I've seen your name pop up on M5 threads on PH a number of times and wondered if you were the same Quinten as on here. Here's mine Matt

I understand that Dave Banner did 57.70secs in his 1600 Busa at Harewood last weekend. That is a new outright Westfield record as far as I know and would have smashed the Class H target time. He did in excess of 100mph through the speed trap.

Ha ha wants to mate with black & yellow Westy Yellow being a magnet for flying pests

Happy Birthday Rae…hope you had a good one...

Officially it means I can now have a mid-life crisis and buy more cars

Hi. PM sent And thankyou.

MHR ....feeling old hahahaha swap you any day !!! Great date for a birthday though ;-)

Many Happy Returns!

1K 0.25W between ground and red in parallel with the indicators should do the trick...

I'm no auto-electrician but I'd guess at an in-line resistance of some type on the red wire between the indicators and the DRLs. Enough to stop a very small current but not 12v???

Hi Marcus. Your trip sounds like fun. Don't forget plenty of pictures.

Sorry - none, blame Wendz who was chief photographer. But have video clip of me passing you

Love the fact that my car just makes me feel alive.... Hate the fact that the weather isn't conducive to a drive out every day....

That'd be a good call - I like the aeroscreen a lot, but am planning a trip to the Alps next year - so a screen and half hood is hovering in the back of my mind. The westy for me has achieved something I thought impossible - it has satisfactorily replaced my long time addiction to motorbikes - and that is a statement I honestly thought I'd never say! It is a hoot on the country twisties - and requires a similar level of concentration as a bike (being all small and vulnerable). This is something in particular that I like, as it means my head can only work on driving and staying alive which in turn means all of the day's problems that filled my head get neatly put away and this (for me) magically helps solve subconscious issues, whilst at the same time providing a nice shot of adrenaline! Now, if only I didn't have 300 hrs of work to do this month! (right, back to it)

Love the noise, the thrill, the wind in my hair (ok, the wind on my head), love eating flies and road gravel, I love the connection between you and the road, the complete lack of any safety features knowing that if you crash you will more than likely end up dead, I even love getting a sunburnt head when I forget to take a hat. Love being able to hear, see and smell the countryside in far more detail than if you're wafting along in a diesel tin-top. Love having to concentrate on every gear change, corner, line, pot hole and cowpat, love the noises and character and everyone's car being different - it's almost like it's a living thing you have to be extra nice to on a cold morning, I love going for a drive for fun and not just to get from A to B, love the way you can forget about your worries, love that it's the only car I've driven that I don't want to put music on to drown out the monotony, I love that 40mph feels like 100mph .... it just makes you feel more alive. I hate not having it in the country with me and having to sell it on.
