Well done Quinten, happy days. Nice to see a farther daughter moment in their too

good work. sounds like you really enjoyed yourself

Welcome to the club, your first upgrade should be a drivers seat !

Yay well done, looks like a nice motor. By the way Westfields are always empty of fuel. Every trip out in mine starts with a trip to the petrol station!

Congrats mate, glad you found what you wanted, car looks very nice

Only 128 miles between me and my Here we go!

Absolutely - and let's keep some perspective here, the boardroom content will not change whatsoever, just the order of the books on the shelf. I trust there will be no nasty scrolling injuries.

The members in question were 100% welcome paid up WSCC members and sorely missed! but it would be unfair to single them out any further. Whilst I know what Norm is referring to, that was a small minority of one or two, however, to say about any member "we can do without you" is hardly tolerant thinking, nor is it the impression I would wish to give out.

Hi Arthur, and welcome to the club, I just sold my Westie, and bought a Harley. It's only a baby one. The only one I could dangler my leg over without tearing my skirt.

Hi All Many thanks to Barwik for the info on Photos. Have attached some, hope you can see my new toy. Hopefully it arrives next week so can get out and have a run around. Have saved myself £14 already by being a member of WSSC - discount on insurance from A-Plan.

With a red car in particular Gary's suggestion is by far the best; all the colours are affected by sunlight to some extent, but red, just like with red painted cars, does seem to age and weather the most. You can buy small pots of gel coat from Westfield (about a tenner) for making repairs. But even though it's the same colour, the match can vary from spot on to miles out depending on how much the car has faded over the years. You would have the same issue if you tried to match paint to the original colour; it might match that, but stand out like a sore thumb on the car! Oh, and to answer the original question; no, we don't have colour charts or lists, the factory has used a variety of suppliers over the years. I presume as a batch of one colour started to run out, it would be replaced by which ever supplier offered the best price. There isn't therefore a definitive 1998 supplier or 2009 supplier in the same way that there would be consistency on a model years paint finishes with a tin top supplier. (Hence the batch codes inside the grp panels, so that at least they can be matched at the time of manufacture, (it also used to identify which mould set a set of bodywork had come from. Not sure how many moulds they actually have since it went out-of-house).

You used to be able get 6mm thick Marglass which is polycarb with a glass like coating that was very difficult to scratch plus sledgehammer wouldnt break it. Looking through the web the Lexan number you have quoted is the same stuff. Its as good as it gets. Yes ultimatley it can be scratched, but i would use it. I used to be in the plastics business.

is it the three speed sturmey archer John? my old chopper back in 1976 had that gear system ,I had endless trouble with the toggle chain needing adjusting all the time , think I would give it a miss Rich and get something reliable like a Drenth edited to say looks like theres a one here. http://www.blatchat.com/t.asp?id=235936

We use a lot of Devolo dLan 500s when installing WiFi enabled TV and audio systems: http://www.devolo.co.uk/microsites/wifi/index-uk.html?gclid=CMCF5_Pi-rkCFTMctAodN1MAeQ We find them very reliable and stable. When set up correctly, the switch from one WiFi signal to another is seamless. It also gives one (or more depending on the model used) RJ45 connections in the room for wired equipment. There are lots of these devices on the market and we have tried some of the others and found them not so stable or reliable.
