Like other US-based Westfield owners, I've always wondered just how many of us there are out there - how many who own an orphaned roller skate of a car that stops traffic and places a maniacal grin on whomever is lucky enough to be behind the wheel?  One day I got tired of wondering and decided it was finally time for a Westfield registry for North American cars. The purpose of the North American Westfield Registry is fourfold: quantify the number of the cars in the US; enable owners to identify each other; broaden our awareness of possible modifications/setups for our cars; and identify whom to contact when looking for someone who has "been there, done that."

If you own a Westfield in the US, know of one that isn't listed here, or have additional historical information on a car that is listed here, then please send an e-mail to nawr@throttle-steer.com with the relevant information and (if available) a picture no larger than 425 pixels wide. To contact any owner about his car, simply replace NOSPAM in the owner's name field with @ and e-mail away (e.g. bobNOSPAMyahoo.com is actually bob@yahoo.com --isn't learning fun?). And now the cars...
