Dicky - after seeing this post .. I heard my post hit the mat .. what a great 'Wedge' article .. seems we are spoilt for choice this month - with Dave Porters 400SE in print too ..

Sounds like Mike B was pretty impressed

Oh - can I have your autograph

Congrats on the coverage Dicky - and well done to Mike for "sacrificing his time" to go to all the trouble of actually test driving such a beast.

PS Mike any update on the New Year Wedge Yer Way Round Wales idea?

Well done all, nice to have something, in-directly to do with it. Can't wait to go for a rip with you guys and put some faces to the names. I don't work weekends so I can go any time January except maybe 13th. My daughters birthday

Nice article. Just read it now.
It says that your missus uses the 350i; is that her daily runner then (and the other one in your profile pic)?
What a relationship you must have.
Cheers, Tony.

Jeff, that would be the litho inks not your postie after having his fish and chip lunch break.

I must say thank you to the TVRCC for putting their money where there mouth is and getting the articles in print, this month we are spoilt for choice for wedge reading - let's keep it going. Please feel free to put something together and send it to me. - Ask Dicky how it feels to see your car in print.....

I gotta admit that the design boys and girls do a fine job on the look of the Sprint mag it really makes the articles jump out from the page.

Judging by the time ours arrive, I was wondering. There is the UK's best chippie over the road. Nice job Mike.

Mike, did you receive the short article I sent to you a week or two back about replacing the bulkhead bush with a proper bearing?

Just received my copy today - excellent - having already worked my way through the ClassicCars article for the 10th time it was good to receive something new in print for the wedge.. I can remember seeing a shot of mine in a corner (tiny photo) and being chuffed - you must be over the moon Rich.. not sure about the use of red ones though - people will start to think they were only ever made in one colour
