Even I haven't seen those, looking smart there. I whatsapp'd you BTW ETA Glad those silly fake spoked wheels are off it now, the first pic looks far better.

Hi everyone, thanks for your warm welcome 👍. Here's a few pics of my old XJ... Still in the process of doing bits to it & undoing things that the previous owner did that really doesn't suit the car... Lol 🙄

Out of interest @daveclow where have you advertised it for sale? Anywhere other than on here? eBay and Pistonheads are worth trying IMHO. Plus of course dozens of groups on Facebook.

Sounds like the layout may vary from phone to phone then. Different software or whatever.

Can the above have a direct link tab/button to the events calendar month showing all events as below? as atm it just lists the 4 forthcoming events?

Are we brothers from another marriage my mother never told me about , because I agree 100% in everything you said. You know as well as I do, when faced with a boyracer today in the average tintops they use, which one is going to lose. Not that I condone racing on the street BTW, very very naughty is that... And yet they are sat laughing at this very old looking car which proceeds to leave them far behind never to be seen again.., lol. Colin Chapman had it right the first 7 he made, light car , small capacity engine that was tuneable, was it Caterham or Lotus that were banned from racing because they kept winning everything, can't recall now, but I heard they had T shirts made, something like Too Fast To Race, lol

Not a wind up....honest! IMHO the Kent X-flow is more in keeping with the original '7' mantra, and the soundtrack is second to none - in fact some of the more modern engines are miles behind in the noise enjoyment too... More modern engines are more powerful and more reliable, and nicer running, but that kind of takes away the romance of owning a 7 to me anyway....nursing a cold engine on twin webbers with no choke until it can tick over under its own steam, is a skill that most younger drivers have never experienced, which i find a bit sad too....pulling up to the first few junctions, balancing the throttle and using the handbrake would probably see a risk assessment required now lol... I think there is a bit of snobbery involved too when looking at an old x flow engined car, and many write them off as being too slow. As pointed out above though, a well fettled example with 130 plus bhp, whilst on paper being way underpowered to other more modern equipment, in real terms can be not too far behind. Last year I had the pleasure of a 60 plus mile blat with a Caterham 420 owner who was very complimentary about my x-flow se registered in '92!!!! Mart.

Sorry folks, bowing out today, I got halfway in the seat and that was all I could do, my own fault, a friend and I went out Sat evening and not recovered yet. Maybe tomorrow.

On my mobile, the merch link is one of the last things to appear as you scroll down past the main forum content?

It's working fine on my mobile. Great job thanks 👍 Not quite sure what you mean by prior to the merch link on a mobile though as on my mobile the merch link is on the Home page

Yep, I agree with that!

Hi Malcolm, Shame we missed meeting you! We have a couple of locals with MEV Rocket and Sonic7 cars so we're familiar with the FWD engine and box dropped in the rear, a brilliant solution! With the Sigma engine, it's probably more similar to the Silva Riot though. Love the car, hope we get to meet you in person over the summer 👍

I have added in a link to the Events Calendar under "Out & About with your Westfield". On a Mobile this appears prior to the Merch link, so might work better? On a desktop, events has it's own main menu anyway. Does this work OK folks?

Back from hols - but as mentioned, I don't pick up on being "tagged" in posts - so you need to email wscc@digitalized.co.uk if there is anything requiring my attention 👍 I'll look into this now.

5 Guys burger shops, never been in one till yesterday, not a huge burger fan, but grandsons love these, look way better than the other well known burger chain!

https://fiveguys.co.uk/

What outlets sell those Ross?. ETA Don't worry I googled it, it's a chain, and the nearest is 35 miles away....

You need to try a 5 Guys BLT, had one yesterday first time, one of the best BLT I’ve had!😋

I’m going to try but weather is looking a bit iffy on some days 👍🏼

Or Me. I'm sure we were both drawn to it as it's a kit and also had a WSCC sticker! Hope to see you and your car again.

Never heard of that before, but still... What is your fav go to buttie, or what fillings do you wish they made ? I'm a tad predicable, so its a BLT for me.

Brian james Ifor Williams Woodford Prg What you got i only want something light No homemade please

It's looking that way Stuart isn't it, not sure I can manage everyday, hard enough just getting in it to start the darn thing to get it out of the garage, lol. I will see how we get on.

Going for the full week Matt? I’m hoping the weather holds enough for an epic drive up to Dartford on Thursday! 😬
