Took my Clio and Ferrari out to the Nurburgring this weekend



  R14 CUP
Great weekend, didn't get chase to speak to you. I was in r14cup, your car looked superb, didn't realise the Ferrari was yours too!!
 
  Ferrari F430 Spider, 182
Porkie and I are long lost twins we think :cool:

Same cars and a deep love for things "Cosworth" :cool:

Porkie, you had a quote on the ceramics? £3k a wheel I think?

And are you coming to the upcoming "London" meet? 30 cars on the list so far so will be a good'un

that one hell of a car collection you have had mate. :cool:

Thanks for comments. I love cars and am proper petrolhead. They are not all expensive either. I TOTALLY love my Clio and will not be going crazy modding it. It's just great as it is and want to keep it pure and close to what Renaultsport wanted it to be!

Some more pics as people seem to like them. Really like the friendly vibe on here by the way. I like people and forums that appreciate all types of cars and are not blinkered by the one they own...

I think it's a deronda! A kinda kit car version of the Ariel atom.

Just a guess really. Am drunk and in back of cab home from Alicia keys concert. V good by the way!

wasn't that cossie co owned with someone from redline? the engine went pop a few times IIRC?

oh and good lad for driving a car like that on the ring, most owners buy them for posing not driving

The ex editor of Redline 'Renton' is my best mate. We grew up together so the car was always in the magazine for years. We did originally buy the car half each but that soon changed as costs started getting silly. It NEVER blew an engine though. quaife Gearboxes and other transmission parts.... Yes! Alot! Reyland built engine was mint! Proper thing!

My Westfield is at Reylands now... Gonna be [word filtered] fast when it comes back!

He is going out to the ring on 12th June. I can't make it as i am in south Africa for the world cup... After my rave reviews of it, he is borrowing my Clio for the trip now!!!!!

bond broker. I agree with you. Guy is a total total genius!!!
Really really really pleased.
So pleased that my Clio had a cliosport sticker in rear window when I bought it... Because of that I joined here and asked who should set it up. I member called inferno pm'd me mark fish's details and I am REALLY glad he did. Massive thanks to inferno

Gonna put him in charge of my Westfield handling setup I think. It's properly goes!

My friend built it for me. few pics for you.... I haven't got any good ones yet. Just these ones taken at my friends house who built it for me.

if you are really into Westfields you can view the entire story of the car and see how much its changed and evolved on this thread.

You sound like such a top guy.

Where are you based?

Essex innit bruv ;)

I do trackdays all over though.
I love taking people on passenger rides! or letting them drive. I like sitting in with inexperienced people on track as well. I am no Schumacher but I have had alot of tuition over the years from race drivers and coaches and I really like to pass on what I have learnt.

Bedford is my fav place. You can REALLY push the cars safely there.

any pics of your dads one? I love looking at pics of Westys. They are all so different.

Fantastic collection of cars you've had/have. You're a very lucky guy. That Cossie is epic!

One question - If you had to give them all away and were only allowed keep one, which would it be?

Oh and the Cup blue is called Mondial Blue btw ;)

I'm a big Aston Fan actually, love it. Have you test driven the New V12?

Great collection I like the turbo shape of the 996 but the headlights spoil it, the 997 got the front spot on but I prefer the 996 styling side on.

My boss has a white 997 turbo, it's not that pretty compared with most other colours..

Thanks for the colour info.

Fair play to you pal, nice work indeed.

I know how beasty them 430s are, uncle has one, same as your spec by the looks of it but in a coupe. Really do sound unbelievable.

That Skyline really does look smart!

Cracking thread and awesome cars!

I saw both your cars in the carpark this weekend. *Note to self, walk over and say hi next time! I admire your honesty at knowing your own limitations at the Ring as well. Never a truer word said. 8.48 isn't bad either :)

Lovely Westfield, that's going to be insane with that much power! My family has had a couple of XE Westie's and they were quick enough!
 
  172 cup
Awesome collection of cars, love the R34, looks stunning!
Any mods made to it?

Also i will be driving a F430 soon @ Thruxton, cant wait! Any driving tips you could pass on to get the most out of it?

that westy is probably the best i have seen by a long shot! Almost as mental as that lavante thing! but probably half the price?!?
