:bandit: May i salute all of you for your commitment and enthusiam for organising and putting on a great show. We (tvrcarparts) drove up from Devon in the pouring rain thinking that the weather would have a serious effect on turnout. Boy, were we wrong. Our first sign of[b] "wedge madness" [/b]was when we joined a convoy of wedges all with their roofs off, despite the stair rods of rain. [b]RESPECT!!!![/b] Thank you for the invite. We really enjoyed our day. See you next year, maybe in a wedge! zz

Did notice the Griff (ACT) and Chim in the convoy of 20 Wedges from High Wycombe were the only 2 with the roofs up !
Did they know something and not let on ?

Ah, but at the wrong speed, the rain runs along the top of the windows and curls off the trailing edge onto the back of your neck (or mine anyway ) - Streaky
