D7PNY Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Got a hillclimb (albeit a short one!) This weekend and a sprint next weekend so will see how I feel after those. I have a sneaky suspicion that I will get cold feet after those. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 As Mr Greenstreak said, think carefully... Andy looked absolutely gutted when the sale went through on his first Westfield. He looked like he spent the entire ownership of the (very pretty) Elise, bitterly regretting it, in fact, he looked gutted. The change in him after buying another Westfield was amazing.

Doug Dastardly Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 In that case I'll try to make it to littleferry to see you. Do you know what time of day it is on? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Sat and Sun and usually practice starts around 10 with competition runs in the afternoon from about 1-4 ish. Never been to golspie but I guess the timetable will be similar to normal. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2T Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Dave & Doug Yea good to see you and the others today, didn't realise that hillclimb was so short but not as hairy as Doune What was your best time today Dave I guess the Caterham won the class. Doug I am hoping to go to Golspie on the Saturday Steve PS this is the Kylestrome layout for the Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah,it is a little short but still good fun even if it is only 3 corners. I messed up both my timed runs...missed second gear off the start line both times!Still quick enough for 3rd (just!) But about a second and a half down on my pb!33.4 was my best competition run. Did do a 32.4 in my practice runs which is more wthe ballpark where I should be. Yeah, the minister engined caterham won and got fastest road car and then 2nd went to the caterham superlight so was positioned as best as I could expect I guess so don't feel too bad about messing up my runs. Maybe see you up at golspie. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 After all of my waffle above and deciding to keep the car...I am looking to put it back up for sale so apologies for appearing somewhat indecisive! Different reasons than before so definitely for sale this time! Been working on some opportunities at work for some time now and following a meeting on Friday it is looking likely that one will come to fruition. Great opportunity and exciting times but involves raising a substantial amount of money so having to pool all of my resources. This unfortunately leaves me in the peculiar situation of needing to sell the westfield now just when I decided I don't want to. Car is fantastic and a great spec car for reasonable money. Will sell car and trailer separately so that's not a problem but equally, will make a great value package for someone. I can now also add to the advert that it is a class winning car As you can see from the pics, the car looks very presentable for a road/track/sprint car but as mentioned previously it does have some crazing in the gel coat etc. I can remove the stickers carefully so hopefully avoid lifting any paint, This is done with a heavy heart but I will hopefully be back in a westfield once the business opportunity bears fruit! Cheers, Dave Some more photos to wet your appetite and one with the car in the trailer to show how the car fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Dave, can't you borrow the money from the bank and keep the car and trailer. You have to work out the cost of selling and buying again in a year or so's time against the interest charges. The car and trailer will still be there if you need to sell. There's a lot of miss information about bank lending. If you do a good presentation which isn't in cloud cuckoo land you should get a loan. We have just been offered £100,000 loan if we want it. We don't as they bank with us at the moment - and for free! I'd better do something about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi Norm, It is maybe 'possible' without selling but a lot easier if I do. As there will be funding involved on 'the rest', the more I can pull together the better really. Short term, I would love to keep it but long term doing this should allow me to enjoy much more toys further down the line Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
