Recent purchase.... BIG THANKS to DRZ for giving me a lift to go see/purchase it!

102k on the clock with £2000 spent this year on it!

my gti6 is crying, Im gonna go stroke the leather to make it feel better lol.

In all seriousness, thats well nice! (obviously mine is better though) JOKES:D
 
My 'new' car - just got a phone pic at the mo from when we picked it up from the garage - can just make out my MR2 looking sad in the background :(

Would you believe I fancied a bit of FWD and front engine action for a bit - all I seem to do is drive to work nowadays so why not do it with ABS and traction control :O Decided a Puma was still suitably 'different' from the norm, and the yellow one was a special edition with Recaro seats. Already changed the wheels - it came with 17" cartwheels, and new tyres on the way.

I'm absolutely loving it so far!

Bonnet was on the catch in that pic! Will take some more when I've got my wheels and tyres! It's a bit rough round the edges but hey, aren't we all!
 
Don't think I've posted in here yet.

What do you do when your first car, that you've spent a fair few quid on the motor for, starts rusting away, as all old Ford do?

Build a Westfield out of it so it's spirit lives on!

I built the Westfield between June 2006 and Oct 2008 when it sucessfully passed it's SVA test.

Since then I've done over 20k in it, mostly commuting to ork (it wasn't supposed to be a commuting car but it's so damn fun I can't help myself), a trip to the Nurburgring and numerous road trips around Wale and Scotland. Would you believe, in all that time I've never once been caught out in the rain in it?

Engine as 2ltr Pinto bored to 2.2ltrs, High torque cam, ported head, steel flywheel, arp fasterner kit (rod bolts, big ends and head stud), arp gasket set, Suzuki GSXR throttle bodies run via a Megasquirt V3 ECU, Zex 4port fogger Nitrous kit.

Power is a measured 142bhp and 136lb/ft at the wheels without Nitrous, good for a measured 4.4s 0-60mph and a 12.6s 1/4 mie. I've not run Pod with nitrous yet. Weight is 605kg.

It's currently off the road for the winter whilst I fit a 220bhp 2.3 Cosworth Duratec, although a brand new 2.9ltr 24v V6 Cosworth BOB engine has just come into my possesion, so a slight rework of plans may be in order!

Why did you let her do that? :(

I'm curious - why not? It is a girl we're talking about here, she's hardly going to want an old shape 3 series or a Mondeo or even a Fiesta for that matter, if she's not fond of the looks.
