fatbaldbloke Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Too kind. No plans to move on from the WSCC, just looking for a new challenge within the Westie fraternity. I've done pretty much all I want to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Congrats mate and remember to keep us posted with your new project .. .. and when you say oop north, how far up? Up here in Scotland perhaps, or is Watford, 'oop north' for you?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbaldbloke Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 QUOTE keep us posted with your new project Certainly will, whatever it is I'm in the WSCC for the long haul. I've a few ideas but haven't really allowed myself to think too hard about it until this one was sold. QUOTE and when you say oop north, how far up? Lancashire I believe. Somewhere near the arctic circle anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yes, that's right, in fact my neighbour is none other than a Mr. P. Olarbear! He claims to be Polish but I'm not convinced... I'm pretty close to Preston, so quite South really Thanks again for the viewing and drive out Ian, extremely enjoyable! Sunny weekend morning + superbly well put together car + another potential buyer coming along the next day (sorry David - glad you found another great car though, see other thread!) = easy decision for me. Any Lancs chaps - see you at the next meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 No hard feelings Adam. We probably got it the right way around. Sounds like you were looking for a more track spec one and I was looking more road spec. Hopefully see you at a Lancs meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (stevel) Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 2 more cars at the Lancashire meetings at this rate we will have extend the car park looks like you didn't need much to talk you into the Westfield clan Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
