Hi all thought i'd just see how people have been getting on with their wedges in preperation for next weekend.

Filled the 450 up with juice this morning at almost 60 sheets rolleyes and checked all the tyre pressures.

Next week i will try, finally, to do the gearbox mounts and also replace some of the fuel pipes.

Then, hopefully a very pleasant, and dry drive up the Chesterfield chez Broski.

My Beast has been in the garage for the last 2 weeks

Just waiting for the new Silicon Induction Hose from ACT

MOT passed with all new poly bushes, 2 new tyres and other work as well

Will look the same from the outside but apparently running a lot better already
with new oil pump gears and fresh oil

Ready to lead down approx 30 TVRs from West Yorkshire

Look forward to seeing all the Wedgers

See you there
Trickie

Jimbo, Are you going on the run on Saturday?

If so that makes at least 3 white wedges...

Did the gearbox mounts this evening at last!

Pain in the rear i can tell you!

Definate improvement though, the gearlever doesn't move around half as much.

Happy day!

Not wishing to pour cold water on events but I reckon that grass area in front of Chatsworth is by now sodden and with 300 plus tvr's decending on it on sunday it could turn into a very messy situation !

Youv'e quessed correctly message from staffs Shrops RO earlier today
Hi folks,
slight change of plan for the parking at Chatsworth, we have now being given a hard standing car park area due to the normal field being waterlogged. The only problem with this is the area will only be held until 1100 after that any spare space will have to be given up to public parking. So you'll have to park with the masses, if your making your own way there it would be advisable to arrive before 1100. Those coming on the run to Chatsworth will be okay as we shall be getting in about 1015 - 30.
Hope to see you all there,
Steve.


See you there
