So, is there enough interest in trying to arrnage a Wedge day at a rolling road ? hands please ...

Do we have any owners that live in the midlands that know a reputable rolling road we could approach ?

Would be interesting to see the sublime to the wicked on the rollers in a megga wedge dyno shootout.

We could make a day of it, find a nice place for an afternoon photoshoot.

Plan potential dates say end of August / September .. a saturday. Find a central UK location

Possibly, depends on leave etc (I have to book weekends as annualleave or there is no guarantee). Nice to see what its really doing.

I would be up for it if it wasn't too much of a trek.

Been meaning to get it done in the next month or so. Would be cool to get it done with a bunch of others.

Chance to see the big wedges

I may be up for this. I'd like to find out of the dyno plot I have is still a true relection of the output. I think it may have been touched by the Mark Adams and it would be could to confirm this too.

When you say 'central', you really mean the farthest reaches of the deepest South, don't you...

I do fancy it, but (insert any number of lame excuses concerning money, work, me Julie and fears for my fiscal sanity if it transpires I have the only 120 bhp 'big Wedge' in the world).
But keep egging me on, I may go for it

If it's in the midlands (sorry Ian ) i'm in .

During September after the summer hols rush sounds good to me.

And Ian I have a horrible feeling you wouldn't be the only 120 BHP wedge there!!

Got to get mine on the rollers in the next few weeks, for the MOT and Mania, I will be using Aldon Automotive in Brierly Hill, Arcturus should be familar with them im sure.

September would give me a chance to get my 350 sorted!(Not allowed to spend money on car at the mo as holiday comes 1st, by order of the management!!) Definitely up for it though.

Well, I'd like to have a go, although I fear with my little 280i I'd be severely embarassed (120BHP? More like 12BHP at the moment!)

Probably cost would be a factor too - if it's too expensive it would be diverting funds from the TVR funds sponge that is currently sitting in my garage!

Just bought 350, would like to know though what sort of bhp etc, I have before I start to look at upgrading/changing things. I know no other wedge owners so I think it would be great to meet other owners. (sounds like a good day out anyway you look at it)
