Car Throttle Video
Discussion
Hi all, it's been a while since I last posted..but I thought I would post this up.
Forgive any cock ups on technical data, having cameras in your face & some nerves means you end up forgetting your own name, least of all specs on the SEAC..numbers built etc..

I feel like I've just watched a documentary on the Wedge...Puka....The only thing missing was Clarkson at the end just saying..."Nice"...Then a massive wheelspin off into the distance....
Very well filmed...Now how about some pics for the Wedge calendar ...Please..Some stills off of the video are adequate if you have no pics..
Shame about your back mate...Does it make getting in and out of the Wedge difficult?..Theres a whole subject somewhere about "How comfortable is a Wedge"...Or have i forgotten to post it again...
Thanks Zig, yes sometimes it can be really difficult. Sitting in stop/start traffic is the worst. Heavy clutch can have me really struggling, but..I love Wedge TVRs so until I absolutely cannot do it anymore..I'll put up with the pain.. it's worth it!

I have a picture from the vid I can send. I'll email it to you.
Thanks all for the positive comments, really appreciate them.
Maybe a little less background music and more exhaust would have been better, but I'm otherwise happy with it. Its just good to get some Wedge exposure on a car website.
The CT guys did a great job! Though I was more concerned that my ugly mug and monotone voice would ruin it!
Sorry Paul.. come back to the darkside, get another SEAC!!

Never had a wedge, always admired the SEAC, loved the vid, could have done with more exhaust and less background music!
Had to smile at the view of the hacked exhaust outlet through the rear valance, pure TVR!
Admittedly, it's one of the areas that bugs me. Repeated exhaust & tail trim removal has caused the damage. I will be getting it sorted over the winter. Had to smile at the view of the hacked exhaust outlet through the rear valance, pure TVR!

Thanks Wyn.. I didn't know you had a VX220 Turbo now? Ace handling car..& quick! I came close to buying one a few years ago.
Yes, bends the laws of physics this thing but ironically it might have to go as it's affecting my back. It's like trying to climb in and out of your own washing machine on a daily basis.
What's on the list as replacement for the VX then?

As much as I admire (drool) over the big wedges and in particular the SEAC's there is just one thing I don't like about the overall look.....the "tea tray" rear spoiler, I much prefer the look of the SE style rear of the boot lid mounted type!
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same?
Rob.
I think you either love it..and get that that is what a SEAC is all about..as Clarkson would put it, "It's a big loud shouty car" or you hate it.. or at least dislike it. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same?
Rob.
I love it, it's part of the SEACs DNA, it's aggressive in your face character. Something like that anyway.
Plus, it's a piece of TVR design racing history.. It was created to provide shed loads of downforce for the race car in the 80s, but they needed to homologate it..and so the road cars got the spoiler.
