Brack Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 My car in the “Car” magazine Performance car of the year test in November 2000… it was pitched against the then new Lotus 340R and a Caterham R500. The ‘busa didn’t go through from the group. They thought it was a bit lairy for the road😆, but said the outcome may have been different if the first part of the test was on track… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description of the green stripe didn't quite do it justice. 😉 How did you get rid of it? Looks like a different car now. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafod Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 My dad’s Westfield V8 beast with a TVR Tuscan race engine in 2009 and my 2.0 Zetec in 2021 outside my Aunts house. It such a shame I did not get to take my Dad for a blast in my Westfield. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top layer came off relatively quickly but the grey primer under that was a pig to shift... 🤣 I'm really pleased with how it looks now compared to how it was when I first picked it up! And now it's actually on the road it doesn't feel like the same car from 6 years ago! Although it is a bit of a downer when you run out of fuel when you're gauge is still showing a quarter of a tank, which totally happened today. Luckily I was only a couple of hundred metres from home after a 12 mile trip... 😶 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
