Wanted to bring this back to the top.

Is it still a go-er, is anyone coming?

What if the weather's shite?

I'm up for it and can help with destructions if anyone needs help to find the meet.

Steve

Seamus are you on the road yet?

So far; so good. Count me in. Is the meeting place anywhere near the John Lewis store??


Indeed within spitting distance!!

It's very easy to find, I will post some foolproof instructions shortly.

OK for those unfamiliar with the area here's how to get to the meet.

Exit the M40 @ junction 4
On the big big roundabout take the exit so that you have the Holiday INN on your left (towards Aylesbury I believe) This is the next exit after M40 North
Come to mini roundabout - take first exit i.e.left, go past Cinema & Franky and Benny's (?) on your left. Continue down the hill 100yards & take first right into car park. Meet on the lowest level i.e. the first you come to as the top end nearest the cinema gets busy. We will be easy to spot. I aim to be there from 10.30.

If anyone wants my mobile in case of lateness or lost, please mail me.

Looking forward to meeting you all!!

Weather's looking promising (cold but dry and sunny)


Not sure how many're coming, but be good to put some faces to names. 11am prompt, anyone bringing a camcorder and someone to hold it? Someone who hasn't gone completely to jelly like the Toyota driver in MacNuds video!!!!

Nice one Streaky, the hail caught me too, clean but unpolished, oh well!

Weather says "0% chance of rain" Yeah, yeah, yeah!

See you all later

I'm still up here, that was the best TVR experience in my (admittedly short) wedge career so far, we must do it again soon, I need another fix!!

Great meeting you all, great route, well handled Gav (but you could have run the 306 off the road) Henley WAS A SHOWSTOPPER!!!

Sorry to hear about the various woes, hope they're all sorted soon. Sean you still going round handycross??

Great photo's too, any more??, video Rev??

Roll on the Big Bad Wedge Fest

Well, I did make it, but due to a minor error, took J3 off M40 instead J4. I arrived about 1125. You were all gone, to eager to make lots of noise? Anyway thanks to georgeC in his Chimera I had a worth while trip and chat over coffee in the TGI. next time will have the map and directions in the car, open at the right page. Next time.......


Sorry Derek you must have only missed us by about 5 mins. Glad you had some enjoyment though! There will be a next time!!

Rich, excellent photo's, very creative too, the lighting was really good wasn't it. The beauty of your white 390 is that none of the detail gets lost in the shadows - it's all there!! Can't wait to see the rest!

FF, no multi rev-up in the car park, to be honest the place was deserted. But Henley High Street, now that's a different matter!

Great vid Rev well done for taking and getting it hosted.

Makes me think we should get this done properly (no offence Rev, I know it was just a still camera) for the BBW fest. I suggested this to Neil H but don't know if it's gone any farther yet. Have in mind everyone contributes a few quid and we hire someone professional for the day, who will then produce a finished product that we can buy and keep and play and play and then play some more. Y'know a wedding type blokey or girlie!!

More excellent pics Rich and Janine, thanks for posting them up.

I hear there's a job of official BBWF photographer up for grabs, you should apply.

I'll definately be bringing my equipement to the fest, let's just hope for another clear sunny day.

Catch up soon at an April meet??
