The sun was out, so was the wedge
Discussion
In Belgium, hope it was as great in the UK as well.
Use the wedge also during winter but it was the first time with around 12 degrees Celcius plus. On my local dual cariage way had a few runs up and down. Several traffic lights and I like them to turn red when in the wedge. Interesting encounters: surprised a few bikers, bmw diesels, other sportive looking cars and 'cabrios': But nice was the sound 'check' with a new ferrari 4-seater = exchange tumbs up and entertain the others on this road. Result: ferrari nice but no dBs, wedge raw and when accelerating you couldn't even hear the ferrari.... No pop and bang on it either! They probably forgot that in the ECU programming like the blibs on downshifts and flaps in the exhaust.
Did you have a great time like this as well?
Ah, by the way, rear brakes now binding so need to overhaul the lot. Still grinning so don't mind looking after the wedge after having a very enjoyable afternoon (and no problems during winter).

Took the 450 out this afternoon. was such a nice day that I had to make a big effort to get the car out of the garage. I had to shift all the old kitchen cupboards that have been put outside the garage by the bloke installing the new kitchen. Got the car out and went for a half hour blast (was only supposed to go around the block). Still, it was a nice day and it needed to be used for the cars benefit. A gentle shake down to make sure everything was ok and warmed up then let the rumble change to the bellowing howl that we all know and love. Hope tomorrow is the same.....I need to get another fix!!!! Nige'

What a great day. At last it was good to get my car out with all the other Tivvies at the mid-Essex meet. The only Wedge and the oldest car there. Everything else was these round things! Great 'inyerface wedge ' Henry , saw it a couple of years ago at the fest .

The only v8 wedge at northants meet , plus a few northants '7's today , lots of roofs off on the way back . Some nice Harleys about as well , love that sound !I did manage to start the SEAC for 30 seconds - it's the first time it's run for a few Month's..
Now running the new big Bosch fuel pump.
Went out for a ride on my newly purchase m/bike.
What a hoot - I've forgotten what fun bikes are and just how many cars you overtake. I did 150 miles mainly around the south downs.

Like the qwacker, always fancied one and looked at a very similar one when sold the 600, but better judgement took hold Now running the new big Bosch fuel pump.

Too many awkward car drivers out there

It does seem that every car driver that you overtake on a single road when in another car seems to take exception these days..
