Dark blue wedge, pos 350i, spotted yesterday morning in Barnet. Put a huge smile on my face as I walked to the staition .

Thinking about it that's the 5th wedge I've seen on the road in the last 18 months. Others were a dark blue 400SE with roll bar in Bristol, a maroon 400SE in Hemel Hempstead, a dark coloured blur heading down the M3 and most recently a red 350i sat on someones drive in Essex (not too far from Maldon). Great to see these cars on the road, but maybe I shouldn't admit to seeing so many in a fairly short space of time or people will start to think their common! .

But you are just down the road from one of the biggest TVR dealers. So maybe not that common, just lots going to and from the TVR centre.

Depending on when and where on the M3, that might have been me - Streaky

The wedge I saw on the M3 was over a year ago.

Unfortunately I only ever seem to see other wedges when I'm in the wife's Focus, so tend to keep a low profile. Will suggest the flashing though!

I should have said in my original post that the only time I ever remember seeing a wedge on the road before I got mine was around 10 years ago just outside of Winchester. Pretty rare after all then!

I was on the M3 last year chasing a BMW M5 near Feltham, I think he got a little miffed because the faster he went I did to until he pulled over and let me by!!
