I shoot my flying rats with AirArms TX200 .177 .Had .22s in the past but penetration and accuracy seem better with .177 . Tasco 4x40 scope helps me hit the spot . Maybe you could get some small pigeon stickers and stick them on your side panels......

Well this will be a bit of science then! I was reading your thread earlier today, and connected with alot of it. I've got myself a 2010 3.0l Z4 (all the creature comforts imaginable, and a good bit of performance), and a 2.0l Zetec Aeroscreen Westie. Since I was 20 (5 years ago), i've had a Porsche924S, 1l Corsa Life, Smart Roadster, VX220 Turbo and the above two. I'm always on Autotrader; and I too am 'finished' as soon as I decide to browse for a new car officially. Since i've had the westie, a fair few teething issues have taken hold, such as needing to replace the alternator, oil filter leak, indicator failure, electric issues, a stupid woman in a car park not seeing me, and a practical girlfriend (i'm sure some will realise the impact having such a lady in my life). That and everyone saying i'm crazy for having it. Every fibre in my body is saying I need to sell it before summer, before the price drops for winter and so on. However.... 3 months ago I was saying: I have never replaced an alternator before in my life. I have never wired a car before in my life. I have never done any major modifications to a car before. I have never bought parts online before for a car. I dont know the basic mechanical workings of a car before. I dont know how fragile each area of a car is, such as suspension and steering. I have never had such stares before in a car. I have never forgotten to put the oil cap back on, and gone for a drive.... Nowdays I can say yes to every one, and many more. Many lessons learnt for certain! The car makes me want to pull out my hair, and yes, the thought of throwing it on autotrader (or a ditch) has popped into my head. BUT; if I sold it, i'd want to keep tinkering....and I wont be able to tinker with the Z4. I'll go back to being a detailing and polishing OCD chap. I'll pop the bonnet, and stare at it, rather than fiddle. And i'll look to doing modifications that will cost 10x more. What I have right now, is a toy to play with; a hobby. One that has its ups and downs, like any hobby; and comes with a great community and so on. I've yet to take it on the track, but some roads are absolutely amazing in it. The day I sell this car, will be to fund a house. And currently, my life isnt there. Hope it isnt for a while longer, purely as an excuse to keep ol' red! Hope this helps T

As some may have read I had a bad weekend recently where everything went wrong. The gearbox in my road car being the worst bit as it was making a noise. This was a new BGH gearbox bought when I built the car 10 years ago but it had done just 7000 miles. Took it to BGH last week and Colin and Brian found that first gear had moved causing the noise and a small amount of damage on the layshaft They listed all the parts needed to sort it out new lay shaft etc and the labour which meant the total was approaching £800. Without asking they charged a nominal fee only as they said it should have lasted longer but as it was a box designed for racing I expected no warranty allowance as it was 10 years old anyway. I was bowled over by their honesty, integrity and how quick they turned it around especially as they had had a fire at their workshop just one week previous which they are still sorting out. Service like theirs is getting a rare thing these days where the normal response is to blame the user for everything. I would not hesitate to recommend then to anyone needing gearbox or diff work.

Sure. I am picking up an order so I won't have the money for long. Lol.

Did some body call me? An Uzi sounds like a toy I'll bring this, it should sort them out

Had mine in the lounge before fitting. Comfier than some sofas I've had to perch on.

Wrap your toothbrush in a clean pair of pants and that's all a man needs for a weekend away. Perfect excuse to stop the Mrs bring the kitchen sink for a weekend away.

I have a weirach HW77k as well - .22 - great rifle - every man should have rifle in the car…very useful and saves you having to despatch animals with a shovel. I have a .243 rifle as well.. Makes me sound like a red neck !

Hi I looking for wind deflectors with hinges or doors for my narrow body, long distances are a bit fresh Thanks warren

Another set of doors here too. In case anyone else needs some.

You need to just pitch in and ask questions. TBH a Westy owner likes nothing better than talking about his car. There is no such thing as a stupid question - only a stupid answer.

Have a look at the Snetterton website - on surface looks like both Saturday and Sunday are free entry........ BUT Saturday has a Buy Now button that wants to charge an adult £10. Not surprised as on Saturday BRSCC are running an event on the 300 course with racing for Fun Cup, Pickup Trucks, Legends and Superkarts. As Pete says as soon as we get our finals we will know how to share some ticket around to others - always good to have the support of local Westfield owners.

Sounds like you might need to get a cheap ebay pair especially for the evening beanie! Pete Pete's Dad James Tim Bernie Kevin

Sorry for the radio silence on this one, will have a word with our regular track dayers and see if if they have any preferences.
