237 mile round trip today in the wedge, hood down, blue skies and ice cold but oh so much fun.
Travelled down the M5, the M50 and over the Brecon Beacons, on into Cardiff city centre and back along M4 did not see any other TVR`s in the 4 1/2hrs I was on the road - where were you all?



On top of the Brecon Beacons lunchtine today.

Don't know about the others but I was slaving away at work so I can afford to keep my toy! Nice looking wedge. I had a 280i that was nowhere near that nice!!

A great memory of a great run.

I must organise a Wales wedge run just as soon as my baby is back together again.

Anybody up for it in the new year?.

Count me in. Must check if I am off first so post a date and I'll let you know.

Assuming this will be a weekend?

How is the 450 coming along Mike - is the idle problem sorted yet?
(or am I confusing your wedhe with someone else?)

Regarding a New Year Wedge Around Wales run how about either the weekend of 22nd Jan or 29th Jan?
I can make either Saturdays or Sundays on both those dates?

Have to go to work now but should have my Jan work laid out by the weekend. Look in again Sunday.

PS, overnight and do a Sat/Sun? or leave that for later? 2 day tour of some of Wales finest?
