Brand new not unwrapped. Purchased the kit and not needed as I have the side bars on the chassis. Iam in Kent, can post £40

Anyone else joining us at GBS tomorrow? The home-made cakes are excellent!

Took my road Westfield out of the Chinese Car Bubble after winter. I did not touch the bubble except for removing snow (the Car Bubble and Carcoon collapse in the same way under fresh snow). Looks like the bubble worked very well. I also added a regular old car cover (creating something like a two-layer cover inside, not connected to the bubble). So – the disc brakes are shiny and clean, completely rust-free, just like in a Carcoon. Battery was disconnected with kill switch, alarm disabled. No battery charging (18Ah gel type motorcycle rgular battery ) Engine started on one key turn like I left it yesterday Driving was great, little cold, but great!

put my rollcage on yesterday the lads at my local meet said it would be much safer than my rac bar not so sure about that banged my head on it 3 times already just doing some work on the interior.

Baggy appears again in the Caribbeano thanks to our Tony aka Bigfoot.

Took a wee spin over to JP Exhausts for them to make a link pipe to fit the new silencer on. Well recommended and seem to know what they’re on about, so hoping for a neat job. Means the Westfield is out of action for a few days, but that’s no problem as we’re doing the Tour of Cheshire regularity rally on Saturday in the Spitfire

FIngers crossed!

Suns out

Not meeeee. Sadly!

Had these two bad boys out last night to look at Jupiter. They are both Japanese Takahashi scopes, one new and one quite old. The shorter one is a 180mm reflector type, only about 6 months old, the long one is a 128mm refractor, over 20 years old I think but gives lovely views still. The Great Red Spot was centre stage at around 9pm, so I had great views. The image below was taken by a chap called Keith Johnson on my Astro forum, and I have detuned it so it gives a very rough approximation of the view through the eyepiece. In some aspects the eyepiece view is better, some worse, it’s hard to exactly replicate it. The spot itself was a lovely orange colour, it does change over time in both size and colour.

Have a great day @TOF41

Meeee!!!

Sorry we can't make this one as I'm working

Meet at The Great British Car Journey, Ambergate, DE56 2HE for breakfast before heading off into the Peak District for a run out. We will be taking the exact route we took at our last meet because we loved it that much, this time we are able to finish at the Calver Arms for lunch (no local derby on the football screen this week) Weather is forecast good at the moment, please check on here before travelling just in case it changes and I have to cancel. All welcome at the museum, members only on the run out, keep it fair to those that pay. Who is able to join us?

All items now SOLD!!

It's not gone anywhere, just a bit far as it's motorways all the way from Leeds, or about an 8 hour journey without.

Been quiet on here for a while, probably the rubbish weather! I popped my solar scope out at lunchtime and had some decent views today, nice to be out again. Will have a look at Jupiter tonight as the Great Red Spot will be visible at around 9pm.

Provided I get it MOT's and Taxed, the Westie. Its been SORN since last September Wheres yours gone Robin?

More bits for the XI... Handbrake lever with bracket for warning switch. Needs to be loosened off somewhat.... Handbrake switch. Handbrake mounting bracket. Couldn't be bothered to de-rust and repaint the one I have for the price of a new one... Mounting screws. Existing ones are very chewed and may need drilling out....
