Well after what was predicted to be a nice dry Friday this is what we got. I went for a 60 mile drive along A-Roads from Bristol upto BTEC Racing , Chipping Norton a few weeks later than most of the guys here who attended the Car Health Check Day. Got there in the dry, had the geometry all checked and it all seems near enough balanced without any adjustment.

Now with these checks ticked off, and told the brake pads look pretty much like new I'm 'ready' for the track day health check. First time I've really driven the Westfield that distance bar the day I picked it up about 8 weeks ago and that was wet, first time, motorway, so a bit on edge, driven a few 10-30 mile round trips and around Bristol. Even in the rain, had a great time - even had a random guy on a bus stop put his thumb up to me on the way through a random village.

My Grandson having a wee shot….

Kids seem to love Westys! Took this lot all out (plus some of the parents) today for an introduction to em! Took ages one at a time but they all loved it!

this is how to drift round hamilton

Yesterday after what seems an eternity looking I viewed and bought my first Westfield. It's a SEW 1999 1.6 cvh. 200 miles done already but may need medical help as I fear I may be stuck with a permenant ear to ear grin!

And not a westy in sight!

I still consider myself to be a newbie despite having my car since early March - the grin won't go! I got soaked last Sunday and was still grinning at the sheer lunacy of driving an open top car in a deluge of biblical proportions!

It's not a doctor you want, what you really need is to come and join the Manchester boys on one of our blats, also you could come to one of our monthly meetings at the Horton arms in Chadderton, just a short blat over the A627M for you.

Good run out today, lost one then found him again. Some of the roads to the pub could do with resurfaceing, but had a good day anyway, Some photos, And finally Got to get the nuts and bolts out.

I have my 1800 Ford Zetec engine which has a low line sump fitted (bought some years ago from a member on this forum) and a black powder coated cam cover. Engine was new as supplied from Westfield in 1997 and has covered around 30k miles. £200 + P+P please note - as I work away from home, I won't be able to send any items out until I'm back at the end of the month - sorry !

One more I dont know why it didn't load first time, and the editor wouldn't let me add a photo to the existing post.

I just got back from 120 miles blatting with the Yorkshire boys Well done Martin Fantastic weather, fantastic route, how did you manage that? Here's some photo's from today.

£55 million of our money per day goes to Europe. Do we want that to continue?

Nice work! Think my car got too hot but without getting the correct temp sensor I won't know. I'm going to fit that radiator duct before the next one though.

3. Q443 RGT....yet another.

I've finally got round to finishing this Photobucket isn't quite playing ball as I can't upload anything over 1Mb which would then enable me to upload them in a format that would allow you to edit them for colouring yourselves Anyhow here's the finshed result If anyone fancies making their own, I've produced a few in the most common standard Westfield colours, if you'd like a different colour combination of nose or arches then post up and I'll see what I can do for you enjoy Post Office Red Orange Lime Green Electric Blue Crimson Cream Chrome Yellow Chrome Yellow with Black Nose and Arches Burgandy British Racing Green British Racing Green with Yellow Nose Baby Blue
