Popular Post 7sRWild Posted March 22, 2012 Popular Post Posted March 22, 2012 Why do we join, take part, wish to be associated with a car forum? I have asked myself the above question a good few times, having waited most of my life before being able to afford my Toy.. My westfield, then realizing that there was actually an organization built around like minded individuals who shared my passion for our crazy little machines. Having checked out the forum just once I decided that joining was a no brainer, just one trip to the search facility was worth membership,and I have visited that jem many times. I live in Alberta -Canada and as such don't enjoy the local club get togethers or the give me a call and we can figure out what to do info chain available on a local level that you have in the UK. I know of only one other Westfield in Alberta. There are of course other 7,s, Birkin, caterham, locost and stalker the owners of those cars are all great guys, and there cars good machines but it would be good to be able to talk brand specific:-). Reading the forum provides me with many moments where I must appear quite mental to my long suffering wife as I take in the humour and sarcasm dished out in a way that only the Brits have mastered and have the ability to endure. I am an ex pat, born and raised in Oldham.and as such understand and appreciate the banter.. Thank you all for the laughter.. You know who you are.. So, why do we Join? More to the point, why did I join, to be part of a way of life, that's what these crazy machines become, of course there is that exhilaration that driving a Westy gives us, that stupid grin...seeing that look on so many faces that says " I wish I had your car" the never ending upgrades, this is more than a hobby, more than a toy, this car makes me so much younger every time I strap myself in the cockpit. The club, the forum, is a part of all that. To all the long time members who share their knowledge with we less informed, I thank you. To all those who keep the club running, I thank you also. Checking in on the goings on of the club and its members has become part of my daily routine. From this side of the pond. Cheers. 12 Quote
Captain Colonial Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Have to say Steve that I enjoy your posts very much. You went through a lot of trouble to get your Westfield over there, and the fun you and your good lady are having with it shines through in the posts and videos. Glad you can share them with us - here's hoping you have a great blatting summer! Reminds me, must look for your previous post with the photo of that bride and your car - might have been her groom in the photo as well, but can't remember and don't care! Never mind, found it! Quote
echoz Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 giggity giggity Steve your post is exactly what i like about this club, and rest assured, when my time comes to finally be able to afford a westy, I will be joining up straight away to ask a million daft questions and get told a million and one times to use the search bar to me there is not much more that appeals than joining fellow car enthusiasts and just going for a drive for the sake of driving 1 Quote

housebeautician Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Echo'z You don't need to own a westy to join the club and the price of a few beers pays the fee's Quote

Norman Verona Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Well said Steve. I agree and I joined when I left the dark side after years of agro and arguing. Never had a cross word said on the light side and everyone is friendly. I've not met many members but hope to get a few over this summer for a week of chilling out. Quote
