If Joe Bloggs has caused the damage by his negligence, and he did so in the course of his employment by Company C, then Company C is vicariously liable for Joe Bloggs negligence. Joe Bloggs is not employed by Company A, Company A appears to have sub-contracted the job originally to Company B. So on what basis in law could Company A be liable for the negligence of Joe Bloggs, who has no relationship to Company A whatsoever. My apologies to anyone on the boardroom who may bear the name of Joe Bloggs! Scott, this is my last word on the matter, I just don't want you to waste your money on suing the wrong party, based on "legal" advice from people who may not have any legal qualification.

ECU accessed via DTA windows 10 software; RS232 interface and ‘dyno box’ to control during engine run. DTA ECU timing settings slightly changed from original to ensure running on 95Ron petrol - can easily be adjusted by laptop - I have Linx1010 set up to access ECU via RS232 and all connecting cables and intermediate rare dyno box - can be included in the deal. Builder believes change was unnecessary and 350BHP available. Has traction and launch control with the ecu. This car is seriously quick. But it’s super smooth so can be driven very calmly and is very comfortable for long distance touring. If you press the loud pedal it gains speed very quickly, pulls very strongly and will embarrass just about anything you are likely to come up against. The engine does rev very freely, it is definitely not a dull V8 by any means. The car will be supplied with 12 months MOT, I’m confident that this is one of the best built Seights out there and got to be one of the quickest Westfields on the road! Sold PM for phone number to discuss anything

Meet at McDonalds, Bakewell Rd, Matlock, DE4 3AU at 10am. After refreshments we will take the scenic route to Eyam for lunch in the Miner's Arms. Who is joining us?

Hopefully will make this one.

Thanks all for your take on things. Everything you’ve said makes sense, which is why this is a bit of a minefield. I’m going to get a bit of advice from my lawyer, then file a claim.

Hopefully I'll be coming along 👍

Meeeee!!

Price on Facebook Marketplace is £2850

Thanks for the heads up, but not in a position to view / buy / collect for a few weeks (months?) due to "other domestic priorities" at the moment. Good luck with the sale, and thanks again.

Weather permitting I'll pop up from Worcester. Sold our MX5 last year so I'll have to slum it in the Westfield.....

Why not take both !

And strictly in the realms of "I wonder if..." it was mentioned to me a while ago that whilst liability waivers/indemnities are all very well, it may be that the driver/participants can only waive their own rights. The example was that if a spouse was injured during a track day, whilst the injured party had waived liability, the spouse had not waived any such rights they might have to seek recompense. So when a waiver/indemnity is signed, just how far does it "reach"? What if a household suffered significant loss as a result of an incident and decided to go after the individual rather than the the organisers or event hosts? I'm sure the family of the unfortunate passenger in that Beemer are looking at their options, especially as the vehicle was observed driving erratically and seemingly breaching safety guidance. Remember the waiver is to indemnify the track and organisers from being liable, not from passengers or spectators going after other individuals who might be deemed liable, as I understand it... Maybe things have changed or maybe the person telling me was just plain wrong, but it made me think...

And i was chating with tom frankland at Curborough yesterday about doing zk rear carbon 😆😆

It was a premonition. When will it be ready? 😉😂

Nope! sorry wrong weekend again for me working have fun though!
