  1. Hey All, Don't really want to lose this one but Mum has said that one has to go, so Dad's it is! Real fun car which will make a good quick track day / hillclimb car or be instantly competitive for the 750MC or similar. This was my first racecar which I did my first season in, in the Westfield Cup Championship. Race / Hillclimb / Track-Day Competition Lightweight Westfield SEW 2ltr Zetec (Unregistered, track only vehicle) Purchased by first owner as a new kit (1999 - Factory Proof Available). It is a pre-cat model. But Car was not built up until 2005/6 by Peter Dagleish for the Westfield Cup Championship. Car came second in championship in 2007 with lots of lap records and wins. Passed into current ownership in 2008 with racing in the Westfield championship (2yrs) and then light use in the 750MC since. Having been involved in an incident in spring 2012 at Cadwell, the spec was upgraded to the following: Full Competition Lightweight Live Axle Wide Chassis & Body (Rejigged etc 2012) New Extra Wide Rear Wings, New Arches, Bonnet and Side Panels - 2012. Wide Track Front Suspension, Wide Offset Wheels - 2012 Full Bolt-On Race Roll Cage (Made by Caged) Westfield Race Seat with 2013 Sabelt Harness Spare Passenger Seat with Out-of-Date (OK for Track Days) Harness.

Some Spares available but not many, as we have my second Race Westy. Always maintained regardless of cost, and has given us so much enjoyment! Other sets of wheels/spares available. Car is located in York and available to be viewed / drive a short distance! Please call John on 01347878355 or Harry on 07929937684 if interested. Really after £10k but negotiable. Many thanks, Harry Gordon.

  2. Jeff well said, going back a little re the Belgrano, I suspect the servicemen on the Antelope, The Sheffield and Sir Galahad may have an opposing view about not sinking it. Pre emptive strike not a problem it was a vessel of the invading opposition and had to be dealt with, had they raised a white flag or made it obvious they were surrendering then we would be guilty. I haven't read anywhere that they were surrendering although they were repositioning themselves. Game over, the Conqueror I believe did its work exactly as it was trained to do so. One thing which does bother me greatly about the funeral and Maggies legacy is how come soft ar*e Mark Thatcher can call himself Sir Mark just because Dennis was a Baronet, Mark the numpty should not be allowed to hold that title. Fairly good debate with a few hard lines sliding in. Bob

  3. We can have the NHS and we can have an effective welfare system. We hear a lot about the low paid, but the reality is if they have children the tax credit system helps them. My sister works part time as a hairdresser, bil works as a printer, they get tax credits and a care allowance as the daughter is diabetic. They have two cars, have just moved home with a mortgae, bught a 7 acre field and had an £10k stable block errected for her horse. They have sky etc etc. They do not need the benfits but if you hear them they are so poor and I am lucky. I know that Norm is a great supporter of the EU, but to me we need to look at what we get. There are many UK companies who have closed factories here down and opened with EU grants in East Europe. So we give money to the EU so they can give to the new members, so they can bribe companies to go there, so we effectivly pay to export British jobs how is that right? We need a balanced economy where working is rewarded and refusing to work is punished. We need to look after all our pensioners and those who genrally are too ill to work. I employed a driver who had one leg, he was told he never need work again but chose to set an example for his family and was never out of work, so what is unemployable and deserving of disability benefit? I certainly would not pay anyone because they are obese to sit at home stuffing their fat face with more pies. We need to get a society where we applaude accomplishment, where we are not ashamed to be rewarded for excellance or ashamed to have the trappings of sucess, where those who are not blessed with academic skills are not looked down on but encouraged to develope there skills. Until we get back to this instead of rewarding people with inflated tits whose only skill is to have photos taken with legs so far apart they are in different postcodes, or someone famouse for being on tv we will continue to slide even further. As for the armed forces, as an island we need to have our own set of people with the right equipment. I have no problem with that at all, should we be in Afganistan I thing we should as probably by being there we have stopped terrorisum expanding so fast as it would have and when you see girls being schooled where they would no other wise be it is hard to not see some good. However the price has been high, too high for many. But back on topic I suspect if we had a leader now with Thatchers backbone we would not be dictated by the EU or be apologising for everything we ever did anywhere in the world. I just hope the trash who are allegedly going to disrupt the funeral are dealt with by the armed forces not by social workers who want to appease their behaviour because their dad told them Thatcher took his milk.

  5. I did suggest to a senior person at Caterham that they could make supports with sliding tubes that could be adjusted to get a good fit. He just laughed. So, anyone want to make some supports that have two separate uprights bolted together to the hub and telescopic tubes that can be pinned when the height is set. Maybe I should make some.
