New Fun Weekend Toy

[gobbleplease]

Brilliant they are awesome I had one for a couple of weeks I wouldn't get out of the thing - or couldn't get out the thing I can't remember ........

At 70mph the window flexed so much it was nearly hitting me on the face, pedal tunnel in a propper v shape and so close together you need to take your shoes off !

Awesome performance for the money, I had a 230bhp n/a cosworth Yb powered one and sold it.  Do regret it a bit but couldn't really justify it with a young family :-(

The age of a build/kit car is determined by the age of the majority of parts fitted from the donor car, therefore I'd imagine the donor mx5 was a 94 car 
Iirc there's a 'percentage' rule regarding whether a kit car can be awarded a new registration, if the age of the donor parts can not be determined or there are not enough parts used from one car then it will have to go on a 'Q' plate..

Have you gone sideways in it yet?

Correct.  Although this one could actually go on a 60 plate apparently.

It will be going on my cherished plate anyway.

Yes. A little. But I'm still getting used to it.

Looks awesome - must be quite a handful!

I remember my only experience of a Westfield was a passenger ride on a dark night in Modena - it was hot, low, but a lot of fun. It was a 2l Ford Duratec (I think), but went well! 

We were on a driving trip and the tour went back to the UK via the Nurburgring - you should have seen the faces of the guys we got talking to in the Pistenklause (they'd been on a similar trip in their Evo's & Impreza's) when the chap in the Westfield said he'd driven from the UK, to the Stevio pass, to Modena and then back. They were amazed.

Pretty hardcore dedication (and not sure I'd want to do the drive in one), but it shows they can be reliable!

Enjoy your new car Deako!

Cheers. Plenty do big touring drives. Some ingenuity is required for baggage. :)
