All Activity

I am ok. Nothing broken (including my bike, not sure how), I’m extremely black and blue though. Hit a concrete lined ditch at 35mph plus. Had there been a car coming the other way I think the outcome would’ve been very different. Haha, on this occasion I think you’ll find he copied me! 🤪

Hope you're not too badly hurt mate? Were you trying to copy Chris Froome? 😬

@ianali he got lost in Bewdley last weekend 🫣

That's a shame mate, hope you are ok!

Meet 7.30pm (or 7 ish, if eating) at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley.

Is it orange by any chance? 😂🙄🙄

Due to an increasing Labrador family, and hence the need to have a ‘practical’ 2nd car, I have had to make the painful decision to part with my much-loved Westfield. This is a factory-built car that I bought through Westfield as a 2nd owner. Vehicle registered new in 2001, I purchased in 2003 and it has been with me ever since. Jenvey / Dunnell engine upgrades all undertaken by Noble Motorsports at Chesterfield. Rolling road results (Northampton Motorsport) gave 187 BHP with the original ‘restrictive’ Westfield exhaust manifold fitted; this has since been upgraded to the Dunnell manifold (new BHP and Torque figures unknown!) Mileage is genuine and only 19,672 (full record of all MOT’s, receipts, etc) Most recent MOT undertaken in July ’25 (no advisory’s) along with full wheel alignment geometry checks / adjustments undertaken by Track Torque (Tockwith), along with rear wheel bearing replacements. This car has been meticulously maintained throughout my ownership, as demonstrated by the specification below. The bodywork has some crazing in the fibreglass as you’d expect for a Westfield of this age. Don’t really want to sell, but given I’m going to have to, I’d like it to stay within the WSCC if possible. £12,800 ono The car is located near York.

Sadly can’t make this anymore. I came off my road bike on a descent whilst in Spain over the bank holiday weekend……

Sorry for the radio silence guys (work got in the way). Thank you all so much for all the responses, really appreciated. Plenty of options there for me to consider now. I'm not going to be able to make the Curborough event this Friday I'm afraid, but it does sound appealing having watched a few videos. I will look out for future events.

Looks like you’ll need an automatic 👍

You may well not be even slightly interested 😂 but if you fancy an Italian beauty give me an email hughtranter1000@gmail.com

Sorry can't make this one I shall be at the Clipper round the world race start event

I’m currently selling a Moto Guzzi 850 v7 stone 2022 model to fund a Westie, a possible swap if you were at all interested? cheers Hugh

We’re coming …… just getting prepared 🤔 for all eventualities 🤣

Ha! Ha! only picking them up Saturday night.

If you can measure the diameter of the bar, then they will be able to get it spot on for you.

Looks great how much longer should the straps be? Did you provide them dimensions? Mines an FW I assume it would be the same sizes as yours? Thanks

No water left in the canals, so we might as well drive up. See you Sunday 👍

Your not flying their plane in are you?

This cracking little tool kit from (spit) Halfords. Nice and thin to fit behind a seat and room for some extras like fuses and more zip ties.

We'll will be there weather permitting 😁 and that our daughter and boyfriend aren't to late getting back from Sri Lanka 🤞

If you need cheering up or fancy a little chuckle, have a watch of this.... I have absolutely no idea why but it definitely made me think of kit car life 😂

Yeah, go on then!

As @Rusty Nuts says, the Curborough guys are great. I did one of the "Introduction to Sprinting" sessions there a couple of years ago. Very informative and enjoyable, I had some laps as a passenger in the instructors stripped Clio 182 before taking him out in my Westfield to get some tips. There's always help on here too, for instance @Alex Gaskin volunteered (well, maybe I nagged him a little!) to give me a few pointers round Donington which was brilliant as he is a very competitive driver in the Sprint Series. The circuit was damp and I was on semi slicks but it was really useful to get his feedback on my driving (although I did take him for a trip to the very scenic beach at Coppice at one point 😂😂).
