I didn’t realise you have a Caterham, is it a recent acquisition? I’ve had a Westfield track car for 20 years now and there’s no comparison for driving experience

Nice one! 8)

Yes and I've only had it since last September so I'm still getting to know it. I'm really looking forward to the better weather now for sure.

You will love it, when you get an open road....Its such a raw experience, my Westy has around 200bhp, but much less than half the weight of the Z4.

Thanks.

Mine is only 140bhp from a 1.8 K-series engine, however because it only weighs around 550kg, it still feels lively though I reckon(especially for a naturally aspirated engine).

2 Months in and getting along nicely.

The handling is quite something

A well-set up K series is a joyful thing in a light car like a Seven or Elise, you're going to have great fun with it in the summer. I'd rather like an S2000-engined or bike-engined Westfield, but I already have more cars than space

It's actually the opposite as the front LSD gives it an awful lot of grip. Pretty certain it would run rings around my M140i which would end up in a hedge :?

Looks to do quite well in stock form on the track

Love that An Empire Stormtrooper in a blue suit. 8) Well set up FWD is hard to fault on the road. Had a few Clios drive away from my old ///M on wet twisty roads and my even older Fiat Coupe used to eat M3s and happily keep pace with skoobies, back in the day.

Thanks alot, it is a very confidence inspiring car to drive quickly whereas my 140i, great in a straight line but I've always been wary of it with no rear LSD which is what it really needs. Shame its only a retro fit.

New Mini

Great colour

Reminds me of my 2003 MINI, ride was back breaking as it came on runflats when new. Supercharged engine wasn't bad for a Chrysler

I wouldn’t have parked that close to someone with a hoodie

Daily is a 2013 330D, a bit of a dinosaur as not Ulez etc but puts a smile on my face. I think of it as a mullet haircut, business up front and a hooligan on the weekends. They really do shift even with just a stage 1 remap.

Yes I know, I lived there for over 40 years. God awful place, never got on with the locals, looks better now though as they have tarted up the seafront and replaced the railings in the Strand gardens

it’s gone now.

JL has gone back to a Mini Cooper S. walked in to the Cambridge Mini dealership to look at a used example and came away with this beautiful car. The Fiat was v pretty but this is a seriously good machine to be in as well as look at. Brilliant purchase experience too. So we now have the 23i Z4, a 2013 CLS M-B, and the Cooper-S
