Does anyone know who owns this Westfield?



I was parked next to him, and had a good chat

Just wondered what size steering wheel you've got on it?

Not sure of his name but we had quite a long chat with the guy, too.He recently got the car from the Westfield forums (WSCC) so might be worth a nose on there as I'm not sure if he is a member on here.Was a really nice VX car with various SBD bits and bobs.

147GTA... I thought i'd ask, did you notice my old man in the new black S4 behind you at one point... Coz he desperately hoped you knew where you were going

I can't say I did to be honest...Was this on the last part through the country lanes before heading for the marina?

Not off hand, but the silvia and the lotus are two of my mates, i'm sure we were chatting with mr. westy in ye olde pube actually but i can't remember his name. If it's the guy i think he lives up north near broxbourne

All I can remember is he had 9 points on his licence; can't remember the name, sorry !!

Yes I remember when he said insurance wasn't that nice for him as he had a few points

Nice chap! I want a steering wheel the same size you see.

[Pekwah1]

it was probably a 280mm or 300mm, going smaller than 280mm is pretty extreme. I currently use a 300 which is pretty damn small and that's on a regular car. you can get away with a bit smaller on a kit car as there's less room to move and less weight to steer

[Digby]

I had a ten inch wheel on the Westfield, it felt perfect for that car

Just for info TV&S have a run that'll end up in the South (keeping the route off the forum, PM me for full details), tomorrow:

Hello mate, Simon here - that's my Westie... Steering wheel is a Sparco and measures 11" outer-edge to outer-edge.... good meeting you all, looking forward to the next one!

Ah thanks very much!

Are you doing the Goodwood Run on the 6th?

[Ben Hughes]

Right, when's the next one then? It really is a superb route.

[Gruffy]

September.

Ah good effort, hopefully i'll have the Cerb back by then.

Keep me in the loop, I'll have a word with my mate at the sailing club if you like? Can't promise anything but if you give me a date early I guess we stand more chance.

[Gruffy]

Thanks Mark. 4th September looks like the front-runner. Doesn't clash with the Revival or Breakfast Club. Expect to arrive at HISC between 8-9. Best guess at numbers would be somewhere around 150 cars but I've always kept the informed as the numbers firm up.

[Ben Hughes]

Excellent - might have another car by that point

Bugger! Thats Bevs birthday so I think getting a pass out would prove a tad tricky!!

Off topic - when the sun finally comes out again are you available for a lunchtime beer Darren? Was thinking around St Katherines dock sometime next week.....

[Gruffy]

Always. St Katharine's Dock is so close for me too. I'm in the Canaries next week though so maybe the week after?
