Lee's got my 26 year old V8 90 Land Rover at the moment and I would imagine it went something like impressing the local chavs with some V8 exhaust growl down the high street (it goes quite well) followed by suddenly realising your going too fast in 2.5 tonnes of pig iron with brakes that have decided to take the day off!

Eric rocks!
Who needs brakes when you can just run over or drive through anything that gets in your way anyway!
more pics. Steves been modding my diff casing so that it mounts like a 7.5' diff. Which is much better and also easier for Stu to fit as well (apparently! I have no clue!)
Proalloy almost done now!
Proalloy have also moved the Fuel pump and now the tanks has no sump... this is to make way for the fook off rear Carbon diffuser thats being fitted!

Apparently the diffuser has a three fold effect
Reduced drag from the rear fuel tank area which typically acts as a parachute without underfloor covering
Downforce creation from low pressure area created by aerodynamic profile of the diffuser - increased further as the channels aid the airflow keeping it attached to the contour of the diffuser
Cleanliness! - covering the underside rear quarter of the car as such helps to keep the dust, mud and much from coating your suspension, diff and fuel tank!
I also think its gonna look pretty cool

all sounds perfectly reasonable, as i said, definately a rear undertray as well as a rear diffuser with how long it is.
Hope it goes on and off easily though as it will be covering a lot of servicable items when its in place I would imagine.

You can have a drive on track mate.
or come over one evening and have a go on the road.
Its a remarkably civilsied and fun road car for cruising around the lanes. Its just as much fun going slowly as it is fast. 99% of the time though I seem to engage maximum attack mode...

I really don't know how you can cope with the Westy being off the road in all this nice weather. I've done nearly 2000 miles since April in my Westfield. It must be driving you insane.
