BINGO!! Now how did I do that?

Taken at Prescott some three years ago......my red 400, now 4.5......and my friends Tasmin fitted with a 4ltr fuel injected v8 with a t5 box......currently being upgrading into a sprint h/climb t/day car.

Now I might be able to fill you in with more pics!!

Nice one Ade well done :-)

Love that white FHC......early wedges with a v8 are fantastic, love it

Not winter wedges just trying to post for the 1st time.

You got and more info on the FHC 200? What mods were done to the chassis to get the V8 in?

[ajp55]

Sorry but the conversion was carried out before we acquired the car, it looks like a lot of widening of the chassis was required.

I remember seeing the white FHC at BBWF 2013 i believe ...It was a bit smokey when it was started up...But sounded like a right animal...

That's right, it's something that we have to look at as the fuel pump continues to pump fuel prior to start up.
We do happen to have some side draught dollortos that we may fit on in the future, busy at mo upgrading the brakes and suspension .

Darn you all. Mrs has a broken leg so not going very far at the moment. Might get a few miles in here and there as time allows.

Now that's hard core winter motoring :-)

[JumboBeef]

Cos I'm Ard!

Am I the only one out at the moment?

[KKson]

I would be but Wedge on rps awaiting urgent attention on starterotor. But a few family issues to sort which are the priority.

Been out for a short blast earlier just to blow the cobwebs off but unfortunately no pics.

Had to get the car out the garage to put the dining table top extension back in storage after the festive season.

Looks like we have a contender for December in the Wedge calendar 2016....(If i can shift the rest of this years...Sales being down is not good)

Great pics....Ziga

[JumboBeef]

Hi Ziga,

You're more than welcome to use it. It's only a phone camera photo so while the quality is not bad, it's not the best.

[JumboBeef]

Had to pop into work today, so which car to take.....?

(run out slightly spoiled by the clutch problem.....)

I needed to take some stuff to my friend. It's not raining, so Wedge-time it is!

Out of the garage:


By the road on my way there:


At my friends, next to her daily ride (Alfa Romeo 166 V6 Turbo, not the most usual car either):


Someone might say it's a bit chilly outside for driving a convertible, I say it's a matter of clothing:


The Northern Wedge season is officially open for 2015.
