops,bangs,and crackles. No exhaust drone either pretty good all round
So good to see the gredge after what initially looked like it being written off looks great and sounded awesome.

So it was you making all that noise.....I could hear Dave but someone up front was extra AK crackly...I think you have convinced me Ron, What with the grief i have been getting with neighbours lately..My centre box is going!...Maybe a glass packed cherry bomb to join the pipes...

Talking of pipes i will post out that bit to you in the morning...Can you send me your address again...Cheers...Ziga

Keep hold of it zig no great rush. I'm not around next weekend but might be at the sausage meet the week after that. If do ill take you on a run to see what you think of my exhaust.

[Number 7]

Great sounding Wedge Ron - I bet you're popular with your neighbours! I couldn't help noticing that you seem to be running quite a lot of negative camber at the rear. Great when hooning, but can wear the inner shoulders in normal road use.

Mark: Headcorn sounds interesting, but I couldn't see any timetable for the event, so we have no idea when the Vulcan might be over. Not sure I could spare several hours just hanging around, much as I'd like to see it again.

Looks a good event but like you say there is no time scheduled for the Vulcan...I will call them tomorrow to see if they have any idea...

Whilst I'd love to see the Vulcan flying, I too can't spare all day on Saturday.

[billynobrakes]

I would have loved to have come along in my 350 but I am on holiday, would have loved to have seen the Vulcan the noise is awesome plus I had many a skydive at Headcorn its funny I am on holiday and my back is killing me due a silly accident I had at Headcorn hitting the ground at speed all my own fought though

Hi Paul
The exhaust is fine at idle/low revs its only when you open the taps and the revs rise that you get a bit of volume and popping and banging
As for the the rear camber I think a previous owner fancied himself as a bit of a Lewis Hamilton - lots of rear camber, polybushed all round,lower ridehieght, and adjustable dampers set to rock hard
Will keep an eye on tyres though I'm not really doing enough miles to generate wear of any kind at present

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps...We are meeting in the Park for tea and bacon butties from 10am onwards if anyone is up for it...Ron i will put the hose in the boot so if you do come along then i cannot forget it..Along with Chris's bits....Cheers...Ziga

[Jack Valiant]
