Just thought I would share my Daughters wedding day photo and we even managed to get the Westfield in the shot….

Had the great pleasure to visit a customers workshop this morning to quote for a job ...................... This one has 700Bhp This one is the only EVO model they made in right hand drive and has only nine miles on the clock , my customer has turned down offers that " are substantially more than a nice house" .

Just realised my MOT ran out on the 1st of Aug. quick pop down to my local garage and I'm now fully legal again and no advisories. While on the ramp I had a good check underneath and looks like I was maybe taking to much kerb at Blyton and put a few scrapes on the sump

Not bad power for a mighty xflow derived engine. Was my favourite group b car, looks lovely

Hope you offered to take it out for him it can't be doing it any good sat still

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28656050 Apparently, that nice Mr Ecclestone, who is on trial for criminal bribery in a German court, has offered the court a sum of €100m to terminate the case. Apparently, the court is minded to accept. Apparently, this payment is not a bribe! Apparently, I am confused.

Me too , could never afford one , I could make a body but might get a bit stuck with the rest of it !!

Scary to think Ford could barely give the road/homologation batch away at one point.

4 RS 200's? !!!! Blimey I'd give an arm and leg just to have one!!

Is it not possible just to have a tick box along the lines of "make visible to all" or "make visible only to members"

The 9 mile EVO version won't get used because just that , however the 700bhp car does get used , plus he has two others which weren't there . I am anticipating being back there at some point soon so hope to see more cars . I went with the Cotswolds WSCC area to see Nick Masons private car collection the other year , that was fantastic to see the cars , however to me this was just a little bit more special , you can't believe what is on your own doorstep tucked away !!

He's still learning…Haha...

Afternoon Everyone. Took Buttercup to the beach today. The beach is called Fraisthorpe Beach and the only way to find it is to watch for the fingerboard three miles south of Bridlington on the Hull road. The beach is very clean and safe and the parking is £2.50 all day. There is a chip van and clean toilets in the local farmers buildings and these are free with a donation box. There is a small river the children can paddle in and just a short walk away there are a number of army pill boxes that you can get into. You get views right across the bay from Flamborough lighthouse right down to spurn point. It really is a lovely beach if you are in the area.

Priceless !!! awesome cars

What a wonderful photo - congratulations (on the photo and gaining another pair of hands for the next engine rebuild ) I'd definitely submit the photo (is it my imagination or is the Westie about to take a chunk out of his leg - jealousy perhaps?)

Wow, what a weapon!

Tel's Tales 036– MIRA 2nd August 2014 An early 0500hrs start again for me along with a very good chance of rain saw me on my way to Mira for the start of the weekend which also included the round trip to Hethel on Sunday (see Blog). A good entry of 13 cars were spread around the paddock which did not look very full so thoughts of lots of runs flashed through my mind but this is an MAC event so only ever get two timed runs! There had been rain en route and the track was wet but no standing water for P1 but as it was practice I kept my slicks on. In an attempt to keep away the rain I even erected my gazebo but that didn't work and P2 saw more rain which made the track very very wet with lots of puddles and opportunities for aquaplaning! Several drivers had big moments and it was looking like it would end up being a 100 point 1.6e event as we were miles away from the target times. As usual Simon Broadbridge was pushing hard but ended up on the grass and out of control but I think he avoided hitting the tyre wall but did bend the timing strut and rip off the alloy engine bay undertray which was all quickly repaired by the usual Westfield paddock service crew. There was a bit of a debate about the use of waterproof suits over our fireproof overalls but sense prevailed and we kept them on as there is nothing worse than sitting in a rainwater collection device (the Westfield car) with every part of you wet and soaked to the skin. I am sure there were lots of incidents that I was not aware of as its a fast tricky track even in the dry. At the end of P2 it was decided that there would be a third practice.......god knows why they do that!.........but about half way through the runs a car went off on the last corner and unfortunately hit a marshal who was standing on the outside of the track but presumably not behind a barrier. Next thing we knew there was an air ambulance on the scene ( don't know how it got past security!) and two ambulances to attend to him. It is believed that he suffered a broken elbow and that the approved marsall's position will be reviewed. We started timed runs after lunch when the track began to dry out a bit. I remained on slicks having inially fitted my wets as reports came back from early runners that the track was ok. What they did not tell me was that on the lefthander after Tower there was a deep puddle on the outside of the track!!!! Guess who found it and had a big moment with controlling a tank slapper and avoiding all the cones to record 51.79secs ( class G target 47.51secs). Dave Cleaver was going strongly again and was quicker with 50.21 secs (class F target 48.44 secs) and Adrian Clinton Watkins posting a 52.70 secs ( class E target 49.29secs).There were some mutterings about this being a low scoring event as we had gone too quickly for a 1.6e result but the track needed to be much drier for the last runs. The start of T2 runs showed that although the track was drier it was still not great and a few puddles remained on some parts of the track to make things a bit more interesting as most people's times improved. After his earlier mishap, Simon Broadbridge had a good run with 55.24secs to win class A against Craig Spooner on 56.36secs and David Reed on 58.96secs. Martin Harvey alone in class B recorded a very creditable 53.03 secs (target 52.17 secs). Graham Frankland and his gluten free drive won class C with 56.29secs from George Newrick on 58.34secs. In Class D Keith Adams completed his day with 53.03 secs from Mark Schlanker on 55.21secs whilst in class F Dave Cleaver took the win on 50.21 secs on his T1 time as he did a 360deg spin on T2 (trying too hard!). Pete Goulding went well but his best was 50. 37secs. ACW was fastest Westfield recording 48.36s secs to break the Class E record of 49.29secs and I recorded 48.62 which was an ok time.. I must not forget John Roberts who was out for the second time in the battery powered electric car who has no problem passing the noise test!. I offered some advice on the suspension set up etc but that really is one heavy car and maybe restricted his time to 59.16secs. In his own words he needs more testing/seat time but can only do 15 mins in total I think!!!!!! So we packed up and in my case I set the sat nav to get me to the Bird in Hand pub car park at Hethel ready for a meal and 0600hrs start on Sunday for Hethel. Paul Aspden was on his way as well and when he arrived his VW van had punctured a rear tyre so that was his first job for Sunday morning sorted.

What a lovely photograph. Congratulation to your daughter and her man.

Lovely! Just to put an idea into your head, you can always submit a very similar photo for the Photo of the Year competition and win some free Westfield Parts vouchers, and also for the 2015 WSCC Calendar when submissions are sought in a few months.

Proposed route for Sunday, Meeting at Aberfoyle or Balloch. (Will go with the majority on that one.) For Aberfoyle, the rear car park of the Scottish Wool Centre, or for Balloch, the Argyll car factor car park. Either meeting place for 10am Heading north up the Dukes pass Along the A84 to Lochearnhead Crieff Aberfeldy Glen Lyon (theprisoners suggested route) Killin Can stop at either the cafe suggested or killin hotel or the falls of dochart Inn for lunch. I dont mind calling and booking any of them. This is just a suggestion folk and if someone else had plans then feel free to ingore it.

As long as your happy going slower ;)

Hello. I think that was me with "Buttercup". We travelled over from Scarborough along the M62 is pouring rain for 4 hours with windows constantly steamed up. We had the roof on and carrier bags stuffed around the doors where we could as the rain was unbelievable. Our clothes where soaked and poor Buttercups carpets contained more water than the North Sea .......and I loved every single minute of it.

It's a good bit of kit this and simple to wire in. They are very helpful over email on the phone too. There's a couple of threads on fitting if you search "koso".
