Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'? Well it might be a Westfield and not a hot rod FORD but it sounds good. (Younger generation please google Hank Williams).Vicki @Steve Bosworth. We met at Quacker's cafe, it was freeeeezing and a bit cloudy but we were all glad to be out on a dry forecast. Car park. Jake, our photographer for the day, was taking some snazzy shots too. Inside Quacker's Cafe, nice and warm despite me suggesting we sit outside and Glen suggesting we didn't 😆 It's not the first time today we were all thanking Glen. Next we went on the run out, a route devised by Glen and what a cracker it was, thank you for the second time today, Glen 😍. A slight delay to the set off as Glynn had to change his shoes (not the stilleto's, that's this evening's club😮). Paul and Margaret were coming on the run and then disappearing early to get ready for a few months in Europe in the van, see you in June! We were booked in for lunch at The Bike and Boot, Hope Valley. A new build hotel for activity breaks and very welcoming to car clubs. Bike and Boot car park The menu is amazing, Glen had paella, not our usual kind of food Inside Bike and Boot We needed dessert after that so off we went to The Pavillion at Baslow and were greeted by the usual selection of sicklyness We sat outside and enjoyed our cakes in the warm sunshine We sit overlooking our beautiful cars. A man with a massive camera came over and asked if we raced them, we replied, 'No officer' 😁 The Pavillion Cafe overlooking the sports field and car park A brilliant day out, a good laugh, surprisingly quiet roads and establishments. Thanks for keeping the convoy together with all your excellent driving, it makes my life easier. Thank you to Glynn for guarding the rear of the convoy, also giving me peace of mind that everyone is looked after. See you all next time.

This bolt for the banjo was loose letting fuel onto the distributor. Could have been nasty.

It's a regular stop for us after visiting grandchildren! The trike pictured was longer and wider than the Westfield, probably a similar weight, but a hell of a lot more powerful!!

Not been there for years, some lovely bikes used to frequent that diner. We saw, fleetingly, a big old trike this morning pulling what appeared to be a trailer tent/caravan.. massive it was!

Clutch cover sold to Simon

Wow @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO that looks bad and a potential close call! What went wrong?

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator I’ll take the clutch cable, take it to Malvern I’ll pick it up there cheers Andy

Paul Meyer has just entered for Saturday

I'll have the clutch cover please Regards Simon

A lunch stop at The Long Itch Diner. The trike came along and parked next to us. It's powered by a 4.2 litre Audi V8!!!!!!

Good turnout this morning with 6 cars, plus a motorbike and 2 real cars. Sorry, but I was one of those as I appear to have had a little fire under the bonnet!

I've done a bit of karting in the past, mainly doing historic demos. I have always like the idea of doing Sprints and Hillclimbs as you are the only car on track. I understand I could enter my Westfield in the road going class but wondered what sort of cage would be required if any other than the standard Westfield roll hoop and would I need to fit 4 point harnesses rather then the 3 points it currently has. Although a standard road car with a roof doesn't require either I seem to remember reading something about open top kit cars but not sure where. Is this a thing or did I imagine it ?

Finally got myself a good sized double garage for the convertibles 😊. Anyone want a tea chest FoC?

F in idiot in a battery car

I’m after an exhaust centre section. I’m ok with one that has the ole death rattle - as plan to repair and then swap. Let me know what you have lying around! Thanks v m W

Cooling down after a great morning run to The Danery, Quatford with Mrs G first thing, then another run out locally with Mini G afterwards. Great day for it, but didn't see much else of interest on the roads.

I would agree with all the above and add that it is worth getting out to join one of your local area meets - Westfield owners are a friendly bunch, if slightly mad…🤪, and always like looking over another car as every one is different.

Being a relatively new owner myself (bought car in Nov24), I would say go through the car front to back. Put a spanner on every nut and bolt check for stripped poor condition fastener's, and replace where required(use nylock nuts) Free off any seized ball joints, rears get neglected as there hidden away. Check condition of suspension bushes while your in there. After that replace fluids, bleed brakes, check pads and disks. Mine was a factory built car and came with a folder of invoices, mainly from the first two owners. The car when viewed presented well, unfortunately the last owner had not maintained it very well. After you have checked it over, the most important bit - fuel it up and enjoy driving it!

Without wishing to be a boring old F**t….. 😆 If you’ve not driven a Westfield before, just remember they are lightweight, relatively powerful, rear wheel drive cars and can catch you out if not aware of how they drive. Nothing to be fearful of, but well worth getting used to it over a period of time, don’t go balls your first time in it! Doing your own maintenance on the car as much as possible really helps you understand it better. I won’t add to the advice already given as it covers everything already, but I do agree with the fuel gauge comment. I once ran out of fuel on a left hand bend on a dual carriageway with no hard shoulder. Not fun and taught me to fill up sooner rather than later. Enjoy the car, they really are great fun.

Oh no, thought because I hadn’t definitely said yes I wasn’t included, sorry Julie

The fuel gauge is for amusement only and not to be trusted. Fill up every 100 miles and avoid the panic when the gauge plunges from just about 1/3rd of a tank to near empty after 2 miles.

Many happy returns, Alex, from Mr & Mrs H.

Have a great day @Alex Gaskin 🎂🍺

Thanks Terry. I have just entered for the weekend.
