Good luck with the new motor cock.

Having met you at the fest, i found you to be enthusiastic and excited about owning a wedge whatever the model......qualies for wedge ownership.

Enjoy

That interior us the 2nd best I have ever seen on a wedge its gorgeous. Only carobs 1st wedge was better. Nice car gog.

May all your miles be loud ones.

Aye, looks nice, good luck with it (but watch out for rear-end breakaway in the wet).

[PHJayV8]

Very nice car, love the colour

Good to see the wait is over.Looked at that car at the fest and looked really good and come from a good home so buying with confidence. Hope you have better luck with this one than the last!

Popped out to go to the bank this morning, went in lidl to get something for my lunch and bought a fire extinguisher! You cant say I havent learnt from my experience

Just sat now waiting for it to arrive, I have already changed my mind and will be going to tax it as soon as I have the logbook in my hands. Just too excited to leave it until next week.

I am going to be very, very careful with this car until I get used to the power and the LSD, I really dont want to bin it.

Thanks for all the good wishes and compliments on the car, I thought it was way too good for me to be able to afford it so I was surprised at what Mr Tank was willing to let it go to me for. I was heartbroken to lose the last one but with the nice payout from the insurers it meant I could buy what I originally wanted in a wedge.

Its here, on the drive

See you in a bit, I am off to get some tax.

You are not wrong, that green/cream interior in Carob's car made it particularly special, remember it well.


Congrats, the car does look great, maybe a wooden Steering wheel, I have seen a number of the colour coded wheels of late. Enjoy fella

I'm not convinced by the leather rim, I do think a nice wooden rim would look lovely.
The leather is a bit grubby so I am going to give it a good clean, and I think I am going to buy some renovo for the hood, the plastic is a bit cloudy and the cloth bits a bit on the grubby side.
I also need to give the oil pressure sender and gauge a look (it goes off the scale as soon as the ignition goes on) and the fuel gauge is worse than useless, as u will have seen it caused me a breakdown earlier by reading 2/4 when i was on fumes!


I love this car already, I did about 40 miles in it this afternoon and got a "nice car" from a group of kids, some polish(i think) guy wound his window down at the lights, and talked to me about the car, he knew it was a tvr and loved it when I gave it a big blip on the throttle and I have been grinning like a cheshire cat every time I either accelerated or backed off the throttle and got the chorus of pops and bangs from the exhaust.
