Popular Post Matthew Posted October 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi all I’m Matthew or call me Matt ! ive previously had a 7 type car many moons ago ... it was a Robin Hood the type with the suspension in the nose ! it was my first fun car I guess .. not including the Toyota MR2s I’ve had over the years ... after selling the Robin Hood I bought a TVR chimera and still have it 13 years later ... due to a loss of a loved one I inherited a Nissan GTR R35... as time passed I found it was too fast and stressful to look after ... I swapped cars for a weekend with a friend Nissan GTR for a Westfield. I had so much fun in my friends Westfield I realised the GTR had to go.. so I recently sold the GTR and bought my first Westfield.. And not looked back.. the GTR was an incredible machine but too fast for the roads imo, also a huge responsibility to keep it running . I must say I’m really enjoying my Westfield it’s reminding me what driving is all about 💖 ive changed the brakes, wheels , and put an msa roll bar on so far ! Next is some shiny pipes !! I look forward to meeting some of you fellow owners in the near future when the virus 🦠 has gone !! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 You've made the right choice. You'll have much more fun in a Westie and not have the eye watering expenses of the GTR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY-Si Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hello! Big fast cats have their place, but little nimble ones are more usable and usually more fun! Enjoy yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Yeah, but no, but yeah..... A GTR? How could you sell that! As I often say, ‘or’ is such a mean word.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Great choice. BRG and old school dash with black interior. Snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnip&chips Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Welcome from a fellow newbie, I was in a similar situation to you with a Mercedes C63, stupidly fast and made a lovely noise but that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXRORY Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 good choice..... I did the fast tin tops, My e46 m3 was ruinous to track, and even that felt too fast for the road. For it to feel exciting regularly I was well into license losing terrroity. Soooo heavy too Now my money is invested in some old Ford bits, some box section and i'm having way more fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
