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.......

Looks and sounds like you all had a good time. Gutted I couldn't make it. There are some very smart Wedges there - I feel the need for an afternoon's polishing. Henley must have wondered what had hit it. Are there any buildings left standing this morning?

Alan, cheers for the photo - took photos of everyone elses and incredibly bypassed mine - a*se!..
Neil - re registration - too much.. and they're inseparable - unless 400 SE turns up
Richa/Janine - Look forward to those "professional" photos..
Andy - cheers - yet to scrutinise properly as literally picked it up and drove to the meeting but seems good so far..
Steve - finally got off HandyCross roundabout after half an hour

I'm working on the video.. it's not the best quality but it's a camera not a video camera !

Just need to get it hosted and compressed (80 meg !)

Yes - the route and pub were brilliant.

Who did the route in the end ?

Who actually went .. I've got a bad memory for names..
I think I can remember about 5 ..

Na, it was to show you what a proper car sounded like!

We HAVE to do this again, possibly slightly longer route and with less 306's. Believe me Rev, if I could have nailed him I would have.

They are at:-

Sorry, this doesn't seem to like having the @ in the middle of it

This doesn't seem to be a very good place to put the photos, but it will do while I find a better way!

Nice pics, really clear. Do you mind if I download the one of the back end of my car?

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!

Wonderful photographs; wish I'd been there (even though mine is tatty compared to those on show). Pity too that (IMO) black Wedges seem less photogenic than those in other colours - Streaky
