Hi!

 

I bought my first Westie this summer from PTsportscars, who were absolutely brilliant. She's an SEi and was finished by the owner in 1997. It's only done 1580 miles since completed and needs a bit of TLC, which is what I intend to do! It has a stage 2 1.6 X-flow. I don't know an awful lot about it at the moment as this is the first time I'm dipping into the kit car market!

 

I absolutely love driving it! Not amazingly fast but still puts a smile on my face.

 

A bit about me. I work for a company that specialises in lens hire (we also do cameras) lensesforhire.co.uk - am I allowed to say that? I have an 'encyclopedic' knowledge about most photographic stuff, so I'm happy to help out with anything photography/cameras/lens related.

I have always been into my cars, so I've had a few before this, such as:

 

Vauxhall Monaro VXR 6.0

Vauxhall VX220 2.2 aka 'The Bat'

 

.. PS - yes that is an Impreza P1 in the garage!

Welcome aboard.  That's the same era as mine.

 

I'll probably see you at the local meets, or Le Mans by the look of things

Welcome to the WSCC  -  Westfield have an Open Day (down at Dudley) on the 25th of October which will be a good place to meet fellow members.

 

Once again - welcome to the club!

Welcome! I've used lensesforhire in the past myself; had a Canon 400mm F4L (wanted to evaluate before making a buying choice), that I took to one of the WSCC Sprints at Curborough a few years ago. :)

 

The Factory open day will be a great chance to meet up with a few people if you can make it, also check out your local area meets, apart from meeting other owners etc, very handy if you need to find local(ish) specialists and so on.

Perhaps... will some of these do?
