Nice day so I washed the worst of the poo off Westy. David

Glad to see you weren’t Hedley’d!

No need for sad face @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman), it looks more dramatic on the first image. I was fully stopped by this point so was all good. Oh, and for accuracy it was Devon not Somerset 🤪

Yep, same here, 58bhp less, heavier and mental enough, can't imagine how quick this must be on the road.

Been doing some quick cam timing tests, results in my development thread

Just renewed for another year with Howden. Thanks to Paul Reaney for all your help, speak to you this time next year!

Don’t you just love Somerset? Close encounter with a very large tractor; the farmers are crazy busy right now so probably should have expected it. Needed a firm slam on the anchors when it appeared, but Winston stopped straight and quickly which was handy!

Hoping to go, but it will be in the tin top, I'm afraid. (- waiting on a part for the Westfield, nothing major, but it will be a couple of weeks before I have it. It's a scuttle off job to fit, so the car is already apart, ready, while I catch up on a few other jobs under there.)

I *might* be interested if OP doesn’t need these due to different bodywork!

No action there I'm afraid. Video link broken?

Wow, what an opportunity! I well remember this car when Richard and Luke first built it. It is superb, and I don't remember any other car quite like it. The thought of driving it on the road.....what a giggle. My car was insane on the public road, and that had almost 60 bhp less, and would have been heavier.

Hi Paul, Our Saturday route starts on the Wirral, probably from the Tudor Rose. Then a drive down to Llandrindod Wells arriving in time for dinner at the Highland Moors guest house. Sunday we will visit the Elan Valley and Devil’s Bridge, before heading for home, hopefully back late afternoon. Jeff, our route guru, will put more info on here closer to the date so watch this space. There is a separate thread dedicated to the Welsh tour, have a look in this forum for Y Ddraig Goch. John.

I know it’s 4.45am. As some of you will know I am now fully recovered from fracturing a vertebrae (wife pushed me off a ladder). Sadly this accident has left me unable to drive Nessie for longer than 15mins. Given this I can’t leave him in the stable distressed & I need to find a new pilot. (Will have MOT for daylight running). Accepting the market is at a low point (economic conditions). I’m willing to accept £18,500. God knows what the car cost to build & develop - my estimate over £40k. Caterhams with similar performance change hands for £40k+. We all know Westfields are a much better 7. Please only seriously interested purchases. Should Maverick (Top Gun student) not step forward then sadly & with a heavy heart I will break Nessie & sell off the components. I would far rather see Nessie live on & enjoy more exciting adventures. Cheers Simon And Richard/Luke– Westfield SuperTec - 628BHP per Tonne - car well known by Troy at NMS (mapped ECU ) he is happy to discuss spec etc. Let me know if you would like to contact him so he is expecting contact.

Top bloke in my opinion and experience.

BTTT for any new members who have not benefited from Bert's escapades.............

You are joking!! Its 140 miles from home to Castle Combe. The car is stripped out with no windscreen and is uncomfortable to drive on the road. It may be very fast but there is little opportunity to use the speed. It is certainly not a motorway cruiser. I'll arrive Friday evening, sleep in the trailer and drive back home Saturday after the event.

Well done Richard, do you drive your car to the circuit? Dave
