That's my take on it. It's off summat else, and that's a safe place to keep it

Martin Please leave it on. We need to slow Barney down abit ;-)

Easy to get into James for those of us flexible enough & Marto - It's far too shoddy a fit for your work, did you contract it out to Westfield :D Is it April 1st??? !!! :D

I have a motorcycle jacket from Hein Gericke which was over £200 - ideal for extending your Westfield season.. those days when it is bright enough but not warm enough to be on the motorway in the Westfield. those days when the threat of rain might have persuaded you to take the daily drive I notice that Aldi are doing a very similar product at £80, take out the removable back and elbow protection you have a great spring and autumn , perhaps even some of winter, 'open top motoring' jacket.

take it next year to wiscombe to keep the mud out

Most technologies go through an S shaped curve. Initial slow progress, then very rapid advancement, then slower progress as they hit various limit. After that there are incremental improvements, but not the huge changes seen before. I think you are trying to compare a technology that is in the middle of the rapid advancement phase, semiconductors, with one that is in the top of the S incremental improvement phase. Compare a London to Brighton run car from 1900 with a car from the 1970's. The 70's can go maybe five times faster, can travel thousands of miles without breaking down, compared with tens. A reasonably well off person could buy one, compared with only the super rich in 1900. In the last 40 years they have got more fuel efficient by perhaps a factor of two and the cost has come down by a factor of two or so. Reliability and service life by two or three times. Nothing like the change in the last 40 years compared with the first 70. Similar thing for aeroplanes. 1904 they are made of wood and string and can go a few hundred yards. Sixty years latter jet passenger planes do 500mph across oceans. Fifty years after that they still do 500mph and look similar, but are several times cheaper to buy and run, so almost anyone can afford to fly. Jen

Well, like I said I don't mean any offence, been having a bad week of it TBH and when i'm having a bad week I just start to say what I think and usually not in a very subtle manner

i'm in see you there first event of 2015

I have a simple GRP 'diffuser'. I say 'diffuser' because I don't think it does much more than keep the void under your back panel a lot cleaner with it fitted rather than not. Mine has detents to clear the rear suspension on full droop and is firmly fixed, particularly at the front. The spacers, which are made of ali tube, have been carefully cut to length so that the diffuser fits in tightly. I agree that a careful fitting process is the key to all of this.

I had the Aerodynamix one fitted to my old Westy with their fitting it for over 3 years and its still on the car now as far as I know. I used the car for trackdays, road tours round France and also the WSCC Speed Series, not once did it fall off or come away from the mounting points. Im sorry to say but I think it might be down to the people fitting it tbh. The reason im not fitting to the new car is because it has the FW back end and would look out of place

Westfield used to do a hard top, for the narrow cars if memory serves. Issues were the variation in screen angle made the fit awkward

MG Midget roof?? Is it a possibility??

I thought only elk and wild bears lived within 20 mins !

Well, three out of four achieved so far! Albeit not necessarily as originally planned... As I kind of suspected, it turned out that the underlying wiring was pretty bodge-tastic, so it didn't take a lot of persuasion for me to throw in the towel and call in the professionals! First up, a test for the tow-car: Off to NMS! I delivered the car with no dash, wires hanging everywhere and only the ignition and starter connected. A few conversation with Troy and Steve (during which I briefly considered a replacement digital setup and a few other bits and pieces) and we settled on a fabricated bare aluminium dash with BCF's old gauges and a new set of switchgear. The final set-up I pretty much left to Steve after seeing various different options, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. After a slightly extended stay at NMS - a combination of my car needing more work than expected and NMS having a hell of a workload (victims of their own success!) I'm really happy with the new dash setup. Troy also very kindly balanced the R1 carbs for me so it runs beautifully now! And they even organised delivering the car to me as I couldn't get up there for a couple of weeks - very much appreciated. Quick run out yesterday evening after some fresh fuel: It doesn't come across all that well in photos, but the texture and finish of the bare ally dash is very, very cool... And a full house again! Next job is to give it an oil service at the weekend and then get out and enjoy it. And then think about some suspension.....

Disagree. If you can afford it and it floats your boat, go for it. Just because someone can afford what someone else can't doesn't mean they are flash, nor does it mean they are rubbing peoples nose in it. Its the sort of statement that suggests, if I can't have why should they. Live and let live

Just setting off to have new dampers fitted all round, ready for the weekend. I think i'm going to get wet driving down to Winsford
