The Cars
Westfield SE 1660cc
Nic's answer to a mid life crisis! Car is gradually being modified and is getting quicker, thanks to an LSD and Quick Rack, wider wheels and Yokos have also made a big difference, Still thinking about fitting a 4AGE Toyota to replace the aging x-flow.

Escort Mk2 1600
Ben's road/competition car a fairly standard Mk2 with 1600 crossflow, fitted with twin 40's. We have used this car on a couple of Autotests and Ben has used it at the Dunkeswell Sprint in 2005 and we shared the car for the Chivenor Sprint in Class A2, not competitive against the Lotus Elise's, but still a lot of fun.

Peugeot 205 GTi 1600
Autocross Class A1
Sprint Class A2

This car was bought for the final two rounds of the 2003 Autocross Championship after the BMW became terminally ill. Other than adding the fire extinguisher, mudflaps and the knobblies the car was completely standard.
Ben used this car for the odd Sprint or two, before Autocrossing it for a final time in 2004, after which the car was sold.

BMW 325i
Class A2

Rear Wheel Drive and lots of power, the ideal recipe for fun! Not your everyday autocross car, but so far has proved to be very competitive (well at least in Ben's hands). This car completed 8 of the 10 rounds before the cylinder head cried enough. Another donor car was purchased and the beast was back out again for 2004, only for the engine to blow yet again on its 3rd event of the year. Car has now been destroyed.

Autotest Mini 998cc
Class A

The Mini has been in the family since 1990 and has twice finished 2nd overall in the ASWMC Autotest Championship (1991 & 1997). Nic rolled the car towards the end of the1991 season and the car was rested for a while and then reshelled in 1994. From mid 1991 the car was fitted with a modified 1046cc, which gave the 1275's a good run for their money, this engine died on the penultimate round of the 97 Championship, limping to the finish of the last test, just 7.5 seconds short of the class win, which would have sealed the championship.
The car was sold in 2004.
