Stu Faulkner Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Visited the factory this weekend. I built a westfield back in 1999 and spent two years building it so I'm no stranger to the factory but i havent been there for about eight years. I found it to be familiar as in the feel of the place hasnt changed but the finer things that make all the difference have. I went through the details of the kit as i'm building an s2000 and it varies slightly in places. The point of this post is how helpful Simon was and profesional his approach to what I required. Anyone thinking about a visit should stop thinking and get doing!! Once again, Thanks Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawnabie Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I visited the factory today to order my SDV kit. Simon made me and swmbo very welcome - he even brought us out tea + coffee in the best china! We then had a tour of most of the factory whilst people were working, looked at a few of the orders about to be shipped and then sat down to business. At no point did I feel like he was trying to sell me anything. I told him what I was expecting of the car and he gave me some pointers and recommendations. I appreciate I was there to buy but the whole experience made me so much more confident in buying the kit. I would have no qualms about buying anything else from them - in fact the items that I was buying elsewhere to save a few pennies I will now be buying from the factory. Hope this helps somebody make the right decision! Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I always find it a real pleasure visiting the factory and I'd suggest that any owner should take the chance to call in for their spares and parts if they're ever passing by. Russ now has my credit card number well and truely committed to his memory, and helps me to spend every spare penny I earn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
