All Activity

I get back from work on 15th, so im going to try and make this one.

Sounds good. Will look for event. Thanks Martin. Tim

Thanks. Great to meet some of you at the show.

We'd still welcome suggestions for a Westfield friendly (and secure given we'll have all our gear in the cars) within 30 mins drive of Hull Ferry Port. ideally one with outside seating with a view of the cars (Yes, we're paranoid!). One we've had suggested is - Darley's- https://maps.app.goo.gl/DWygqvxGYrcPKMJS6

The tighter wound end goes at the bottom

Just a note in case anyone is interested. GBS Cars and Coffee at their factory at Maun Way, Boughton, Ollerton, Nottingham, NG22 9ZD Last time this was really good and normally the cake is plentiful 😁

Progressive springs courtesy of @DamperMan Can anyone who's already fitted them, let me know if there's a top and bottom. Or does it not matter what way round you fit them?

I’m trying to sort someone to transport my car from the Loughborough area to Bailey Performance on 26th June. Unfortunately Iain Hooker can’t help me on this occasion. Anyone got any other suggestions / able to help? TIA

Fingers crossed but it won’t be in a Westfield.

I will do my best to get there. Mark

Looks good. I’m disappointed I couldn’t make it. I jumped in the car yesterday and it wouldn’t start, nothing at all from the starter motor. I did some advanced diagnostics (I hit it with a hammer and it started clicking but still not starting) and it looks like I need a new starter motor. Given that it’s been on the car 28 years now and it may have been second hand then, it’s probably fair to say I’ve got my moneys worth out of it. It was nice of it to stop working at home rather than at Malvern or Tintern, so I’m thankful for that. still, a bit gutted I couldnt make it, please come back over another time please.

@BobMet never attended myself, but I used to live not far from there and had an MX5 then. The local MX5 club used to participate and always raved about how good it was.

You can sign on now. The website has your car number now. See you there in a few days, looks wet on Saturday but Sunday looks dry.

If anyone else is interested in joining us on Sunday, we'll be meeting at Rothwell Sports Centre, LS26 8EL at 9:30.

Anyone been to or participated in the Bromyard Speed Festival before, or perhaps attending this year? Being fairly local I put in a booking request and have been accepted to join in and to run the Westfield on the hill climb. I've never visited the event before but saw the closing date was looming so just went for it. Any intel from previous entrants or spectators would be appreciated.

...a rapid raspberry! 😆 ...that made me laugh

Now offering dashes that have been trimmed for a small extra cost

Deposit taken provisionally sold.

No not really. I've looked at loads, you know what it's like, the grass is greener etc. Except it's not! I just bid so I get updates via text etc. I'm currently watching about 8 cars in various auctions. I'm considering changing my car life, maybe getting something more usable. Trouble is I love the Carrot so letting it go won't be easy. Also I'm considering the idea of buying auctioned cars and selling them on. The cars with no reserve can often be good buys. It's a lot of work and hassle though. I have a mate who buys and sells Cateringvans and does very well out of it.

Pencil me in. replied on what’s app group.

And having a cheeky bid I see! Are you looking for a Rapid Raspberry to replace the Flying Carrot?

Yep, been watching it.

I know this is quite a long shot, but worth trying. Do you have a full cage for a SEiW, which you don't mind strapping on a pallet? I can send a courier at your address to collect it. Paint condition not important, as long as the cage is structurally sound. PM me if the above is ok with you. Thanks.

Good stuff Paul, a lovely setting as I was reminded when we drove past going to and from Malvern.
