Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Wondered if any sport 250's are taking their owners to Stoneleigh on Sunday? If so, would they be willing for me to admire you? I'm going on Sunday, would be good to meet up with fellow owners, and have a chat. Promise not to mention wiring! Looking forward having a good look at as many Westfields as I can, and meeting some of you "in the flesh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 There will be 2 on the Westfield stand. The factory demo and the hjd demo nc500. David from HJD is a very nice chap and sure will let you have a prod and poke around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't know actually how many there are on the road now. Must be a couple at least surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hope there's a few there as well as the demo cars, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Don't they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Got to agree it's not a vey elegant looking engine. Time will tell how well it performs though!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine bits not painted , so nice and rusty. ( was built for a customer at Stoneleigh last year) Such little things can make a car look so much better and costs nothing but being proud of what you built. Bit of tyre shine wouldnt have gone a miss either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg I didn't realise things were this serious with regards to the dust under the arches I stand corrected ,I really hope they have cleaned them this year as I'm going to have no sleep between now and Sunday thinking about all that dust I dread to think how many people its put off buying a car. I regards too the unpainted engine /parts I'm with you on that one but correct cleaning and the prep is very labour intensive and the correct materials are not cheap so how can you say they cost nothing ? and I'm sure if the customer was willing to pay extra to have them painted I'm sure sales staff at Westfield would help the customer spend his money. And how is any of the above classed as "Ropey Spec"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrustyjust Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you spend 40 grand, yes forty grand ( I was informed by WSC) on a stand and advertising your cars £30 worth of paint and a few hours labour is f*** all. If you want to sell your products you aim to get them looking 100% on the largest kit car show in the UK thats nearest your own factory, so you cant question travelling hundreds of miles. Looking at other manufacturers products they just seemed to make more effort in getting it right, thats all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
