Am I glad I took the wedge....

[seamus]

Was going to retrieve the company hack to collect a part from Cambridge area (company fuel), but as I was running late decided to go in the wedge for a proper road test following the work completed... 200+ miles later even with the 4 fuel stops it was well worth it.. Hatfield tunnel was a pleasant surprise! Got to know the car again properly.. Peninsula seem to have done a very good job this time.. even fixed my floppy gear knob (didn't ask them to either) only saw one other TVR though (Tuscan).. obviously everyone else was working

Glad this turned out to be a good news story Sean, was a bit worried for a moment it ending on the back of a low loader back to Exeter

for Peninsula at last!

Does this mean your hunt (and detective work for me) for a new wooden gear knob has come to a premature end??

[seamus]

Cheers Steve - thankfully no lowloader required

Funnily enough I did manage to track one down on ebay - the one which is no longer made by Momo - brand new/boxed.. should get it within the next week.. you can have a look and decide if it is right for your car - it's not quite the same design as the one on the 400 from the pictures but near enough...

Nice when that happens. Also had a tunnel to day down Cardiff bay.

Didn't think twice over that number of stops until you mentioned it. Normal 'innit?
