Hi, Everyone!
My name is Monica and I have owned my LBC for just under a year. It had been a long time coming as I wanted one since I was 16--I'll let you do the math. [:)] In anycase, I purchased my Craigslist car and never looked back--I am loving the experience and trying to convince my husband to do the same! Wish me luck on that one....he just doesn't "get it". [;)] However, after our recent upholstery and paintjob, he may actually be coming around.

I hope you don't mind questions; those I have in abundance. Answers?! Ummm, not so much! Heck, who am I kidding?! Not at all! Thanks, Rich, for telling me about this site and a big Hello to those familar BCF names! --Monica

Welcome to the site. We have the answers. It seems when it comes to TR7's only one Significant Other per family is allowed to like it.[:)]

Next is to get the trick of adding pictures to your post.[:D]

Nice Spider by the way, but then I'm biased.

Hi Monica, from one Spider owner to another. I have 108,000 miles on mine, now, and it still remains a delight to drive and use the car. Every trip is an adventure and over the long haul, it's been a reliable and wonderful handling sports car.

This forum has been a huge help for me in using my Spider as a daily driver!

Where do you live in the US? This site has quite a range of participants; you might find a wedge owner near you.

Hi Monica! Of course it's not as if we don't already know each other...

BTW... My Spider has 122,000+ on it - runs great, but getting a little long in appearance, especially the interior. And I still envious of that material you got for your seats!

I do hope someone told you the initiation fee is to bring enough doughnuts for everyone.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Everyone. It is great to be surrounded by others with the same addiction/obsession. Aaah...feels comfy here. [:)]

Jeff, I live in CA and would love to meet other Wedge owners. So far, I have met only 1. I know they're out there!

Gals in the garage--how awesome is that? Sue and Mildred, I am excited to join your ranks!

Posting pictures--UGH! Next time, Merv, I intend to get it right. Thanks for your assistance with that. However, I make no promises! Hee-hee.

Thanks again everyone. Your enthusiasm and expertise are appreciated!--Monica

Hello Monica in TR7 world..

..I have a Californian TR7 DHC from San Jose ... so the world is small [:D]

...enjoy your TR7 -
