All Activity

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?

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 🎂🍺
