I'd just like to say a BBWF thanks to everyone who had a hand in organising this years events. It's not until you start to talk to everyone that you realise just how many people have a hand in making this event the great success it is. I don't want to start listing names as I'll probably forget someone, but you all know who you are. Laura and myself had a brilliant time and a great laugh and I'd just like to thank all of you.

Apologies I didn't have the bottle to put my car down the drag strip but I didn't feel too confident after blowing the turbo hose off a couple of times and had a bit of rough running.

Fully agree.



Had brilliant time.

Drag racing was brill - never been to a meet before.

Nice to see the wedge & Ultima didn't disgrace themselves and had good runs.

Roll on 2007

Another brilliant Wedgefest, and now home safe, though looking a little like a sun-dried tomato.

My son enjoyed it too, especially the live band and the (hilarious) tug-o-war.
I only wish that lovely pub was my local.

It was great to meet everyone again, some new faces, and some familiar from last year.

Thanks to all who organised the BBWF, and the weather to go with it.

We went down to the dragracing and did cheer you and your dad on, Mattman.

Got back all safe and sound. Jaw is aching again after a two hour big grin

Well done and thank you to all those involved in the organisation of BBWF and the fantastic BBQ arranged by The White Horse. I now don't need to eat again for a month. That's value for money! I thought that it was a great idea to offer the surplus buffet to the locals after we couldn't consume any more, maybe some could have gone Back Home as well LOL.

A particular highlight for me was talking to Chris of Centre Gravity about suspension geometry and the adjustment thereof. Having seen him at work I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone requiring these services. My guess is that every Wedge would benefit from this essential fettling.. and before you ask, No I am not in any way connected with them I was just genuinely impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and open conversation. I've filed your card for future use Chris (If you read this)

Rog I think I pulled a muscle laughing at your A+ effort of the cake! Tallbloke=Topbloke.

I'm a bit fried fragged and f after a weekend having fun and making new friends. It's an early night tonight for me and I'll be dreaming of BBW Fests to come...
The countdown begins... again!

Hello thogether,

when I read your messages, I´m sure, the BBWF must have been a great event. Now I repent that I didn´t have courage to come. But next year, that is sure, I will come. I agreed it with my wife, told her what I read in the forum about BBWF, now she want´s to come with me. Is the date of the 2007 BBWF fixed? If it is, can anybody tell it?

Wish you a nice after-BBWF-sunday-night

Greetings from Germany

Udo

Udo mate you missed a blinder! Best one yet. You must hook up with the Dutch and come over with them next time.

One thing though you MUST do the Friday as well. For me it was hard to tell if I enjoyed the Friday or the Saturday better they were both that good. Mind you I did go through three big ASDA boxes of Stella.

Stonking event! Really enjoyed the whole thing, VERY well organised and run. Just getting the badges on my car changed... will now say "TVR Spyder..."!!

Had a great time at the drag racing as well, very hot day but a great rack. Matt-man drove the Ultima as well.... and it still works! Result !

Thanks again, looking forward to the next one!

just to add great windscreen service, although it is now covered in flies after the back home event and a spirited and fun drive back with the westmids group.

Me too also and the boss would like to add thanks to all that organised and sorted and all the other things that went into great day. Pity I couldn't make the run up the track but hey ho, another day.

Aye, and I'd like to thank Steve Evans (and Laura) for force-feeding me toast and honey to ward off the industrial-strength headache I woke up with

Also apologies to all those who I failed to recognise even though I'd been talking to them a few minutes earlier. I'm beginning to think I have some brain trouble in that department as it's getting quite common...sorry.

Can't think how or why you got that headache Ian... Didn't have anything to do with our pub session which lasted until 2AM did it...?

You are forgiven Wedg1e.

Thank you's as above with an extra mention to Gandalf and Mr&Mrs GSX for providing a superb focal point for the whole event, not to mention tea and biscuits, rubish removal and a curry!

Further thanks to Kirk and Ali for a Rockin' BBQ. What an absoloutley suberb night. First class. A++ etc.

The only regret was that Elaine and Laura didn't hide the Dutch's clothes. Maybe next time.

Darren! Start the countdown for BBWF 2007 please.

Wee man.
