You do know that Fork-Lifts were invented by Darwin to prove his theory of evolution and non-survival of the dumbest.

I've seen it before, but still couldn't stop myself watching with horror. (that said, those shelves were shockingly badly installed, to collapse that easily)

 

 

My view exactly! If they can't take a knock from a forklift then they are not safe at all. They looked very flimsy as they collapsed

Allow me to supply you with a few more fears (possibly NSFW but funny to sick minds like mine):

 

 

Some valuable lessons there. I’ve spoken to our H&S department. We should be safe now.

 

We’ve sacked Klaus!

Anyone told Tavarish or Matt Armstrong about this one?? 

[Craigieboy]

Well the plot thickens....!

 

I know a man, who knows a man and the Westfield hasn't been collected from the Auction site yet.

I'd guess that after this period of time that it isn't going to be either.

The registration of my damaged and written off car in bold, so hopefully no one is caught out.

 

I've just been made aware that the car is currently being advertised on FB and Ebay as an Easy Easy Fix!

 

I drove the car home after the accident and the steering wheel was out by a good 45°. It also drove strangely as if it was crabbing a bit. There was damage to the N/S floor, transmission tunnel, scuttle panel and dash support bar. As well as the point of impact at the N/S doorway. 

 

I believe the chassis to be damaged and bent.

 

Whilst I'm sure it is repairable, I think the quoted damage has been underestimated. It's is good though, that they are offering to Mot it for you. 

 

Again hopefully no unsuspecting person is caught out.

i did see this advertisement on facebook as it this company has lot of cool but damaged cars in stock. 

 

They said they could repair it for £950.00 too.

Ahh, TVR Glen!  The tales I could tell you about him and this operation... if I weren't on a public forum and those comments would unnecessarily land me and the club in a courtroom...

 

Allow me to say something that I can say without that happening:

 

MANY OTHER PLACES TO BUY A WESTFIELD ARE AVAILABLE - SEARCH THEM FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY

[Rednop1]

I would like too see it repaired for a grand

 

How much is a cat silencer from westfield these days  £900ish  ?

My nephew did something similar to his Caterham and it was anything but an easy fix, not least because of getting a chassis of the correct vintage with the correct fittings was challenge to say the least.  It wasn't cheap, either.

I love the eBay description:

 

“No Suspension or Chassis Damage.

 

The damage is  only to the high level bar on the entry area of the passenger side”

 

Is that not the chassis?  

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman)]

Google TVR Glen thoroughly before even thinking about buying anything from that operation.

 

We’ve seen a surprising number of Westfields that were written off belonging to owners on here go through his doors.

 

The damage description has NEVER once fully matched what the previous owner described. Nor does it usually match the photos the owners have put on the forum.
