    My first Donington GP experience!

    Do you mean cars or drugs? Do people really deal drugs on track days? πŸ˜‚

    My first Donington GP experience!

    You're gonna have to explain that one to me please Rob πŸ˜‚

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    Yep, my Westfield with full cage is super stiff compared to some kits I've been in with just a roll bar.

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    I had one on my Tiger. Didn't realise it was only cosmetic until I looked one day and saw it was just bolted on with one nut and bolt each side and could probably be bent to 90Β° by a strong wind πŸ˜‚

    New Stoneleigh Show 2026- The Replica and self build Festival

    The Kit and Sports Car Show at Lincoln is the one I was thinking of. It's on at the end of this month I believe? Although I also hear it's been cancelled?
  7. Wrong thread mate, should be in Bad Pun of the Day πŸ˜›
  8. Fine for home, but what about in the car?
  9. Today

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    I did try searching, but unfortunately, the old faithful sites with parts weights seem to have finally succumbed to time and disappeared. (not really surprised, they must have been twenty or more years old at this point, with the old owners not having much involvement for some time).

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    Not a lot, compared to the others, but then it is NOT a safety device and is not structural, it's a cosmetic item, although on an FW it does act as the rear support for the roof.

    1st Sept Donington Track evening

    I think that's at least 7 of us signed up now! Great mix of cars too πŸ‘ Still a few spots left

    New Stoneleigh Show 2026- The Replica and self build Festival

    Instead of seeing this as a reason not to attend, see it as a reason to attend: volunteer, camp over, get fed and watered for free!
  14. Not sure.. Can't say I've noticed one
  15. Yea, I've done 50,000 miles in it.. πŸ‘
  16. Yea, I know they didn't move through choice, but their choice could have been in the centre of the country! It added an hour to the drive! Stoneleigh is the shorter of the x2 screenshots. The showground selected moved further to the south/West.. Making a day journey impossible now. It was just possible previously.

    Bad day

    My prediction's an MK.
  18. Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    my old RAC bar was quite heavy - something like 12kg I think, so changing to a full cage only picked up about 15kg total, but I felt the increased body stiffness was immediately obvious on the road, so a great improvement just for that.
  19. Flying Carrot Steve

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    I've often wondered how much a cage weighs, that's helpful info for me ta @Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO helps me compare my heavy old thing weight-wise to cars without a full cage. Anyone know how much an MSA/RAC or Jap bar weighs? Hopefully I've got the correct names this time? πŸ˜‚
  20. Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO

    Disadvantages of a full Cage ?

    It's quite light (well under 30kg) so easy to hang from the ceiling while fitting and just lift/lower a few times while carefully drilling the holes with step drills etc

    Bad day

    I won't be rushing into anything, I'm away on a road trip to the Alps in a couple of weeks and will be towards the end of September before I'm back.
  22. Flying Carrot Steve

    Bad day

    Get another Westie @Craigieboy, maybe this one? Β£24,950 but Β£24k on WSCC for sale ads. It's a lot but what a car! If I didn't already have the Carrot I reckon that would be in my garage by now πŸ˜‚ https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18612193
  23. I always found that removing carpets and drilling holes in the floor was the best option 🀣

    Bad day

    My condolences, I know how much passion and attachment theses cars create within us. A sad day indeed, I wish you well on the next part of your car journey. Hopefully you can find a suitable alternative for that dopamine hit. A Lotus maybe?

    Sigma / Zetec SE Engine mounts

    Thanks for the reply. Might be a good starting point for me to modify I'm interested, I wonder which ones would be the closest match
  26. Just bought my self a Halfords cover as a back up!!

    Silverstone Festival 22nd to 24th August 2025

    You’ll see plenty of open cars left open too! Just make sure if there’s is anything left in there, it’s well tucked away, not valuable, and not likely to get blown out of the car or anything overnight, the circuit is a big open place, so does occasionally get windy.
