Two completely different cars. The Chim/Griff cars are so much smaller & lighter. Much better balalnced, handle better, ride better etc, BUT. For me, the whole driving, ownership, overall excitement experience is far more special in a Wedge. The sound, smell, feel, look, the people. Just awsome. yes...thumbup

I think the video sums it up. You either get it or you don't.

Wyn,
Great video through beautiful countryside. What part of the UK was that drive through? Great sound track as well. And, I agree with Rev, like the hat!

Thanks chaps. Marshall, the vid was done in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, some great roads here. The piccys were taken next to Crai Resevoir. Lovely spot.
Oh & the hat was an xmas pressie last year from the family & is my favourite. thumbup

Thanks Wayne, hehe know bu99er all about the GG's mind. thumbup

What was I doing wrong steering wise then? scratchchin or am I missing a witticism. wink

Thought I was doing well keeping it in a straight line. The back wheels were lighting up in 2nd & 3rd. yikes If you look closely at the first roundabout at the beginning & the following junction you'll see the rev counter zooming round & the car twitching. eek...hehe

<Advanced Driver Hat On>

You crossed your hands when turning, and where was your left hand on the straights? It wasn't on the steering wheel, where it should be.

<Advanced Driver Hat Off>

Nice vid though, thanks for sharing driving

...Keeping the glovebox closed of course. biggrin

Anyone knows that the left hand is used only for adjusting the rear view mirror, the radio, the satnav, the steering column and seat position, texting, handbrake turns, and scratching nose or balls....in between changing gear and unwrapping Murray Mints or flicking your fag into the ashtray.

THAT is advanced driving. smile

One hand was good enough for Colin McRae .. most of the time and he was a TVR driving god.
