Was listening to Chris Evans this morning whilst he was reading out various names and cars then he mentioned Wayne Hodges had started his 350i wedge up at 3 am to go to work harping on about noise and the neighbours and an echo chamber on wheels, dunno what he means!laughlaughlaugh

It's also "National Drive it day" on I think Easter Sunday 21st (normally closest Sunday to St George's Day which is the 23rd) I'll be over in Normandy enjoying the wedge.

Didn't have time to get the TVR out tonight, and friday night traffic is not ideal TVR driving conditions?

Hope some of you made it out.

Well North Herefordshire/South Shropshire really made a sterling effort - apart from my Wedge not seen another bloody classic car all day. Maybe the smoke pouring out of my front OS brake caliper frightened everyone off? The joys of TVR ownership.

Intended to take the yellow peril from Cannock to Work in West Brom today after hearing Mr Evans on the radio. However ther where two minor problems.

1. It was pi##img it down in Cannock at 07:30

2. TVR 32 X is on axle stands having a it of a fettle.

But I did at least tax it in readiness.frown

But after all didn't feel that bad. Never saw another classic of any flavour all day.

Nursy reported hearing that, I thought it might have been Waynester but he's not called Hodges...

I did manage to get the mongrel out for an hour between jobs to collect the wifey from work and take the long way home, my lad drove his mini to work, Delilah has been suffering from a broken exhaust joint on one of the manifolds.

Nope, not me.. but if it were, and I knew Chris Evans was within (v early morning) earshot...I would give him an extra special 'broadside of seac throttle' to start his day in the right way. wink

Hi mate...Are you saying that the actual manifold has come apart, They were brand new stainless steel from ACT and are probably still under warranty...Ziga
