Hi, joined Pistonheads today after buying my first TVR yesterday.

I have had a good read of some of the forums but can anyone tell me of any meets near to me in Essex please ?

Is there an Essex local club or would it be ok to join in the fun in Sevenoaks or is that not the done thing ?

Any help would be great.

Cheers
Don't know much about Essex I'm afraid but, hello, good evening and welcome.

And get your name down for BBWF 2008.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Sods law - first weekend with the car, a long weekend even and the weather turns. Surrey sounds like a good shout Matt-man - will look out for more info on that. Already have my name down for BBWF08 WeeMan - That is a must.

I toyed with the idea of getting a curvy number but remember seeing my first wedge in the 80s and then borrowing a 350i for a day off my boss in 1992. I smiled for weeks afterwards. So although not to everyones taste, 15 years later, I have a wedge ( and as you can tell I aint sleeping much, its 5:40am )

No doubt the sleepless nights will change from excitement to maintenance worries but hey who said ownership was going to be a breeze.
How about a few pics of the beast , brightens up a miserable easter weekend !

BcensoredKS!! My friend has just been cleaning out her Peugot 406 (which she was going to part exchange) and was coming up from Cornwall with a wad of money to buy this car!! Dealer could have let her know it had gone!

So..........................

Does anyone know of a good wedge for sale £4,000-£7,000? 350i or bigger.

She is VERY disappointed!

[quote=Taz90]A few years ago I drove a Wedge very much like yours with similar wheels in Hadleigh/Raleigh just off the A127 towards Southend - the guy had 4 or 5 wedges and a Lotus in a large workshop at the bottom of his garden. Anyone know this Wedge pilot ?

Evening Pete - welcome to the Wedge Madhouse! I'm another Essex-wedger and there are a number of meets worth getting along to. 1)Mid-Essex TVRCC meet second sunday of every month at the Forresters Arms in Gt Totham (near Maldon - great roads). Now Emma is selling her fab 400 (BadRed's old motor), I think I'm the only 400 in the gang! 2)The Essex Piston-Headers meet on the second thurs of every month at the Lodge in South Woodham Ferrers from around 7pm onwards - a really friendly bunch of people with some lovely cars on show when the weather is good (Tivs,Ferraris, the odd Lambo, Ultima etc). Hope to catch up with you soon once the weather bucks up. Jamie
