What to take on a road trip to Austria
Matt_S replied to Jonboy's topic in Places to Visit and Road Trips
When I drove down to Marseille last year I took the following; Tools Selection of common size spanner's Ratchet multi-bit screw driver Wire snips Small 1/2” drive socket handle and socket for wheel nut (19mm), just in case I had to take the wheel off I could stand on it to break them Small 1/4” socket set (Bacho SL25) Torch Pocket knife Allen key set Crimps Spares & Consumables Throttle cable Clutch cable Alternator belt Spare bulbs Fuses Cable ties Electrical tape Self amalgamating tape Crimp connectors - selection Gloves (latex) Selection of nuts and bolts Duct tape Selection of electrical wire I think that’s it 🤣 I managed to get most of it into an old wash bag and stored it behind both seat's. What I couldn’t fit into the wash bag I put into plastic bags, to keep dry if any rain. It’s quite surprising how much space is behind the seats to store stuff 👍🏼 -
Does anybody have a cheap v8 bonnet that i can cut and shut to fit over my carbs. I am flexible on Condition, but bare in mind i intend to chop it up. Idealy old type v8 bonnet without the locating lugs Cheers Jason

What to take on a road trip to Austria
Kingster replied to Jonboy's topic in Places to Visit and Road Trips
Grossglockner is pretty epic - take good quality wet weather gear! Although maybe not so much rain in August, but when it rains, it’s biblical. There’s a pass that has a set of lights to make it one way traffic, that’s ace. Will try and find it. Must find out where this was too 🤣 -
Hi all, in August I’m going to visit friends in Vienna so plan to make it a little touring trip. Plans so far are ferrry to Rotterdam, Grossglockner first then track day at Red Bull Ring in Spielberg then onto Vienna. For a general trip abroad, any tips on what spares to take, previous experiences that others may have had that would benefit someone doing this trip please. cheers, John

If you are interested please let me know so I can make sure you are on the list -
Simon used to compete regularly in the Speed Series, in an narrow body Westfield. My abiding memory is having had a passenger ride in his car, I was stuck in the seat, and could only get out by Simon hauling me out by my armpits!

Quick update, it seems we won't be able to park in the paddock and will be parking in the car park at Redgate. Should be a Marshall at the gate to point the way 👍 -

Donington - Masters Historic Test Day 19th March 2024
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary posted a topic in Local Area Meets, Events & Kit Car Shows
The weather is looking Westfield friendly so I'll be heading up to Donington to watch some of the Masters Historic Racing test day. https://mastershistoricracing.com/race-series Spectators are free and all areas are accessible apart from the pits, pitwall and garages. If you're at a loose end and fancy joining me, I'll be planning to get there for 10am 👍 Hopefully I'll be parking up near Garage 39. -

Loved reading this thread! I am a lowly Learner Driver, which is probably a true reflection of both my driving ability and knowledge of a Westfield! 🤣 Hoping to be an Average Joe Driver one day in the not too distant future…..

Mallory Park Speed Series - Sunday 24th March
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary posted a topic in Local Area Meets, Events & Kit Car Shows
We have a number of the WSCC Speed Series guys in action at Mallory Park on Sunday so we will be going along to spectate and cheer them on! Assuming the weather is kind we will get the cars out and meet at the Ashby de la Zouch KFC/Starbucks services (LE65 1JP) for a 9am departure, aiming to land at Mallory about 930am. If the weather isn't Westfield friendly, we will going in the tin tops 👍 Alternatively, you can just meet us at Mallory. Oh, and spectators are free! If you park overlooking the pit straight you will be able to cross the circuit on foot via the bridge and get into the paddock to see the drivers and cars 👍
