West7se

NOT a dutton you say, how so? Just spend a bleeding hour argueing with this prick

I hate the germans

The idiot has finnaly posted a link to the car in question http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dutton_S1_1600ccm100PS_1975.JPG

I cant hold off anymore, you just have to read this http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=30&t=707959&mid=161144&i=0&nmt=Anyone recognise type of this this 7 style car ?&mid=161144 You can guess my nick on there, its Rich7se I am losing it with this german no it all. GRRRRRRRRRRRR very annoyed Rich

, thats a good one.

Ok thats great thanks Rich

I know , he is a rather arrogant person. He has just shot me down again, when I questioned him on how he knows its on Spitfire susp as appossed to GT6/herald/vitesse, he responded "because it looks like spitfire..and when it looks like spitfire..it is spitfire!!" Not to worry, he obviously knows far more than me....... NOT. How the hell you can tell that its Spitty susp from those pics I will never know. Anyway no news from my email as yet, I`m not that confident in getting a reply but you never know. Thanks for the link, unfortunatly I cant read that......, knew I should have studied harder at school . However in my quest for infomation, I have found a wiki link which explains things a bit better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_car_number_plates Rich

Well depending on the state of the bores and the sizes of the existing pistons, yes I may well go for a bit bigger. Agree on the 234 cam, from posts I have read on some Ford sites this does seem to be the best one for street and the odd trackday. I have been reading the oil thread on here with some interest, so yes I will make sure about the zinc addititive the next time I refill it. You seem to have the same issues that we have, first they stopped the old 4 star fuel, then they want all old cars/engines off the road - when will it ever end. They will be blaming the kitcar industry next for keeping all the old engines going......... anyway they want us to be green, I am, I drive a recycled car - you cant get much greener than that. Rich

I was thinking how much different the car looks without a rear roll over bar, do you have any side shots please. Rich

Hi thanks for getting back to me, just measured it again with calipers this time, its actually 156mm, so I think if it was at 150 this would give me a bit of clearance http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6751/pic0033v.jpg I just painted this one on. Rich

Just had a rather abrupt responce to the fact about the red plates " 779 posts 45 months [report] 00:19 http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/quote.gif did i recognize a spitfire front suspension??? and its not on dealer plates!!!! you have no clue about german registration plates!!! " Some folks do get upset dont they, lol

Saw your ad the other week, I would love one but having measuered the Westies nose, it wont fit - only got 155mm to play with and I dont really want to modify the nose. Do you have any that may fit? Rich EDIT TO ADD if you cut the outside rim off, what size is the `7`part ?.

Well after two hours of searching , I have just emailed the site that you mention with the extra pics on it. I dont know if they will respond as I dont speak German. I will just have to wait now. Rich

Well spotted , I was trying to find more pics myself - well done. I was going to give up, but now I may carry one on this quest. Rich
