Went to Stoneleigh yesterday, I was only there for three hours. Spoke to an Ultima owner who was selling his car or his miss was, he didn't seem to happy, £45k. Then into hall A-E quick run round there, popped my head into the cars for sale hall, not much there.
Quick watch of the Westy's being ragged around then finally found show halls 1 and 2, spoke to a guy who built a roaster back in 2012 and had since built 3 other more expensive cars and was now doing key turn builds for MEV's Aston Martin replica which looks ace.
I was then stopped dead in my tracks by this......
After staring and drooling for 20 minutes I finally dragged myself away spoke to westfield about the s2000 car and dimensions and then had a long chat with Canems ECU's and the Road Runner Racing guys. Some clever mx5 engine tricks going on there and the SR2 chassis design is on another level better than caterham or westfield in my opinion. Bought a QR boss from rally design quick look at the show stopping Supercharged Ultima, more drooling and then I was heading back to the car.
So many 7 types it was a bit overwhelming. There are some M3 donor 7's there but with the enormous wheels, look like you could go off road with the ground clearance. A lot of haynes roadster look a like chassis there too.
Think I'm going to concentrate on more power with my car over the next year start the double garage build at the bottom of the garden and then "maybe" start thinking about creating an uprated fully triangulated round tube roadster chassis. LOL I can't believe I've just typed that.
Oh btw on the way back from screw fix the other day, about half a mile from home we heard a chirping noise, weird. When I sorted the oil sender issue I noticed I was missing something......
Couldn't get one on Saturday but should be able to pick one up today hopefully. Bought that belt 4 years ago when the original donor spat it's one off, only lasted 50 miles!
