Wiv it being faker hunting season and all on JW at the moment, i'd just like to back up my claims, wiv a few pics! Oh and i just found a host and wanna show em off!!!! Cheers beaver.

Rite 1st pic, a few months ago, when we had teh westfield and M3, which have since been sold. The westfield to my godfather, so i still see if often.
The westfield has a 1.6 lotus twin cam engine, that is bored, head ported polished, and twin webber 40's. The car was built for hill climbing by the magazine cars and car conversions, then converted for road use, then went through a few other owners b4 it got to us. It wasnt as quick as it should have been, was badly in need of a tune up and you always felt vulnerable in it, being so bloody small!!
The M3 was a non-evo version (283 bhp 5 speed) it was a fantastic car, my dad had it for 80000 miles as a replacement for his chipped sierra sapphire cossie, that went like shit of a shovel but didnt have the quality of the bimmer!!

The landrover is a 300tdi, with an allard motorsport full width intecooler, and fuel adjustment to suit.

So the M3 and westfield were sold, and to replace, a shiny new 330 ci!!

And to finish a pic of my focus in its current state:

K&N induction kit, heatshield, ashley competition exhaust, lowered 35mm on spax springs, an alpine T303 amp and type s 12 inch sub, aerospeed 18 inch RS-GT's.
Soon to be done is, new rear lights (this weekend) an ST 170 manifold, bluefinn chip, new front discs, fluid and mintex 1144 pads.

Any comments on the line up welcome. Oh, me bro who recently passed his test is boming around in a 1.6 5 door black ford focus.

Cheers, Adam

I'm sure you already posted that first pic, but nice to see again the lineup

and moved to the right section

coombsie66 · 02-18-2004, 05:04 PM

Lol, oh yeah, this would be a more appropriate place for it! damn ur quick TT!!!
I may have posted that b4 ur right, i cant remember. But 4 all the newbies to c here it is!!

TT · 02-18-2004, 05:05 PM

Sure and the 330Ci is new

anyway the E39 M5 is still my fav of the family

coombsie66 · 02-18-2004, 05:08 PM

Same, but i think for pimp cruising potential in the summer, the chicks may dig the 330 cab more. Or at least thats what i hope!!!!
The E39 should become an E60 when bmw get their fingers out of their asses and release it!!!!!

Mags?? Im guessing you mean wheels, as they r the only real distinct modification on my car. They r 18 inch aerospeed RS-GT's with toyo proxes t1-s 215/35/zr18 rubber.
Cheers 4 the compliments, IMO it looks a fuck load better than it did standard!!

Jon_s i think we'll b part exing but if u cud come up wiv a gud (real) offer, mite be interested!!!

And GIS, ive told u, i aint falling for that, you said i cud drive your/dads/mums car, when i was drunk!!!

Cool bout ur cousin tho! He found one yet!?

gis · 02-19-2004, 12:38 PM

he aint found one yet,we have only just got him into the idea of cars (finally) so he is about to start learning,his brother is about a month/month and a half from his test and he is gettin a ford KA (i know i know,he has female taste) and my auntie has 2 escorts so him sayin he will get a focus will happen,they are a ford family.but the pics u sent me sure changed his mind,he was always yeah i wanna drive and i like the focus,so i know showin him your pics would help and it did,lol

coombsie66 · 02-19-2004, 04:08 PM

LOL, yeah, keep bidding, and add another 3 zero's on and u mite get there in another few weeks!!! Aint selling yet nyway, wait to see what the new M5 is like, as at the moment there is nothing that would sway us from wat weve got at the moment.
When it does come to selling tho, ours is immaculate, and i think its got about 10k miles on it. We dont use it too often, to nice to wreck!!

TT · 02-19-2004, 04:10 PM

10k miles only?!?! Shit!! I bet all of them were just done moving the cars for the group pic!!

coombsie66 · 02-19-2004, 04:32 PM

^^LMAO, yeah, they r all miles in 1st gear, me just moving it round the forecourt!!!!lol
I think its around 10k, mite b around 20 now, i aint lived at home 4 a year and a bit (other than holls) so i dont know how much dad uses it now, i dont think its much tho. Only special occasions!!

Oh and speed fetish fulfullment!

Garretts_turbo · 02-20-2004, 01:19 PM

Nice looking rides, i must say. the focus does look much better with the new wheels. the focus is one of the only hatchbacks that i like. the westfield looks like it would be a lot of fun.
