What Westfield would you go for?

1) I am looking for something that goes like stink.
2) As wildly impractical as can be – no wet weather gear for me!
3) Has pin sharp handling on the twisty stuff – think Alpine mountain pass.
4) As loud as you like.

V8, Pinto or Bike engine all considered.

Would have loved an Ultima but the ground clearance is just too low for the driveway.

is it the sports 2000 new one which has the straight cut sequential gearbox and a 260bhp duratec?

well that would be highly impractical whilst making stupid noise from both the engine and the gearbox!!!

Have you considered getting a quote to get your driveway improved? Seems like a sad reason not to get an Ultima if all else is a go.

I guess you are worried about the angle between the street and a steep driveway? Maybe some kind of james bond motorised ramp that flips out onto the street when you are ready to leave or arrive?

Well a XTR2 or XTR4 meets all of those criteria

Except that one

Best of luck with whatever you choose

I live in Italy and the drive to the house is 2KM long and the roads round me just a bit too uneven for the Ultima (I keep catching the bottom in a Golf !)
