Oh forgot to mention it comes with an all black interior, no tarton for me!

Ok smart ass, lets see how many old cars I can MOT and keep on the road in the time it takes you to do one

I rather spend my time and do it right.

Then having to put it right after every time out.

I take it you don't want a go when it's done then.

Thought not

Christ, I was only joking when I said the strut tops were disintegrating.....didn't realise it might actually be true!

Erm, well, have fun! These things are cheap for a reason, not because they're 'bargains'

Good colour though!

What happens when the yella one needs off-the-roading again, I seem to remember there's more than one garage drifting around tho, isn't there?

Quite comfortable though aren't they - I almost bought one just before summer (as did the 'rents,

) but I really didn't like the styling and it was all a bit....I don't know. Uninspiring. And it was full of grot

I see the cunning plan...swap them round every week to keep the university guessing...Surely one person wouldn't own TWO rusty yellow triumphs?

nice to see adam enjoying triumphs wonder what sort of cars other people had at his age (ones they bought themselves) not funded by their parents etc... dare say there were a few dubious ones owned

i myself had a few i'd like to forget !!!!

At Adams age I was driving a mk 1 Fester, cured me of the Blue Awful for life despite my dads Mk2 Granada estate being a great car.

Looking forward to seeing the wedge in rally colours.

I know the look is down to taste, it'll be interesting what kind of looks I get driving this around compared to my Dolomite. Imagine the reactions of people round here once they know it's me in both the cars!

It is a totally different kind of car to the Dolomite. It's nice to have the contrast but still have similarities like crap engines and rust

The way the car sits as it is makes it look short and fat. But with the right wheels and some lowering it can be made to look much nicer than any X1/9 or Stratos!

You've missed a comma in the title there

"My Wedge (shed, loads of pics)"

TR7's make interesting rally cars:

That one's owned by a friend of mine, I've not been in it, but I'm told it's highly amusing on whites...

See my earlier post.

Awe, he's changed the title.
