Perfect wedge weather...

[mrzigazaga]

Well what a turn out on the ole weather dept..Glorious..In fact it was so warm today that because of heavy traffic round pooey south east london i had to come back home....Especially with hot air coming out of my fan ducting..The cable snapped ages ago on the vent control and it snapped while it was open..I waited for the sun to move round the back and i gave it its first T-cut since ive had it..Phew!!..I should never of given away my plug in polishing machine...I was sweating buckets..still i need to shed a few kilos..It could do with another polish but its miles better and some of the misty stains have nearly gone that were on the bonnet and light pod..Cheers..Ziga

Managed to get out for an hour about lunchtime to give the wedge a blast!! Need to make the most of this few days as not really had much chance to use it this year!! Played up the chavs in their blinged up euroboxes!! Happy days!!

That's the trouble with reds, they go off as soon as your back is turned. I gave up T-cutting my Tasmin and had it resprayed instead!

No what you mean mate..I went out there today expecting to see a lush looking car but it had to have a re-buff all over again..Still it looks clean..I also put on a modified main air trunking as my old one has started to crack in places so ill keep it as a spare if needed..I also over ordered two couplings if anyone needs any..They are 70mm ID X 76mm long, A lady godiva plus postage if so..What super weather..Ziga

Ziga, your car is looking realy good under there, it a credit to the hard work and patience you have put into the car
So i gess the next focus is on the inside after the bushes and geo are done.
Its good to see and hear the car is going in the right direction for you pal

Thanks mate..Im glad im sticking with it..I have measured up a new plate to house the new switches and stereo and have booked in for the carpet to be done in december..Im having a darkish red with black overmats with red piping as the red with black fleck i wanted is no good for cars..(Sample below)..Ive been quoted £300..I will be having black leather on the centre console with red inserts and red stitching..red door cards with black arm rests with red stiching..I will be picking up a spare set of seats if hallsie still has them and then i will be sending mine off to be done in black leather with red piping and red stitching..Although i might have to wait until next year for them..The door cards are £110 each but thats the whole door and he will do the centre console in with the price..Im debating taking out the dash but may do that when the seats get done..I have a new veener..(Cheers Hotty)..For the centre console..The hood will be done by someone else as this fellow has never done a TVR hood and said it might leak so he has recommended someone else to do it..It should look the dogs once its done..Next year it will be chassis treatment..Hood and paint..Then the V6 3.8 supercharged holden is going in..Along with 4-pot calipers and bigger discs..Probably a power prop and bigger half shafts as well....Cheers..Ziga

You folk from Englandshire are very lucky with the weather at the moment we've still warm but cloudy and some rain in between so take advantage of the weather now and keep driving your Wedges lads.

Phew!!..It is too bloomin hot.. I went out this morning and after about 1/2 hours worth of driving i noticed the seat felt a bit squidgy and then when i looked down i was sitting in a puddle of sweat.......Or it might of been caused by driving through a top totty area near to where i live..The ole currant bun really brings out some lovely scented flowers..Yummy..

This is the best driving weather of all year...

took out the chim yesturday so its the wedges turn today going to end up near cromer

[JMF894]

Had the kids all weekend as the missus has had a weekend away with the girls so no wedge action for me!

To top it all off the alternator clutch seized on her vRS so the RAC had to come out......................twice............as the intercooler pipe, which was removed to fix the alternator wasn't put back on properly

So 7 hours later she got home ( from SW London )

Was itching to get out today too......
