What looked like a series one FHC in pale blue/grey(?) on the road leading to Croft race circuit in N.Yorks today.

Sorry details are sketchy. I went into a state of shock as it came round the bend towards me.

Not seen this one before - anyone on here ?

I was searching for free entertainment, and found a very pleasant trackday taking place at Croft.
One or two Tivs there, including a rapidly driven Tuscan and a lovely-sounding Griff 500.

Hopefully a BBW will be hurtling around there later in the year.
Got to give it a go before the Zimmer frame beckons.

pale blue/grey(?) No black of varying shades of matt, gloss and primer overspray giving that subtle camouflage finish. I was on the way to the garden centre. Handy having a hatchback!

The sun was in my eyes !

I think I was getting you mixed up with a pale coloured FHC I saw in Stockton a few weeks ago.

Blimey - now I've sold mine, they're everywhere!

Nice to see the car is out and about now anyway.
Maybe see you at Croft coming Saturday ?
I should have my BBW then.

Well I have been promising myself a trip to Croft for years The shame of it is I am only 3 miles away. Looks interesting entertainment on Saturday so if I finish my tiling quickly I will be there. Although I am a fair weather outdoor type (That's why I have a FHC)so if it's raining I wont.

I also saw a (dark blue i think) FHC going the other way on the M1 saturday morning - I was hurtling along in my wedge and only saw him at the last minute.

Also seen in last 2 weeks a white SE going down Woodridden Hill in epping forest (my wedge was parked in the volunteer pub, and driver sat in beer garden jumps up and says FOOK ME ANOTHER WEDGE ), a red 350i in the traffic que at Hadam lights on the A120 AND a burgundy se going towards stevenage on the A602.....

but I have long suspected that only 5% of tvr & wedge owners are on PH as I have been seen out in my wedge hundreds of times by other TVR drivers but never "spotted"

cool tho - all those wedges out there in 2 weeks

At least Wedges still have the exclusivity factor though.
That thought crossed my mind when I noted the sheer numbers of Audi TT droptops, Saabs, MGFs, etc out and about this evening.

All this gorgeous weather, and now it's going to pee down for my journey back up from Solihull tomorrow with my new Wedge.
