Afternoon All. So I picked up my first Westfield last weekend. It’s a very clean and tidy car built as a retirement project. See photos. It’s picked up a nickname already in my household. No prizes for guessing. Thank you again to all the people I talked to about what to look for with a first car. I think I’ve made the right choice for me and my intended use. Car is a 2011, 2.0 Zetec Blacktop, Type 9 gbox, Omex, single throttle body, lowered floor and pretty much as standard as you can get otherwise. Couple of things I either was unaware of or not prepared enough for / didn’t notice before buying the car. Keen on any opinions. 1 - only driven it in ‘fresh’ autumnal days but the dials seem to fog up quite quickly. Is this normal? Makes sense that they do but after only 5 miles there’s visible condensation. 2 - cold starts on injection engines. I anticipated a bit of TLC on carb engines but modern ish injection with an ECU I thought would be more robust. A 10degC start after a few days in the garage and it did need the throttle poked and for me to get in and going to be happy idling. I’ve not really got any history from the seller (was a classic car dealer) on the pedigree of the calibration the car is running but a couple of cold starts in a warmish showroom were fine. No issues when driving and warm. 3 - longer down time / storage tips? As weather gets pants it will live in the garage more between uses but anything recommended to make spontaneous outings not disappointing? Other than that the car is everything I hope it would be and more. Thanks Dan1 point

While NMS are fantastic and did work for me, I’d advise you to give it some time for you and the car to get to know each other before whipping out your wallet. A bit of throttle blipping during a cold start would be nice to eliminate but it’s hardly deal breaking or even inconvenient. You will learn optimum starting techniques by repetition. Besides, spending your money on upgrades is what the members will help you do! Let me start by recommending a 280mm Team Momo steering wheel with a quick release, a 6” diameter repackable exhaust in chrome or carbon fibre, some wind deflectors or half doors to make driving more open and enjoyable, perhaps a half hood for weather protection… getting the idea yet? 😂1 point

Thanks to everyone for the input, and apologies for the belated response. I haven't checked out this car in person, but your input on it shows it's not the right car for me. The most precious resource I have right now is time, and I just haven't enough of it to do what's needed to get the car in a good place in light of other obligations. I will be keeping an eye out for other 7s for sale in the USA. I'm still very keep on owning a 7, just not this one.1 point

I stumbled upon a Youtube Series from Australia. It is the build of a Toyota Stout which is a pickup from that market around the 80's. The level of skill is massive and what makes it even more special the builder is a young woman who seems to mix art with metal skill. Not a lot of talking but I am sure others will watch this below is the first one1 point
