I am currently putting together a web site dedicated to TVR wedges - nothing else. Having photographed my 350i to death I need some interesting pics of some other owners cars, exteriors/interiors/engine bays or anything wedge related really. If you want to show off your pride and joy, please e-mail me the pics with some brief details. Mail to:- wedgewebmaster@yahoo.co.uk Thanks in advance Mike Mica Blue 350i Edited by mikeb on Tuesday 24th July 20:31

Hi guys, The website is still under development, but is looking good. The site will be exclusively wedge based and will hopefully feature:- wedge buyers guides, model history, maintenance tips, owners gallery pics, interesting articles, for sale and wanted ads etc. This is a major undertaking and any help you fellow wedge owners can give would be very much appreciated. I am looking for interesting wedge pics, interesting modification articles, upgrades etc. The site will available soon (no definate date set yet) and the URL will be:- www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk If you have anything to contribute, please contact me at:- wedgewebmaster@yahoo.co.uk Cheers Mike Mica Blue 350i

WOW Thanks guys for all the support - All of the above and more please!!!!. I am especially looking for articles with pics, everything from changing a ripped leather gearstick gaiter to a body off restoration of a 390 (thanks Richa). Seamus, It is sad that we have to play by ourselves! but I feel that unless you are driving about in a new(ish) Tiv, then many main (and smaller) dealers don't want to know, and I have the impression that in general, wedges are looked upon as the 'poor relations' in the big Tiv scheme of things - sometimes even by other newer Tiv owners! I have started this site with the firm intention of putting Blackpool's BEST back on the map!!. Hopefully, it will become a meeting place for like minded people to share wedge tips, experiances and information, but it is all down to people like us - the reader will make it what it can be. I was even thinking of starting a completely separate 'Wedge Club' - any thoughts... Thanks in advance Mike Bressington ps. if everything goes to plan I should have something online soon. Please stay with me. pps. Patrick - Thanks pics look great. Broadside - Thanks in advance. Jmorgan - I have a 56k modem, give the small ones a go and we will see how we get on. Richa - Yes please! Jolly Seamus - I think the (blue??) SEAC belongs to a Bristol TVRCC member and if so, hopefully he might be onboard already - I have yet to hear from him.

Thanks Seamus, Pics and a few words (or a complete 10,000 word article!) would be fantastic!!!. Putting together the wedge website is proving to be very time consuming, so any help is gratefully recieved. I am still giving the 'wedge club' some serious thought. Donington is a good example; 4 wedges turned up all parked all over the place. With a little organization we could have all parked together. (make great pics and a chance for a chat). With a little more organization (and numbers) I know a firm that will make stainless Wedge kick plates cheaper, with a little more organization we could arrange wedge only discounts on servicing, with a little more organization (and numbers) we could arrange some sort of cheaper wedge insurance and so on.... Just a thought. Mike Edited by mikeb on Monday 30th July 20:23

Hi guys, Thanks for all the pics thus far, the pics mainly seem to be from later wedge owners (400se and SEACs - where are all the 280i and 350i owners pics???. If you got any, please send them in. (Please don't let this put you off sending in pics if you do own a later wedge!! - I am interested in all pics!!) Cheers Mike Mica Blue 350i
