Here is one for the pot... how many people are taking wedges and going to LM This Year ?

Everyone else seems to be into group Photo's, what about a Mass Wedge Photo Opportunity (maybe on one of the Corners just off the road at Arnarge ? or anywhere else for that matter.

Im sure it would be an awsome sight and sound if we can get enough of participants.

I'd love to have my little old wegde there too ... so
long as you don't mind a SEAC joining in...

It would be even better if NACNUD is there too with
his SEAC as he could take photo's.

Check out the front of sprint for his latest and then
be even more amazed when you realise that the original
had a lotus elise in it - and edited out !!

Check out the T350 thread for the pics..

The best day & time is definately Friday morning
any time between 08:00 and 12:00 and the place
- well it just has to be Arnage & Indianapolis corners.

Check out my profile for the picture of me at Indianapolis corner last year, wedge-a-flyin!
Several of us wedges parked up together then and it was an awesome sight.
lets aim for Friday morning, around 10 ish?

Andy 400se camping at Houx, and travelling on the 10.00am Eurotunnel on Thursday morning!

Sounds good. That Time would mean colours look nice and vibrant.
I would like a few Good Quality Photo's of wedges for the living room wall, and some Digital ones for the Lapto wallpaper. Fingers Crossed for good weather.

Why the uncertainty of seac's ? they are wedges arnt they ? The loudest and proudest wedges of all!.

Ten..ish..

I don't do Ten..ish..

Sorry, old Sean Connery joke thread re-surfacing..

Ten sounds great - I'm well up for it.

Can't wait to meet you all.

Jvaughn - Just being meak... course SEAC's are the
best of the wedges.. and the loudest !

Althought in all honesty - they dont feel any different at all to drive.

I'm heading over on Thursday ,.. my only worry
is being sober that early in the morning.

But knowing it's a Wegde gathering - I'll have to make the effort. I usuall have a good blast around 08:30
along the Mulsane / Indy / Arnage sections - not too
much trafic - it's well worth getting up early for.

You also miss the Gendarmes and tractor/lawnmower
mobile chicanes & mases of traffic.

I've just put new S03's on the 450 SEAC and I have
a service & upgrades planned for next weekend - so
I'll let you all know if the seac is actually much
better that my old 400SE.

I didn't think it's that bad, you just 'hurl' it into the corners, very satisfying

Almost broke my heart when you ran her dry though

I'll be there in me white wedge, if I can get up at that time !

Isnt that cos you thought I'dd crashed it !
Still, I gave you a chance to see your car piss all over the rest of the field, even scare the shit out of the guy with the cerbie.
Has Richard Aldous's knuckle marks come out of the dash board yet .? he was really holding on for dear life

on a serious note, when his motor is back on the road, that will be one well sorted Car .. chassis like new.... all 4 corners with new shocks and rubber, plus the new cam / clutch, fuel system etc.... new car!
