Thanks guys lots of useful advice. As its an insurance repair I don't think I can make repairs prior to claims process , so I have got in touch with loton and castle Coombe about pulling out , fingers crossed I get credit notes or refund as over subscribed events

If you haven’t got things hanging from the ceiling, you’re not utilising all the space 😀

Agree with this..also looks like your sides are black so shouldn't be colour match issues and would be far better than repair.. assuming new parts is available

If it’s going through insurance I would push for replacing the whole rear tub. Unlike the ZK bodywork which includes the side panels the FW is a much easier job being only the rear panel. Removing it will also then give you the opportunity to check for any hidden damage at the same time.

Mark, these people are down the road from you and may be able to help https://soundcomposites.co.uk/custom-composites-product-manufacture/ will you be able to patch it up enough to still do Loton next month ?

I'm ok slow speed impact and a 4 point harness kept me secure. The front of his ford Puma is a mess, broken bumper, various plastic bits fell off and the bonnet is bent. I think my roll bar ate his car.

Good idea, I will see how they want to play it with respect to repairs.

It turns out that there's a look I give passengers, in particular the wife, when they're bouncing around and being distracting: It was, however, quickly followed by my more usual face when she started giggling:

Unfortunately I cracked the screen when removing it. However, the rest is in good condition and maybe the windscreen glass can be replaced? Windscreen, windscreen pillars, mirrors, wiper kit and heater box. not sure what to ask for all this but surely £150 isn’t bad? Not interested in splitting anything - take it all or nothing.

Hi, sorry to hear of your accident. I hope you and any passengers are ok. Living where you do, if Howden will allow it, I'd try a grp boat repair yard. Ages ago I had a Dutton Malaga B+, I did rear end damage to it (I span in some rare Dorset snow and hit a lamp post). Living near Poole I went to a local boat yard for the tub repair. At the time I got lucky with British Racing Green spray paint, but with new scanning technology a boat yard may be able to blend gel coat, or match a spray paint to the tub. I hope that helps Gary

Still sobing . Some tiptop ran into me at roundabout traffic lights today and took out my passenger side wheel arch and made a mess of my fw rear valance boot area. Luckily no damage to chassis or fuel tank but it looks like roll bar mounting has been moved a tad. Reported to insurance company howdens. Question does anyone know a good bodyshop in south west that could do the repairs under an insurance claim. The wheel arch is an easy replace the boot tub more of a challenge I suspect. Anyone had experience of how these jobs pan out.

Always wanted one of these, and now I have… Sort of…

Hope you guys have an awesome trip, it's looks bigger and better this year. It was great to meet you all in Berwick Upon Tweed last year. Looking forward to reading the posts and follow write up. Fingers crossed for the weather. Cheers Andy

So a spreadsheet as promised - @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset's mob have scored the most individual points so far (individual member names for that entry please and same from @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative please) and is leading the area challenge by taking a big group to Crapstone, but @Paul Baker - Bristol Bath and Cotswold AO, having visited four different places, is currently leading the individual points challenge: Keep them coming!

Go there and take a photo of yourself and / or the car with the place name in sight and it'll count!

Nope - did you look in the box? Maybe there's some in there.

I think the rules are quite clear: Your task is to visit these places (indicated by a blue flag on the map) and take a photo of yourself (and if possible, with your Westfield - some locations are not accessible by car) at these places - the name of the place must be visible in the photo. Scoring will be as follows: One point for each WSCC member in the photo One point for each Westfield in the photo One extra point if the WSCC member is in costume One point for your Local Area Separately, there will be one point for every place with Westfield in its name visited (indicated by red flags). Spreadsheet to come...

It was already there when my dad bought the car! My dad was 6ft1 and drove with a helmet because she's only got an aeroscreen. Some of the welding isn't the nicest...

Is anyone going to Curborough next weekend? Is it just one day or both? Just thinking of popping over if there are some entries from our Club.

A vast improvement! Well done.

I've never seen a roll hoop with that extra extension on top before! For a tall driver I guess? Or if wearing a helmet maybe? Seems like an excellent idea to me.

As some of you know, my little green car had its MOT June 6th. Well she passed, and we are going out today for some more familiarisation with driving her. We are planning on going to the Coleshill Auto Breakfast Meet Big Day Out on the 29th as that was the last event my dad drove her to before he passed. If anyone is in the Midlands area and fancies joining me, the more the merrier. https://www.coleshillautobreakfastmeet.org/event-details-registration/big-day-out-all-day-event

Wow, who do you insure with to get that as a courtesy car - you defo didn’t tick “equivalent courtesy car on the policy!” - but seriously hope your insurance is solved quickly 🤞🙏
