Hi Peeps

Well time certainly does fly, my love affair with the Wedge is still strong..I cant see me wanting any other classic...unless I win the Euro...then it would be a D-Type..smile

I kind of miss the PH days of past years...there were highs and lows as in life itself..but I hope you are all well...I think the amount of posts against my name still outweigh the time I have been on here....laugh

Oh well...peace and love...Viva la Wedge...

Only other classic I would have is a SEAC, much to the disappointment of my 16 year old son! The double garage is already full with two Wedges so unless I bite the bullet and sell one to make room, it's not going to happen in the near future.

Had my 350i for over 5 years now - doesn't time fly.

Once the ice is off the road it's a Wedge to work for me, pretty much every day until November. Life is way too short to head to work in the capable but boring diesel Audi A6. Much respect to Adam and his 400SX daily trip in to London town direction. My farming estate location does help the situation. Our office location is truly awesome.

Loving the love

I had my 350i for 9 years.
Track days
Sprints
Shopping
Commuting
Going on holiday
General runaround
Everyday car

Took it all in its stride. Miss it. Wish I hadn’t sold it.

That said, 14 years into the Griff and no thoughts of selling. However, if B131ODL came up for sale I would be really tempted. Or for that matter, any V8 wedge, no wait......

I reckon you must have one of the best looking wedges - I'm jealous.

I've had mine nearly a year now, must be a wedge virgin still.

Thanks for the kind comments re the 390. Here's a shot from Monday. I do love my parking spot!
