Just driven hubby's westfield again after an unforgiving poor try first time round - seemed to have a kangaroo stuck in the engine somewhere! Anyway, conquered it now and managed a full 15 mins whizzing round local roads with smooth gear changes ! well chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Greg Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Debs drives the Westy on the roads and is now quite comfortable in how it behaves. She was really wary of it for the fisrt few times though. She's booked in for her first track drive on the WSCC day at Mallory and is really looking forward to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappers Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Glad you enjoyed yourself. When my wife went out in mine it was painful to start with - apparently 15 mph is fast. Then all of a sudden after saying you can put your foot down a bit, it was bouncing off the limiter and I then had to ask her to change up. One or two more rides and hopefully she be confident to go out on her own or with her sister.....wait what am I saying...that's a bad idea. I'm going to go out for quick spin only to find the car not on the drive. Regards Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
