What a day
Meeting Uglymug on the A465
Meeting everyone at Abergavenny
Getting split up by Cheltenham
Wishing I had a shot of "the big dipper" on the Fosse Way full of Wedges giving it the beans.
Arriving a Ettington
Seeing all the cars
Meeting everyone
Having a run out in Lee's 450 350
Hoping Jeff fixed the car
Saying hello to as many people as I could
Having a good chat with SilverbackMike
Forgetting to ask SilverbackMike to take me for a rip
Meeting up with the "Chicken Run Gang"
Seeing Gandalf's "Fighter" in the flesh
The Ultima.... (had to be said) (sorry I didn't meet up with you Matt man & Dad)
Seeing the "We like machenes" crew
Taking Mark for a rip
etc...etc...etc.. another 10 hours would have covered it I think

Briliant ...... just brilliant.

Ditto - cracking day.
My only downfall was not wearing suncream - The colour of my very burnt neck now matches the wedge

Great to meet all who went yesterday and share wedge stories and stuff, not to mention some Very nice looking / sounding wedges

A very good (hot) day indeed..even though we had to leave early..(kids eh )

Some stunning wedges, the standard goes up every year..
Well done to all the organisers..

Good to see everyone again: Dave(DP400), pls stop polishing your car..give everyone else a chance
Steve(r..Mr Ego) Good to see you and the 'mean green wedge' again, also Kate was a bit miffed at not having the opportunity to chin wag with Linda.
Seamus: Nice car...maybe the wedge next year, without the wobbles..
Rev: Top effort as usual..decent pace with the convoy too.
Roger(tallbloke): Did you really have a crash?? Or was that your, uh hum..weekend outfit
Mark: Good to meet you, keep +ve mate, that BBW is just around the corner for you. Look forward to seeing some of the piccy's taken.

What was the 'exhaust-loudness' result? Mine measured at 120.7 db. And then we left sadly.


Off to a car show again today. Pre 50's Americana at Knebworth - do you think they'll let a Wedge in?

Please, can we not talk about the Zorst competition...! Agreed, another fab day - nice to put faces to Pistonhead handles. Thanks to all those that helped organise the event and hope everybody gets back safely. Jamie

Well a big thanks to all of you who made the effort to come along from myself and the team we all had the best time ever

Great to meet so many friends, old a new, yet again, as always the cars were the stars but the people make the event and this year was better than ever.

I trust everyone had a safe and uneventful run home and hope next year will be as well attended cheers to one and all

Ill agree with what everyone has said on all of the BBWF forums!

Just got home, uneventful completly! Good old wedge!

Went drag racing today with the wedge, and or course the ultima!

Dad managed to get 12.5 seconds (my attempt wasnt so good as i went from 2nd to 5th) but got 12.7 in the ultima!

The 400se was the ONLY wedge on the strip! Not even a common sight when there are 100 othher wedges in the area so shortly before!!

Got 14.5 seconds quarter mile which was respectable!

BRING ON BBWF 2007!!

PS...anyone got any photos/vids of me on the drag strip? Tallbloke said he had some goodies so looking forward to seeing them!

Yeah thanks to Rog and Alan and all the other people organising, helping and directing the parking. Truly a great day out, and the BBQ was fantastic value, only a tenner and I had thirds!

The only slight downer was some iffy house wine at the pub for the girls, so we got a bottle from the wine list, which was not only much better but cheaper per glass! Top tip to remember for next year.

It was great meeting up with you all again. See you all again next year.

Forgot to add - who tw*tted that Badger on the Saturday run-out?

Let me ad my kudos to all who worked so hard to put together the BBWF 3. I thoroughly enjoyed myself amongst the plethora of wedges. It was great to meet so many of you and the weekend just reinforced my need to get another wedge, and in the near future.
A great day on Saturday before I headed up to Back Home in Blackpool which, in addition to BBWF, was getting close to a TVR overdose for this particular TVR fanatic.
Thanks everyone for making it a great visit.

Allegedly the SEAC only registered 108 dB.. ( I was only revving to 5000 - well it is still offically up for sale and it had to get us back to deepest Essex- they are the excuses + i'm sticking with them!!)

Well it could have caused quite a bit of damage in someone's air scoop. I had a pheasant in mine once and that got as far as the radiator.

At least no-one picked it up and put it on the BBQ (I hope...)

I took Tallbloke for the run-out who also spotted the roadkill.
I'm suprised the dead thing was not bagged and taken to the BBQ?
Mmmmm wonder what badger tastes like...??? Chicken?
