All Activity

Spent quite a bit of time tracking down petrol today; quite a few supermarkets and stations in my area were completely out. The guy in the station where I found some said that something had kicked off a panic.

I can only guess speed. But when you zoom in, it doesn’t really make sense,

Looks like a nice run out. We missed it due to being down in Dorset, where we have just randomly bought a horse trailer. At least we will have when Monzo believe we’ve not fallen for a scam!

That was a really enjoyable run out. Sorry I was late arriving (only 5 minutes) and had to leave early. The car was looking well used when I got home but at least it stayed mainly dry.

What do the different colour represent?

As recommended by the installer. He seems to be a fan of them. David

A good run round on mainly quiet roads. Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for the usual great planning. Flashbacks to my 'risky rear' pics from our 1st Le Mans Trip in 2017. Apparently @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative thinks I was taking a pic of her tread depth! Only @Jakejmagee and I know the skill required to get round this bend safely! my Bluetooth battery monitor also logs my runs - here’s today route

Good, what are you going for instead?

I wasn't the only person deciding whether to have the Sunday carvery only to be told it's Saturday, oh crumbs, so tomorrow will feel like Monday and I haven't a clue what day it is, it's CLUB day! yeah that's all that matters. Great to be out with our great car club!! Meeting earlier at Quacker's to have a quick look at my TPS values and general ecu numbers as the revs on cold start seem to be down at 600 rpm for some bizarre reason. Nothing glaringly obvious showed up on a warm engine and, now Ian Kinder has shown me what to do, I will look at the cold engine in the morning. Although Dave mentioned that the OMEX ecu's are clever little sods that can compensate for failing instruments, making diagnosis a challenge. Oh the joys of owning a kit car, never a boring moment, still it made for good photo's of the tread pattern on my shoes Here we are at Quacker's car park before Luke arrived Jake and Jim arriving Inside Quacker's cafe, inside because it was freezing outside Andrew had picked up a screw in his tyre resulting in a slow puncture, Ian Kinder to the rescue again. Luke arrived and we got a fantastic display of the mighty 3.9 litre V8's, these 2 cars are about as similar as 2 Westfield's get. No 2 cars are the same. Off we went on our run out on great wiggly roads with some of the most amazing views you can get in the area, we avoided the tourist spots and flowed very well. Well, most of the time, until I saw the warning triangle for the crossroads, thinking ah that's where we turn left. Nope, it's a farm track, then to the ruddy next one and same again, a farm track, finally on the 3rd warning triangle it was the road we wanted, Derbyshire County Council must have had a 3 for 1 offer that day on crossroad signposts. Worth it though for the view as you come down into Taddington, awesome. That bought us nicely to The Cow Shed, Tideswell where it was far too hot to sit inside, even if you were wearing shorts, Mr K. A few shots of us gadding about at the Cow Shed, please add your photo's of the day too, much appreciated x Dave and Ian leaving with the Honda Roar Really, really excellent to have folks back out now the tax man has been paid and the weather is everso slightly warmer, thank you for making the time to join us and also a great big thank you for the technical expertise that member's of this club share with us XXXXXXX

Wanted Westfield Xl centre mirror mount , black part in picture above .

Hi, I thought I had a spare key, but not able to lay my hands on it at the moment. Lets assume there is only the one key, and if I do find the other, then I can post it to you.

Problematic Weber Alpha ECU is out...

yes, here lies my problem, as ill be mounting mine above my vent on my nose cone so more horizontal than vertical, I suppose I could always snap one in half and fit it vertically under my nose cone and claim i didn't know it was broken lol

I have a vague recollection that it's the 'as vertical as possible' that is problematic as it's open to interpretation

I don't think the paw patrol are going to nick you for a small printed bs code missing half of them wouldn't know anyway as long as its correct reflective background font and size im sure your be ok.

I have only skim read this, but nowhere does it mention stick on not being legal, so long as its fixed, reflective and BS numbers https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/part/II

has to be this colour er these colours then

I think I saw it on a TikTok when a traffic officer often posts about modifications and law's etc, google does suggest its only pre 73 cars, so maybe im wrong

For sail a new Intermotor Rover V8 distributor cap their part number 44790. Unused. See photo's. Bought for a V8 Westfield but also fits some Land Rover, TVR, MGB. £18

The harlequin Westfield has been done

Not arguing, genuine query - do you have a citation for that? In the Construction & Use or somesuch? D

Wasn’t sure the Towbar would get much use! But now I’ve combined my two passions (no cruel comments about the football thanks!) it might be one of better ideas

found a uk legal reflective, but no BS number, guess I'll just get a BS sticker made up with the details from my BMW reg plate haha

they are legal on our cars with the markings, stick on plates are legal for cars designed not to have a front plate, Westfields fall into that category as theres is no actual mounting point, but yeah i want legal size, font, reflective and BS code thingy

Oops that’s wanted not selling
