It's a nice blat over to Ashbourne before we even meet up with Julie's group. Meet at around 9am in Congleton for the "short" run, or if anyone wants anything a little twistier, 8.30am!

  5. We met at the services and Paul was waiting for us in his VX220, we were soon joined by Martyn and Sue and we went for a brew. We took the short journey to the canal festival, Paul had just made a fleeting visit so he peeled off as we turned in to the car park. I like the look of the VX but it wasn't until it filled my rear view mirror that I realised how spicy they look, especially in yellow on a sunny day. We set out our very miniature car show in the car park We went off to have a look at the larger, proper car show within the festival and we bumped into Ian and Pat, who had come in their Westfield too. There was a kit car on show, this Robin Hood 2b, I thought, I know that car, Dave Perry has just sold it, it has a Jag engine. Plans had changed and the fly past was to be by a Dakota, it came past 3 times and sounded sweet as a nut, it was worth coming just to see this

  6. It was a scientific traction control test, m'lud - not a 'stunt' I reckon this cell looks more comfortable than the Stoneleigh camping though.

  9. 31bhp and 220kg with driver so approx 140bhp/ton Top speed in period was around 110mph and they could lap the Brands Hatch Indy circuit in around 62 seconds, averaging 72mph which is roughly 2seconds slower than I can do in my Westfield.

  18. Yeah, there were 2 S2K engine cars down there, mine registered 226 and James registered 227, but on both print outs the curves were still climbing, so would have made 230 definitely. I'll take mine back when I fit the throttle bodies at the end of the year and see what the difference

  21. 153bhp, more than expected! It should be 137 according to the stock figures but apparently it's common for bike engines to read a bit high. The S2k cars were just about 230bhp.

  23. Or is it… About a year ago I posted on this thread that I was hoping to have my car completed and running in time for the 50th Anniversary of that first race, and I’m sure many of you may now be wondering if I managed it or not. Well, in short the answer is no, but I’m now not too far off from my goal and things have moved forward and in quite an unexpected way since February 2013 when I bought my first JW4. In the last 3 years I’ve spoken with and met some quite amazing people each with a unique storey to tell and something to give. My search for parts has taken me as far north in the UK as Blackburn and to the West into Cornwall, and what started with one car became three and is now two. The correspondences have been worldwide, with owners past and present in Canada, America, Belgium, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands all getting in touch. I’ve gone from a car which I knew nothing about that once raced in an almost forgotten Formula to unwittingly becoming the authority for the Johnny Walker JW4 in the UK. The garage is now stacked full of spare parts waiting to be reunited with cars and the rafters are filled with tooling and body moulds; even the house hasn’t escaped, the once empty bookshelves are now filled with a diverse collection of books, period magazines, newspapers and of course drawings. Whilst I may have not yet achieved my goal of having a running car for the 50th Anniversary, this will not stop me celebrating this occasion in some modest style; I am therefore pleased to be able to report that on the Bank holiday Weekend of 29th/30th May my car will be on display at Crystal Palace for Motorsport at the Palace featuring with it a small exhibition on F4, Johnny Walker and the JW4. http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/ For anyone attending the event, please do come and say hello, pick up a free post card and whist there learn a little bit more about Formula Four racing in the 1960’s.

  24. Don't say that Pete - Martin may have brought the rain with him last year. But his luck has changed this year and he brought along the best weather that WSCC has ever been experienced at Harewood last weekend.
