Pulled into Sainsbury,s car park this morning after a 30 mile blast to use cash point when i hear a young female voice saying......look at that car mom pity the drivers not young..........mom replies.......i think he suits the car?.....didn,t Know what to think of this comment. But this got me to thinking who would be the youngest and oldest wedgers on here does being born in 1952 give me the edge?

You're a mere whipper-snapper. I was born in 1946, but I'm sure I'm not the oldest Wedger.

When I got my first Tasmin I met a guy from Newcastle (Bob Noble) who IIRC was 67 at the time. If he's still around and still driving, he'll be 76...

Good one Jeff.

Me and the missus went for a blat the other night. After about an three hours hooning about the place we pulled into the drive and turned the engine off......

We both looked at each other and both said 'Aaaaa that's better'. Sometimes the constant physical / mental / aural battering that the 450 gives your senses can be tooo much.....then other times not!

Just after I bought the SEAC i took the missus for a spin on a Sunday evening. Went to Llangdedfydd Reservoir a local "lovers car park". She thought it was so romantic as the sun was just setting. As I stretched over to the passenger side,She was gutted when all I did was pop the bonnet up!!! and get out to adjust the idle speed

Would certainly be an achievement if you can do it in a Wedge. On or over more like.

Right, understand this, it wasn't me who told me this if that makes sense but I have been told the bonnet is the only option without being double jointed and then you fall off. Apparantly. Look, it wasn't me.

Did, whoever it was that told you this, try it with the headlight pods up or down?
Might make all the difference, having something to tie (his/her)ankles too, dont ya think?

I've heard it's been tried - say no more. Passenger seat slid forwards and the back folded down as far as possible. Lady on the seat nether reagions at the seat leading edge, chap kneeling (Ish - 1/2 kneel/1/2 lean forward, Ladies legs over the shoulder routine.
Result - lady gets crick in neck and chap gets pains in knees, arms, etc - Result - hilarity at what's being attempted and and aborted session! Next step was on the bonnet which worked.
Like I say - so I've heard from a chap who was 27 at the time!!
