I'm moving house, going from East Scotland (Fife) to Somerset, near Taunton.

Tomorrow I'm driving my red Wedge (400) from here to family in Solihull (West Mids). A90/A9/M80/M73/M74/A74(M)/M6/M42. I'm leaving it there and then doing the second half of the drive (Solihull to Somerset, M42/M5) a week tomorrow.

370 miles tomorrow and 140 miles in a weeks time. If you see me, give me a wave/toot!

(I'm going to have the roof up. Oh the shame, but the boot is full of stuff so no space for the roof panel...)

Just an advanced welcome to Somerset.

I'm in Taunton, be good to see a Wedge running round the area.

If you want any good road tips, other local info etc, just holler.

Is it staying at yours then Glen. Another Solihull TVR, even if only for a week.

Hi Marcus, really appreciated your help that day. You need to come on a road trip yourself and come and visit.

No, it'll be staying a few miles away at my parents.

Unless Glen wants it: I could find him a few things do on it..... wink

First part of the journey completed. Apart from missing cruise control it was just as relaxed and enjoyable as driving my "normal" car.
