I'm having Major problems with my internet so can't access on laptop, only via iPhone which means I can't create a route! :(
But I was thinking start carlisle (9/10am), head up to Hawick and accross into northumberland national park and back, obv over some real good roads, try make it atleast...
Right, sorry for lack of organisation. Wishbone on the car snapped so having to replace both sides and trunions. Also cars getting Booked on to get setup and dyno'd on the 16th (sat) as I want it running perfect.
So the car show in the link is off for me. But the run on the Sunday (17th) is on...
No worry's Adam, that's a stunning westie u have there! They really are brilliant value for money compared to the caterhams, has to be said.
Yes the drag is insane unfortunately :( but the G's are amazing. Just aswell I have a drysump! Hehe..
For what I use it for it's more than a capable car. It's not all about straight line speed. For me this car has sheer character and soul, it's exciting, it's 32years of pure raw driving from within my family, from now on I'm behind the wheel to continue to enjoy it for what it is.
Good good! I have a few others which I can contact who should be interested in coming. Going to get it on a few other forums too.
Let's get a date sorted. How does the 17th sound? Only couple weeks away. Everyone ok with that?
Will get a route sorted ASAP.
Piers.
No no far from that my friend Lol, but u do 110% confirm that you are a complete twit.
Darren, yes as said it suffers from alot of s**t and dirt so needs to be kept on top of unfortunately.
Yes Ino. But it's abit of a c**t thing to say. Ur blantley saying that to make my car seem s**t compared to what u like or think. If it was a thread on caterhams, westfields in general fair enough but not in a thread on someones actual car. Bit of a low blow tbh mate no matter what your opinion...
For £4/5k budget your prob best looking at the westfields, caterhams are usually £8k+
Yes very easy to work on indeed. Alot of the parts iv had to buy like brakes etc are all dirt cheap too
No worries, the engine which is in mine is the 1.6 Lotus TwinCam (which also helps it's value as it's a very sort after engine) and was built/tuned by vegantune. Mine should be running 126bhp and the car should weigh 512kg.
Well mine is lovely to drive when on tap, nice torquey power...
The westfields are worth a look mate, or other kit cars but there usually not worth a w**k tbf.
Value wise, mine will only go up in money :) being the age and model it is it's quite sort after. After all is it the 1st proper Caterham. But yes usually all caterhams hold there money well.
Yea the winter will be interesting, especially when (if) the snow lands heavy. But prior to that I need to get it prepped to deal with all that salt!!
One brilliant thing iv noticed when on good roads is people actually let u past (95% of the time) which is kinda cool :)
its been a while.. but we need a local meet and run out soon!
the last one..
so just gauging interest.. let me know if you are interested!
Thanks, Piers.
cheers nashy :)
haha yea posted these pics up on blat chat but as you will know, you get about 1 post per day lol.
finding it fine mate. i dont mind having no radio (i dont need one with the twincam on tap) amongst other luxurys. i just like to drive so fits me fine! just gota make sure i...

so, been while since iv posted anything on the net about her. been busy getting her sorted, engine rebuilt etc etc..

So just moved into a new flat.
I want/need Internet access but I don't really want a phone line (keep costs down). Only going to be in the flat for a year or so. Happy to just use mobile, phone wise. Is this possible to have access to internet without a phone-line?
I need Internet for...
