Following on from an idea used last year, name stickers to wear on your top at Stoneleigh have been printed up for all WSCC Members. The stickers are roughly business card sized and are laid out as follows: WSCC Club Logo Real Name Forum Name These will be available in the exterior marquee for collection, and are sorted by surname. Please pick yours up and wear it, as this helps make meeting, identifying and talking to other members simpler and creates a more friendly atmosphere. It also aids people like me, who are good at remembering names but lousy at remembering faces, and I have to associate more than 1200 names with faces (and often fail!). Thanks for your assistance!

A sad loss which shows how fragile life is. He was diagnosed with Parkinson disease recently and contracted pneumonia which just shows how quick life can change. What I liked was he was not a pretty boy actor, he had a lived in look which meant his acting was the key to his success. Favourite film, The Long Good Friday.

I can also let you have older versions of the heater fan, washer and wiper switches as they are unused on my car. I think I have a surplus but working rear fog switch too, which I'll try and dig out. I'll be at Stoneleigh, so you can raid them from my car if you haven't got some sorted by then. Let me know. Jen

And as kit car owners we all wear bobble hats anyway

Okay guys, I'm thinking that it's better to start gauging opinions sooner rather than later on this one to see if it's viable. I've been the last couple of years and I know that Alastair (theprisoner) + 1 also go down. The show is on Sunday 4th - Monday 5th but camping/setting up is avaliable from Saturday 3rd should you wish to camp. I've stayed locally in a wee hotel (Rugby), which is just 10 minutes from the showground, where there's ample off-street secluded parking! It's no Hilton but you get to good night rest and a decent brekky! I would suggest that this'll need some organising from our end and my first thoughts are around a support van a la Applecross. It obviously relies on a volunteer .. .. and a van! Secondly, what are your thoughts about going? Let's guage numbers of interested parties and are you interested in taking your Westy/Seven/kit car?

Slowly making a dent in my local population......poo everywhere. Cut down a large scotts pine in my garden yesterday and there were clumps of poo the size of footballs ! I've got chickens & ducks and they don't make half the mess.........or crap all over my cars. In my garden I find roost shooting most effective.......just before dark and they're sitting ducks.....SORRY.....sitting pigeons.

Steve we will have hot water and shampoo for you waiting as we know how you were in spain.

Coventry: http://www.nationalkitcarshow.co.uk Well worth a look if you are interesting in getting a car, there will be more there than anywhere else in the world or at nay other time of year, and most owners will let you sit in there car if you explain why, ditto a lot of show stands. Good friend at Uni was in to his 200sx's . Infact I watched him hedge one of them from the seat of my westfield! Daniel

Welcome, what a shame about your current car. Still, gives the opportunity to try something new! I'd try to see and "experience" as many Westfields as you can. Stoneleigh will give you a chance to see lots of alternatives within the WF brand - you'd be amazed at how many variations there are! They add up to completely different feeling cars too. This is all very true. But the OP has come from a tuned Turbo car; whilst the lightweight, lower powered Westfields will undoubtedly trounce it on the tight twisty stuff, they can, when you're used to that turbo push, feel a bit flat compared to a slightly less nimble, bigger engined car. That said, don't feel like you have to go chasing big horse power numbers with a Westfield, a little goes a long way in cars this light! That's why it's important to try as many as you can, see what feels right to you!

Handbrake levers/adjusters for the 8" drums on a ford english axle, part numbers and or where to buy them...

I'll be on my way to Glasgow to collect my new toy. Back late Friday night and then a big wash and polish on Saturday. (always do this to new cars as I then know where I start. Also do a mech inspect. See if I need to change oil and filters, brake pads etc. Sunday is horse racing at the local track so....Speak sometime next week Must admit I'm as excited as a excited thing. Having had a serious health scare I realise, even more than before, that I need to get all those boxes ticked. Next may be a series I or II landie.

One incident and Daily Mail headlines like this hit forums across the land. Ohhh, back in the day ... the world was rosey, cops handed out a clip round the ear 'ole to miscreant kids, nobody murdered each other. Priests and celebrities didn't fiddle with kids in my day ... oh, hang on a minute ... Things are as bad as they always have been, we have always had terrible acts of violence, murder, kids robbing grown-ups in the street, torture in military prisons, just now we have a media to ram it down our throats until we're scared of the world we have always lived in.

Thats a DIY bouncing bomb waiting to happen "SPEED CAMERA VAN!!!!!!!!, release the wheel!!!!" Kaboooooooom!!!!!

We were at Anglesey this weekend and had a fantastic time! 2 qualifying sessions, 3 races (1 wet and 2 dry), karting and pizza on the Friday evening, meal out on the Saturday, lots of banter and action throughout the field. I've combined everything into one video which is pretty long, but the best bits are at Rocket on the first lap of race 1 at 0:50, a very slippery encounter with Matt from 3:58 onwards, race 2 start at 10:13, Rob grass-tracking at 14:34, race 3 start at 17:09, overtaking at 18:37, 19:18 and 20:00, and then a 10 minute position-swapping tussle with Amy from 20:50 til the end of the video, which includes overtakes at 23:23, 25:57, 26:33, 27:34, 29:10 and 30:35 (last corner of the last lap!). If you click this link to go to YouTube then all the times where action happens will be clickable in the video description, or you can watch / scroll through below. Hope you enjoy!

IMHO as your car draws air from under an enclosed bonnet, any dissipation of heat can't do any harm. Worked for me on my car If you click the link to the Speed Series and have a look at Stu's championship winning car, well you decide
