Hi all i purchased David’s car just for the record

Cracking run out last night for our WSCC north east monthly meet, not as many as previous months but still a good night, looking forward to Octobers meet already 👍

September poem for @marcusb AI Style. “Traded raw thrills for a badge and some gloss, Swapped Westfield joy for Lotus loss. The dark side called, but let’s be frank- It’ll never match that Westfield spank!” Oh Westfield, my thunder, my open-air song, You roared through the bends, where my spirit belonged. Your heartbeat was raw, unrefined, yet so true, A cockpit of joy with a limitless view. We danced through the corners, alive in the breeze, The crackle of throttle, the rush to appease. Each mile was a memory, bright as the flame, Each drive was a story, no two were the same. But now you are gone, sold off with a sigh, Replaced by a Lotus-oh, how could he try? To trade purist passion for something so tame, To cross to the dark side-it just isn’t the same. So here’s to the Westfield, forever my muse, A car for the mad ones, the brave ones who choose. Though others move on, I’ll remember your fire, A legend of freedom, of purest desire. He’ll be back!

I'm glad you relented and came anyway!

Thanks David was super easy to deal with and yes I believe it to be exactly what you see in the pictures except better in reality

I’ll be doing some engine mods and differential , yes I’ll do a few track days and generally have some fun in Uk & Ireland

Happy birthday old timer from all in East Anglia

Happy Birthday @GaryD1971 🍺 🎂

Congrats! I can see you're a full member, why don't you open a thread on the Technical -> Build section with pictures and plans you have for the car? We love pictures

You have got yourself a cracking car!

Not sure! Can only go off what what passed on to me via a few messages 🤣 …but ended up with Howdens sorting him out either way 🤷🏼‍♂️

He’s got sorted via Howdens now 👍

Luckily for you it was the other end of the country to me, I'm pretty sure I'd have bought it if I'd been able to view it. Do you have any particular plans for the car? Going to track it? Road only? Euro-blats!

Yea will come up a bit earlier tonight for sure.

Calendar worthy pics mate 👍

I just got home for the first time this month and turned over my calendar, I think I will enjoy September, cos thats @Marcusb following me round the Nurburgring 😂😂😂

Looks lovely, not many engines sound quite as good as a xflow on twin webers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g2qp8wed0o And I'll pile on to EDF. Not price related but bereavement. Needed to change ALL bills/insurances and household "stuff" from my fathers name to mine. Just about every company, agency and whatnot understood and just did it. Not EDF. I complained about the lack of service and basic human understanding. Their "bereavement department" wrote to me saying they will be in touch to resolve. That was May 2023... I resolved it by moving from EDF to British Gas. Took 48 hours with no questions asked. EDF sent a "we're sorry to lose you, but why?" email. It was a two word reply...

Heading down Countisbury Hill into Lynmouth on a fab day out with the Dorset, Devon & Somerset mob. Thirteen cars and a bike, plus some great weather. Spectacular views coming down the hill, though best not to lose concentration due to the lack of fence and sheer drop! 😱🤣

Or alternatively@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOyou could buy a proper engine…?🤔🤣

we are there (wheels at the warren great morning must have been over 300 cars but these were the best three

where's westie

Thanks for the nice comments folks I thought I’d take some of the bodywork off (takes all of 2 minutes) to show the engine area a bit more, plus some more pics of carbon 😄

I tried using my AA cover provided by Nationwide summer 2024 when I cracked my sump on ‘the long way north’ Westie weekend. As soon as I told them it was an accident, rather than a breakdown they lost what interest they had in recovering the car. After a long conversation they offered to recover the car, which was around 100 miles from my home for a cost of approx £850. I was told Ali and me would have to make our own way home. I wouldn’t touch the AA with my barge pole now. They were happy to leave me and Ali and the car on top of a mountain, in the wind, nothing but an ice cream van for company. All our Westie ‘friends’ having deserted us…Anyway. I rang Howdens, they sorted car and us out, despite not having any recovery plan with them. Absolutely brilliant company and 4 months later my insurance premium went up by £8.

European cover only if less than 10 years old
