jeff oakley Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This car was built by a friend of mine who is a thalidomide victim and after building he suffered recurring cancer. He is now in remission but sadly due to various operations he is never going to be able to drive it. The add gives more deatils but since a no expense build it has done just 500 miles. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202408012394263?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Westfield&page=1&postcode=bs377ut&fromsra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing then you are talking about our good friend Dave aka Flipper? I'm sad to hear he is not 100% Last time I saw him we bumped into each other in Ryman the stationery shop in Yate shopping centre. Great bloke, one of the most cheerful guys I know especially considering the challenges he's had to face. I must pop to his workshop and say hello. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Yes it is Dave. I go down and help him out as there are things he cannot do but as you say he is one of life's great guy's. What he has had thrown at him over the years would have destroyed most but he just keeps getting back up and laughing. Dave likes people popping in that is for sure his kettle is always on. I didn't realise you lived in Yate but today I walked past another house with a red and black Westfield so there appears more about these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dropped by before but never seem to catch him there. No idea who the red and black Westie belongs to. There are loads around that we don't ever see I'm sure of that.
