No racing Monday, back on Tuesday.

Monthly meet for a natter and a pint, usual venue, The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30. Hope to see some of you there.

I totally agree with you Stuart. The book is really good. Well done and thank you @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator for all the time and effort you have put into arranging this trip.

Thanks

Wow, only 27 of us Pro Drifters I feel special now 😁

No worries hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks again.

Many thanks Iam picking up my second Westfield on Tuesday and would look forward to meeting like minded owners.

Pair of cycle wings wanted, 205 size. Will consider carbon fibre. Must be in excellent condition.

I’ll try to get your name right in future too!!

Welcome to our clubs car meet occurring on Sunday 9th June at The Barge Inn at 09:30- 10:00 ish!! All are welcome, no matter what kitcar you drive! It is a great morning to speak with likeminded petrol heads and kit car enthusiasts about our beloved passions, Westfields.

Really hoping I can make my first area meet. I'm away that weekend though. If I'm back early enough, and can get a pass out... may well see you there!

Hi John and welcome. I’m just back from the kit car show. We’ve not got anything fixed right now but it’s overdue. Leave it with me thanks martin

@David John here was Mays

I am still waiting for the new ones to be delivered!

Are the old headlight shells available now? Thanks

I wonder who that was ?.

Somebody made Pro Drifter since March 16th then, well done that member 👌

Having checked the local weather forecast, Tuesday evening has a high chance of rain, so we will not meet up to go over to the Swettenham Arms classic car evening. Instead, we will meet as normal, on Thursday the 6th, at 7.30pm at the Golden Pheasant, which currently has the better forecast.

As an owner ( soon to be ex ) of a live axle car for the past 16 years, the ride on public roads is harsh to say the least. I have over many years replaced the rear springs to ever decreasing poundage's, I could go further but that would ruin the inherent handling characteristics of the car, since I don't wish to do that the car is sadly ( for me) going to someone who will appreciate the way the car handles. If our roads were better this perhaps would be less of an issue, but around here they are dreadful. For a track only car, I would say a live axle car is better than IRS, mainly due to the additional weight of the IRS setup. But for road use , if I were to buy another one ( doubtful) it would be an IRS one. If you can put up with a less than smooth ride, then sure live axle is fine, but since a decent medical diagnosis this mode of transport is no longer feasible for me. Besides which just getting in is really hard for me now, and you don't want to know how long it takes me to get back out again...

Ah. I have no experience of live axle cars or Pinto engined Westfields so I'll shut up now 🙂

Darn, you have me till at least 10,000 then, as that is my first love , perhaps getting shut of the car is a bad thing ? ( it's hot here, lol )

Probably safer we didn't

Are crayons included?

That's quite a provenance! Welcome by the way. A nicely developed live axle car can be just as enjoyable on the road as an independant car. Though you could argue it may magnify a little the difference tyres and springs/dampers make to ride quality for touring, compared to an independant. But, with none track day styles of tyres*, and a reasonable set up, it should do well. (*thr track day semi-slick style tyres often have very stiff sidewalls, especially in 15" diameter, that can be just a little harsh on rough pot holed country roads).
