I've had my wedge less than a month. 2nd day I had it it rained hard, it steamed up, water was dripping in all over - thinking what have I bought here? It is in having the radiator fixed after losing 3 litres of coolant.

Does this matter - NO - the radiator is fixed, the roof is waterproofed and puts new cars to shame. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE, man, women or child, looks at the car as it cruises past.

Living 3 miles from work I've done over 1000 miles so far.

After just over a week of owning it I had someone flag me down trying to pretend they knew me to impress the girl he was with! Had a Tuscan follow me for 10 miles or so and stop and say hello:

Could I be happier with the wedge - NO!

I like the rollbar.

Having once flipped a convertible over - several times, I'm always conscious that my current car lacks one.

The first of my two Lotus Sevens, quite a few years ago.

- The one WITH the rollbar.

Somersaulted back end over front, several times.

Thanks to the rollbar (and seatbelt) I still have an intact skull.

Caramba!
The race project I've been looking at has a full 6 point roll cage. I've decided to take it easy in the roadcar.
