BACK in a WEDGE !!!

[restless*native]

Took Delivery of my new toy today.
A big thank you to Rob, I know how it feels to let them go.

Enjoy it mate, it is a cracking wedge that goes like stink and sounds like thunder. Been looking at the Chimaera and there is not much about. The red 390SE looks like it would be a bit of a ball ache to get sorted over here.

Looking for a nice Chimaera or a nice 390SE I think.

Rob, can't believe you sold it...but on to pastures new, I understand that craving...

Cracking car that!!

[pwd95]

didn't think you'd be able to actually let that thing go.

[marcus1875]

You sold it Rob!!!!
What about the BAR, the Rusty....

[carob]

68 days before the BAR...and a good while to the RNR....I will have another TVR in the stable before then...

The sale has just been about trying something different. Regardless of what I end up in the way the white beast went, I am going to struggle to match that I know.

I have always said I love all TVR so maybe now is time to try something new....

Hope you guys still talk to me, love it in here, great bunch.

What's your take on em Wynn, being a serial TVR owner ?

Rob

Well that all happened quietly lol

Congrats Restless, you'll love it more and more every day - welcome to Wedgedom

Rob, hope to see you in another TVR ASAP, good luck with your search

[pwd95]

Depends what you want from a sports car. The Chim /Griff alternatives can give you as little or as much as you want, depending how much you want to spend. They are, on avarage, 150kg or so lighter than a wedge so a good 400 Chim is going to feel quite strong.

They have better weight distribution out of the box, so installing a good set of coilovers & having it corner weighted is going to make it ... IMHO ... handle better than any Wedge.

You'll have to spend a lot of money on a Wedge to get it to handle like a standard Chim or Griff.

I may be qualified to help - have had numerous Wedges, Chims and Griffs.

Nothing sounds quite as good as a Wedge but generally much better handling and finish in the Chims and Griffs...

PS congrats on the sale Wyn.

I don't think a cooking 390 would do anything better than that 400, Rob.

I know it wont do anything like it Ian as I said I know I wont match the performance of the white beast, but the exclusivity of the 390SE does appeal for a tidy one.

Welcome back to you Mark and Good Luck to you Rob

Rob..you sold her?? Just as I come back to Wedges, you leave. What a shame.
Glad she has gone to another Wedge fan who will look after her. She was always one of my favourites!
I did try a Chimaera 450 but..I came back to the Wedge. I just felt more passion for our Wedges.
I look forward to seeing what you get next, and it would be great if you stuck around.

[Waynester]

Thought I'd post up this quite famous..or should I say 'infamous' picture when I had this Wedge. She's a cracker, enjoy!
