Sits well on those wheels . Was contemplating one before I built the Westie with the CSL style wheels too, but didn't want to get stuck in the BMW servicing and parts costs etc. Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 You need a good indie. Ours has sourced parts such as camshafts recovered from another car upgrading to Schrick versions. Saves a bomb. My lad had a camshaft follower failure that destroyed the shafts - it was a problem with S54 engines for a while apparently. If you're near Amersham anyone with a BMW, Phil Crouch is the man at CPC Performance. Quote

Alfascozzesi Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Yeah didn’t buff out but stood up well. Got swiped off the road and flew into a cairn. Went for somthing sensible like a Westy after that. Quote

And a decent insurance payout I hope? When I have driven in the Highlands I have often thought that the rocky outcrops on the roadsides are the very definition of immovable objects. Quote
Alfascozzesi Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Well another story I fear. The guy who hit me left the scene but lots of witnesses but no one got the plate and I was busy figuring out if I could move my legs! Insurance paid for a Westy, a daily and a holiday but it was MY insurance although ‘no fault’ recorded. Quote
