Edited to say : It's probably in Holland..
Haven't seen a blue SEAC in Holland yet! A 390se yes....
So thinking about it, what will be next? UK-wedgers emigrating to Holland to enjoy real wedgedom? I still rather move to the UK, but being Dutch and living in Belgium, probably am not a 'standard' Dutchman.
No hint to you Dan, but hopefully you find soon what you like.

He he, was just reading your post thinking that the emigrating thing may actually be a reality in the coming months. I know we have some good twisty roads here that are perfect for Wedging, but the reality is quite often very different to the dream. There is ALWAYS someone in front of you going 25mph in a 60mph zone, and even with a large engine, the twisty nature of the roads combined with the many hills/dips normally makes overtaking impossible due to poor visability. You soon find long trails of cars all following the offending "slowster", so even when overtaking oportunities do come up, the half asleep people in front of you never seem to take them.
Then you get the people who drive 42mph everywhere. There must be something about that speed since so many people drive at it. Pretty much everytime you drive down non dual-carriageway roads, you will get stuck behind someone doing 42mph. The only times its any different is in very rural parts of the country or on a very early Sunday morning etc. I'm not one of those "fast" drivers who has to do 100mph everywhere, but it makes my blood boil when someone sits in a 60 zone at anything less than 50 when the road ahead is completely clear and straight. And of course, the govenments constant plans to keep us in a state of fear doesn't make for good driving either. When the pay-per-mile thing arrives, the back roads will probably be chocka!
Holland is great for driving for this reason, even though you seem to have lower limits in some areas. The long sections of flat straight roads always means you can overtake safely and quickly, even when you're not in a rush. Ok, the scenery isn't up to British standards and almost looks bland, but the frustration is a lot, lot less. And then of course, you can always do a few track days each year to release the need for ultimate speed, and the occasional tunnel run of course! Its even not such a bad experience using public transport over there too, and I've never had problems with the trains. 2 each hour from EVERY town in Holland. You can use the trains during the week and save the petrol money for the weekend.
He he, could my car be the first Wedge to go abroad WITH its owner?
Dan.
