Andy,

I can only imagine how you must have felt driving a wedge again especially considering your massive collection of fantastic tvr's just waiting to be driven. I still get a buzz when I get in my 390 and turn the key so for you it must have been an emotional moment. Congrats and I hope your recovery continues.

What event are you going to this weekend by the way ?


Hi Ian

The event is the three day Rushden Historic Vehicle Cavalcade, held in Rushden Northants.
Just off the A6 north of Bedford.
With vehicles of all types and ages come to be shown plus a old time country fair!
The biggest structual put up is a huge marque for the the beer tent!
It's a great event which I have been going to on and off for some 26 years years.
Normaly they would not eccept our vehicles as we are to new!
But I have built up a relationship over the years so they allow TVRs of any age in!

If anybody wants to come for a day please get in contact so I can arrange free entry for you and your TVR's which can park on/beside my Stand. The plans are for 12 of my car collection plus my display engine to be on the stand with a further other four or five TVRs and two Tridents with my car will make the biggest collection of them this year anyware!

Can I call you on the day of the event if I decide to come up in my new Wedge? only I am still not sure if I can make it or even which day. I would like to come over if I get the chance but I can't say for sure.

Hi Tony or anybody who want to come especially as its going to be great weather over the weekend, if you ring before you get near to the site I will get one of my friends to be outside with a pass. They will be easy to see as they will have burgundy coloured shirt with TVR on the chest!
