Wedge personality 2017

[mrzigazaga]

Hi to all fellow Wedgers

With only 4 months to go until the biggest baddest celebration of 70 years of TVR at this years Wedgefest its time to put on your thinking caps ..... all.com

Obviously you are all personalities and all offer a variety of spices to the Wedge fraternity.

Ideally a Wedge personality is a fellow Wedger who stands out in many ways, Sometimes they just plod along in the background...(Unlike me...)

So if you feel that there is someone you would like to nominate then please post up and if possible give a reason why.


Thank you for participating in what will hopefully be just a bit of fun..Its a wonderful feeling to be appreciated by others .....

Much love

I'd like to nominate Paul King, mainly for all the crap he has to keep fixing for you Zig, and also for being a top chap, who, if you cut him would bleed 20/50 with a high ZDDP content...

I second, or is it third Paul for the obvious reason.

Thanks Keith....Seconded is right as my vote doesn't count...Plus he's a friend and I would be biased..

[mrzigazaga]

Maybe its best once we have a few nominees to vote via email so that its a surprise like it always was...

So far we have:

Paul King aka PK500

I'd like to nominate Gary Judd aka billynobrakes. Serial TVR owner who has finally found the joys of Wedgedom! Took on a pretty sorry car, but with a solid chassis and set about making her the best she could be, irrespective of cost. Took her on a track and drove her to France mid-Winter, in-between the work being done. Luckily for me, another opportunity arose and I got "Priscilla" having had all the mechanical bits sorted, with mostly just cosmetic bits left to do. He now has the "Gredge" and is setting about it with the same gusto and enthusiasm. Well and truly bitten by the Wedge-bug!

I would like to nominate our newest joiner here.

She's such a laff and always up for a bit of bants, mainly giving rather than receiving, mind.

If you haven't guessed yet, I hereby nominate

Penelope!!!

(All very ;^) or course.)

Just read this and got to agree about being a serial TVR owner but just love them, always wanted one and Paul 7 can vouch for that but didn't think I would have two in six months but loved doing up Priscilla and glad Rick has bought her and going to finish her off but could not resist the Gredge

Anymore for the vote please.....

Just a thought...The current Wedge personality award has a solid stainless steel base which is very heavy and cannot be inscribed with previous winners of this prestigious award, so....Im thinking of maybe having a solid block of English burr walnut turned and then having a brass plate that can be inscribed each year.

If this sounds like a good idea or you have any suggestions then please let me know.


Thanks

Sounds good to me because at the moment I need some stainless steel for bolts for the OZ wheels on the Gredge and Burr Walnut for the dash so if you have any left over give me a shout in fact if you need measurements I am you man
