Andy - a15cro Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I'm a[ologising to anyone who's been trying to contact me, the fact that I'm neglecting my forum, and my Westfield. Truth is I've been cheating............... 3 Quote

Captain Colonial Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Well preserved beast you have there, the noise of a V8 is quite intoxicating. Of course, the price of petrol when that car was new was £0.24p per litre! Quote
Alan France Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 History for me. I had a 1999 Z28 for three years and a Corvette C6. It's the sound and the torque that gets people. They couldn't believe the pull at only 2,000 revs. Corners can be a problem. The big block Corvette is even better but 9mpg is a challenge. I had a couple of Lexus V8's very different but so smooth. 1 Quote
Andy - a15cro Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 1980 small block 350 V8, imported Feb 2016, just an itch I had to scratch. I'm trying to keep the Westfield, plus Anna is des[erate to do the next Stoneleigh, so good enough excuse for me. Quote
Alan France Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Well done, really great buy. It's good to have the choice of motors. Chalk and cheese. Quote

Alan France Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Just the same as your wife having a choice of shoes and handbags. Quote
6carjon Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 My stance which still works today for me. I dont drink , smoke or watch football. I dont have the money to chase women as I spent it all on cars, nor do I have the energy as I am in the garage fixing them, so you always know where I am She is still here but I think she is bored of my excuse now and just says "Yes dear" ,now off you go to play in the garage !

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Should have realised something was going on with all the Camaro posts on Facebook. Nice looking car, but to be honest, I always prefered the earlier ones. 2 Quote
Vogalogue Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Very nice! My Westfield IS my cheating car... My long term project is a Lexus V8 powered Hilux Surf. An odd combination of cars, but oddly, the chap I bought the Westfield off also has one! Quote
Alan France Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 At the risk of changing this to a US car website here was mine. Registration did confuse with V10 on a V8. I agree with Robin the older ones, much older than mine are better. A friend has the new one and his party trick is to start the car from the key fob outside the car, then switch the exhaust to sports mode using a different fob. Really frightened my grand-daughter.

Steve (sdh2903) Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I'm over in the states at present and been to a couple of local cars and coffee type meets and I must say my urge to build a 50s pickup has well and truly resurfaced. I've even been looking at local for sale ads on line. Must resist..... Quote
Andy - a15cro Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 This is what I had a few weeks ago on holiday. An awesome fire breathing machine. Quote
