nice to meet Mitch and his buddies last night at the Aviator - had a little run out up the mad-mile to Wellingborough but it quite foggy and very wet :-)

 

 

good luck in your quest Mitch :yes:

V8 power is what you really need for the torque and the noise ! When I started looking for a Westfield 3 years ago, I intended to buy a zetec. First one I looked at, I couldn't even drive it due to the floor mounted pedals. I am 6' 4". I know now that is a fixable issue. I then looked at an SEIGHT and just had to have it and put a deposit down there and then.

With the benefit of hindsight, I should have examined the car more carefully or taken someone else along to rein me back and who knew what to look for. I discovered some cracks in the chassis around the diff cage, 2 weeks after buying it.

You have done the right thing in joining the WSCC and going to a meet before purchase. Wish I had !

Good luck in the search.

Was good to meet you two James! Thanks again for the ride out even though it was foggy. It's given me more of a Westfield buzz now! Will let you know if I find anything :)
