Stu was very impressed with your instructions for the chip and the closed loop stuff you supplied.

He reckons even I could have followed them... I doubt that!

must say stu is one of those people, that it feels like you've know him for years.

Remember ages ago when we first started chatting on the phone, was like 8 months before we even met.

good write up babe. (even if it did mean you were sat on your arse doing it while I was cooking you dinner!)

Stu really has been awesome. And I can imagine his wife must be sick of the fact he spends the majority of his spare time in the garage!

Fantastic build, even if it has cost stupid amounts of money. Yorik should fly!

I still prefer patrick though!

Drakey, it will will just as difficult as mine I reckon although its highly likely we wont be in a field in York with an antique trolley jack, 4 screwdrivers and a hammer to do the job!

What am I saying.................break what diff?

I reckon it will be fine in Lee's. Mine blew due to the extra shock from my gearbox I reckon......Oh and at least 50 goes of the launch control!!!!! Although it was the 30 stone of me and you, some brand new sticky triple 8's and a manual launch that finally killed it!

The problem with PF is... a few folk were buying M5's and I stated taking notice of them more.. thinking I want one. Now reading through this I really want a Westy lol

They just seem the perfect choice, awesome fun and speed for not too* much money..

* I use this term loosely

thats what I think... but for me its also the pure driving experince and raw feel...

and the light weight means they are VERY cheap to run when you look at things like brakes and tyres and fuel compared with other uberfast cars.

I have driven big fast huge power 4wd cars on tracks for years and fancied the EXACT oppsite...

I LOVED the Westy at ND, when it was slow and pony! SOOO now it should be awesome!

Well thats the plan anyway.
