How about a Wedge photo meet. A suitable location and Mike (Wedge Pages) bring your cam?

Thinking along the lines of a club event or simular. A recent thread on a meet seemed to be a no go and a meet in a field a bit dull. Trying to peeps attention to make an exatra special effort to get there. PH meet at Chatsworth? I need advanced warning to book time off, so assume there are others in the same boat, working practice with me means weekends are normal working days. Whats at Duxford and when?

Missed that one. Must learn to read sprint instead of looking at the pics. Booking more leave.

I was just after teasing a few more wedges out of hiding and out to an already organised event. Chatsworth (check calender on PH)sounds good, so does Duxford, so booking leave for both.
A recent question (can't remember the thread) was asking about wedge numbers. It seems we might be a shrinking breed, so get a good few of the best sounding TVR's together. first to last made etc.

Penninsular have done a lot of work/mods on mine (not under my ownership), and all of it very good (just a comment Ted not a name and shame )
One of the reasons I bought it. First one looked at as well although nearly went for a 450 but HPI threw some doubt on it, might have got complicated. Still after what I spent one the car and the engine rebuild could have gone for an early Griff but something about big bad wedges kept my attention. Lust after a SEAC, just look a Nacnuds.
PS there are a load of S Wales members going to Castle Coombe tomorrow, meeting a Magor services 9:30-10:00

Jeff - great idea

If the South West is a suitable location then I can ressurect something I had already planned, but they now want to go to a concourse event! It was simply the best roads in North Devon, a decent country pub and a spectacular cream tea - plus loads of good photo opportunities. I know this area really well and it has top possibilities.

I know it's not very central and I would be happy to travel the other way - just a thought though.....


Like to see some of them drives, work permitting. What roads?

Work permitting, went to the last one last year. Nice day out and good racing. Trucks were an eye opener too!

I might have added I have a spare seat. Wife working, she's not amused, loves this sort of thing.
PS At DJE the other day but forgot the camera. But the box definatly exits up and to the left and over the drive shaft. As I understand it though that point is more likely to corrode sooner due to the gasses hitting the corner and speeding things up.
