Looking at your member map marker, seems you are not too far from the Harz. 

Been there many times on a motorbike and would love to do the same in the Westfield. Fabulous roads!

Welcome Jürgen.

Nice part of the country. That was my alternative route home when working in Speyer.

Looks like your headlamps will light up the road well.

How i became a proud and happy owner of my Westfield?

At first,dreaming 35 years of beeing a Westfield owner,and then,at my 58 birthday,i thought,i dont want to be in heaven,before i have owned a Westfield...

 

At last,realy easy and very simple.

I asked for a Westfield for sale in facebook,Luke Algar,owner of PlaysKool sent me some pictures and described the car,i sent a deposit,drove to Durham and adopted this nice blue baby.

:-)

This was in may of 2018.

Now the Westie,called Serena,is a family member.

After visiting the kitcarshow in 2017,by plane and bus,this journey to Durham was the second visit in England.

And the first time,to drive by car in england.

Really no problem.

Leaved the ferry in Dover,went to the left side of the road,and felt like beeing at home in England.No problem.

And after studying british roundabouts,the first roundabout in Belgium,on my way back home i took the wrong way---- :-)

This has been a really nice and cool time ,beeing in England.

On the way back,i visited my Guzzi friends from the Moto Gutti Club GB in Epsom,spent 3 days with them,and they showed me very ,very nice places  in the country.

Best regards here to Serena Powis and her Husband Paul ,and friends !

6 weeks later,after doing some little repair,(new electric,straigtening the bend frame,little bit of welding,new radiator,.....),i drove to the german TÜV (MOT)

......too loud.much too loud.....but the TÜV engineer had FUN!!!Drove like crazy over the yard,testing the brakes and handling  :-)))

I drove home,bought stainless steel Topfkratzer (dont know the english word,a thing to clean pots....),cutted the silencer,Topkratzer into the silencer,welding,ready...   :-)

Then it was no problem to get the german TÜV okay.

Since end of june,i made 5700 miles.

The first 2500 miles,everytime the same.

Driving-repairing-driving-repairing-......(lost alternator,lost startermotor,engine to hot,lost fuel pipe,broken back-axle braket,broken engine mount,broken gearbox mount,misfire,and so far and so on....)

but - never i needed a trailer to get home,because of my experience with old cars and the simple tecnic of the Westfield.

Very good car :-)

But now everything is running,few days perfect,a day not so perfect,a day superb,a day really bad,and so on....

But every day 100 percent fun and really happy!

And only two days rain,the whole summer,until today,there has been no rain here.

Best weather to drive and have fun.

Now i know,the only and biggest mistake i have done in my live was,to buy a Westie so late.

And its not only the perfect feeling by driving the best car of the world.

Nearly everyone smiles when I drive through the villages.Crazy!And lovely.

:-))

Best regards,viele Grüsse,Jürgen
