Sold the Wiesmann and bought an Aston V8 Vantage

[cwin]

It's not as quick but quick enough for what I want as a road Gt car,

[Bincenzo]

Lovely, cracking colour and the best wheels. Welcome.

[Jon39]

Welcome.

You have a good looking car. The 'classic Fisker' shape and great colour.

Everyone going on the AM track day at Caldwell Park, should look at Craig's profile page. That's how you do it !

Great colours on your new car and love the Wiessman as well. Such a shame they didn't survive as a car maker.

It is a shame,

I drove over to the factory in 2013 and was very impressed with the quality, I think the early cars cost too much to build as all the suspension hangers and lots of chassis parts we made from billet alloy, the front grill on my car started off as a 50kg lump of alloy and was CNC cut to what it is today.

If you google Weismann factory tour you can see what I mean, they even built the factory the same shape as a Gecko which was the embalm of the car .



Liking the Aston though, I had an DB7 about 10 years ago.

Love the Wiesmann, drove one in Monaco a few years back. They deserved to survive, but they were very very expensive. I did love the styling / interior and feel of it.

Ironically it was the expensive building that was responsible for the bankrupt. Real shame.

Really like the external colour and the wheels, bought in Edinburgh?

[woodsypedia]

Lovely car chief. Mine is Almond green outside with a darker green and cream interior - I'm a big green fan

Hi Dave,

Hope your well,

Danny is racing a Caterham in the Mag 7s it's a monster running over 600 hp per tonne, and doing the Civic cup in a sponsored car,

Brett has got back into his clay shooting and won the British Open this year out of 1067 entries, he isn't racing and concentrating on the shooting,

I heard your no longer contending the Tuscan mate, but no doubt see you around at the circuits. .?
