a4drk Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I know this is a Westfield site, but this has been my baby for 12 years before the Megablade came on the seen. Part of the deal with the Mrs was to sell the boat.... Lets face it, if the sun is out out, i'm out in the Westie..... Wife Forces Reluctant Sale Here...

a4drk Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 How many toys have you got? Too many... She said to me "One one them needs to go..." "It's either me, or that boat" I am so tempted to keep the boat........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Ooh can't have too many toys... At one point we had two tintops, a Westfield, Suzuki 1200 Bandit and this which sadly had to go when redundancy kicked in so we just have two tintops, the 1200 Bandit and my single seater racecar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4drk Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Some more pics ........ Realistically, the lowest i will take for this is £2750..... no less...... The stainless steel propellor is no longer on the boat. It comes with a 15pitch Aluminimum one. Will P/X a car trailer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncansaunders Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I notice from the picture you have an Audi S4. Any good? I'm also looking to reduce the number of toys that I have and combine them into one. Thinking about turning the Westie, Corrado and Range Rover into an S4 Avant and keeping my boat. When the sun was out this year I was in the boat and not in the Westie. Can you tell me what sort of MPG you get from the S4? Cheers Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4drk Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 It was actually a 1.8 Turbo Sport with 200bhp. (150bhp, chipped by upsolute.com) dump valve, bigger boost control valve. S4 Wheels, Grill & badges - not bumpers though ( Looked the part .......... - Close up, only an Audi anorak would know it was a fake S4. Pic is 2 years old. I now have an A4 2.5Tdi Quattro sport - again been chipped up to 215bhp / 320lb ft torque - great for towing.... latest pic below..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4drk Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Can you tell me what sort of MPG you get from the S4? If it's the 2.7 V6 Twin Turbo jobbie, i would be expecting about 22mpg 25/6mpg on a long run and below 20mpg kicking its cnut in.... I looked into getting one. I opted for the diesel instead. Turns out i get 28mpg with that!! The Megablade is more economical!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4drk Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 No, 28mpg is my average... mixture of town / 80 to 100mph on the motorway... Long journey on motorway... i get about 33mph (cruising at 85mph) Towing - i get about 25mpg, again sitting at 80...... sorry i meant to say 60....!

felters Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The Megablade is more economical!! You're not trying hard enough... On the road I get 20-25 and on track 10-15mpg from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
