WESTINI001 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hi everyone, quick background on me joining here.. Have been looking at kit cars for past 6 months, looked at caterham, tiger, mk and Westfield, haven't purchased anything yet as I'm having a garage built which completes in 6 weeks time. Still undecided against manufacturer, leaning more towards Westfield, hence joining here, and also attending the Westfield drift day at donnington earlier today, with the other half (Bini), as she also will be using and driving.. So wanted her to physically sit in one and drive to see her expression.. Good news, she loved it.. So green light for when garage is finalised. I'm Paul, I have driven loads of cars in the past 20 years, but never a kit car.. So before I get too old to climb in and out I thought I'd better crack on and buy one. Budget wise, have planned to spend no more than 10k but can do more if its worth it, want zetec engine, full cage, aero and windscreen options, digital dash would be nice, its pretty much for track days and road if the weather is good. Basically another toy, as they tend to be.. So, that's me, I work from home as an IT consultant, so will frequent the forum regularly, reading up, asking questions, keeping an eye out for what's selling, and generally getting to know everyone. Soon as I get on, if it does indeed turn out to be westfield, which is 80% certain, I'll gladly pay the annual membership. I'm a member of other forums with the 5 other cars between us, so don't mind contributing to the upkeep of a club. Speak soon, Paul. PS: if anyone has a Westfield in the Doncaster area and would like to pop around and offer advice, we don't mind, coffee and biscuits in exchange for valued opinions / suggestions isn't too hefty a price to pay..

Tricky Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Good luck with the search, seems to be plenty of decent motors selling on here recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Welcome I looked at all sorts of seven type cars I liked the Caterhams and Westfields were almost half the price with a good speed series so that was that Some other kits I think use to many heavy suspension items from the original cars to stay light and agile Good luck with your quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hiya Paul, For £10k. you should find almost exactly what you want. I would start looking now if I were you, a hefty deposit would secure the car you want and you'll be ready to fill your nice new garage.

Rory's Dad Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hiya Paul, For £10k. you should find almost exactly what you want. I would start looking now if I were you, a hefty deposit would secure the car you want and you'll be ready to fill your nice new garage. Being a Yorkshireman, I'd try a small deposit first Hope you can make the meeting tomorrow - you'll be very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
