Sorted.

After what seems like an eternity I have my registration documents today, number plates are on order for fitting tomorrow. The car was finished in May but due to COVID the IVA was at the end of Oct. Really looking forward to driving on my north Wales roads but it’s just a shame I have missed out on the Summer. I lot lots of new bits still to fit post IVA including my SBFS half hood, carbon exhaust, momo steering wheel with QR, carbon diffuser and stone guards, protechs and widetrack front suspension. This will keep me busy when it rains. Looking forward now to joint some boats.

A Camaro Z28 was my company car for three years and 76,000 miles, same tax band as the Space Shuttle.

🤦‍♂️

R1r in 13s?

I didn’t say it’s fraud, I asked if it was fraud. You can tell because I used a question mark.

If it were that simple we'd all set up our own company for £25, buy a "company car" then have our family, sorry, company directors, round for xmas lunch meeting on xmas day....etc, etc...

That's not quite s company car then.... Mine was 3 yr lease, insured, mileage paid, servicing and consumables paid. NHS ....

not sure you've got the hood on right? Your going to struggle to see much out that windscreen slit😆 congrats the car looks great!!!

Someone's got their posting in a knot!!!

I'm biased obviously, owning a x-flow, and acknowledge straight away that more modern and more powerful engines catch the eye of prospective owners out there.... For simplicity, the x-flow takes some beating, and if you like to wield a spanner, then there's a lot you can do to them maintenance wise without too much effort, and then, there's the soundtrack, that really does take some beating.... X-flows can vary a lot too, bearing in mind its a 40 yr + old engine - basic unfettled examples will be right at the bottom end power wise, and will soon feel slow, whereas a top notch example with all the mod cons and 140+ bhp will deliver smiles per miles imho equivalent to much more expensive set ups approaching 180 bhp.... But they are old technology, so bear that in mind. I would say an absolutely top notch x/flow in anything less than a concourse car & chassis would be 6.5k absolute tops, with lesser examples down to 5k plus. Don't forget bhp is only on paper too, car set up, brakes, suspension & tyres complete the package and many under-gunned setups on paper are much closer to just bigger power set ups in real driving terms...sitting a few inches off the deck amplifies the experience and legal speeds feel like well north of 100mph in boring tin tops. Mart.

When you say 1.0... does it have to be the original Micra engine? I've got a nice 200+bhp CBR1000rr engine in the garage 😆

On the plus side the roads of Cornwall should be quieter in the summer. The m5 services will have overnight charging and probably a casino and all sorts.

This area of the forum, whilst titled 'Stuff and Nonsense', is to enable members to raise topics which clearly don't belong in other sections of the forum. However primarily, we are a Westfield sports Car forum and members should strive to contribute in a balanced way. We'd hope 99% of member's posts are on Westfield Sports Car related topics and 1% are 'stuff and nonsense'. Hence before posting in here, please consider: 1. Do I really need to share this with the WSCC Community (i.e. is it all ready covered on main stream news sites, Face book etc)? 2. Is there already a thread on this topic? If, so why not continue on that thread, instead of starting a new one! 3. Have there been lots of similar threads on this topic and hence members may view my post as repetitive/annoying, etc? Please also consider many members view the forum, by selecting the unread posts view, and therefore some members may become frustrated if all they see is 'stuff and nonsense' topics from this view. Some of these members may then raise the issue with the Moderator Team, who do they best to keep this a happy and friendly place to be! The team work around the clock, ensuring SPAM and inappropriate posts are quickly removed and hence would appreciate if their collective workload can be reduced, by not having to deal with issues on repetitive posting of non-car related topics.
