My car passed IVA, westfield sent off the paperwork yesterday so I'm getting excited now!!

Just thought I would share what I've been up to these last few weeks, having decided to take a break from racing and do some more track days. The idea was to come up with something I could thrash without worrying, was cheap and faster than the race car. I set myself a budget of a grand and a month in which to achieve this... The story started exactly a month ago, with this 1992 UK model car - a good runner but out of MOT - picked up for £500. It immediately gained the nickname of 'The Red Munter': At this point it was 954kg, including some lovely cushions and a selection of CDs: Before I'd even collected it I'd sold the roof for £100, so that gave me £600 to play with. I also forgot that we run a weekend event in May each year, which took a whole a week of my schedule, leaving 3 weeks to do all the work... Fast forward to yesterday, exactly a month later, now 803kg and it was out on track And actually under budget by nearly £20! I've got loads of other pics and blurb which I can post up if anyone is interested, it's been quite a hectic month As I've said elsewhere, the idea behind this car is to show people that you can have a lot of fun for very little money, so if you ever see me out and about on a track day please come and introduce yourself so we can get you in the driver's seat for a few laps Cheers, Adam

Thanks OP for posting this thread, and Q for the above link, I've just done mine FOC! Like the OP I had tried to update a while ago but baulked at the quoted £75 to complete it, so left it until now. Great club this!

Think it was because it was a new event. Aintree is because they dropped the 3 sisters on the Sunday but I have had words about that.

Looks like their Google search count just shot up

I should be ok for the 12th or 19th at the moment - 12th might be better, as it gives a weekend off to earn brownie points before Nev's BBQ? Matt

welcome westy buddy :-) have fun

Stu T5 Camper and a Westy, sounds like we should get on well :d Enjoy your new toy

Hi Stu I have sent you an email Jas

Welcome!

Get out in it. If you've got a plate and confirmation. I remember when I got my plates for mine the first time. Ice on the roads but I still had 10 mins ... Great feeling enjoy it

Hi |Party Goers Time marches on towards the 10 July and the Blyton extravaganza! I now need to draw the attention of the attendees to Gluten Free Annual Dinner of the obligatory ADMIN: 1) Menu Selection Please go to the Pub Website: blackhorseblyton.co.uk and make your meal selection and advise me accordingly ASAP 2) Transport The Pub don't have Mini a Bus but I have an option on a local guy to provide one for just over £3-00 per head total (tip not included)for up to 16 people from the circuit @ 7-00 pm returning @ 10-00 pm. It will cost a little more if he makes an additional trip if the demand is over 16 I REALLY NEED TO KNOW IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IF YOU WANT ME TO CONFIRM THIS OUSTANDING SERVICE! I WANT TO BE FAIR TO THE GUY! Please let me know on this one even if you have not made your Menu Selection. 3) Entertainment Hour Good and Bad News on this one I am afraid, the Pub were very happy for us to have our own entertainment but my 2 alternatives for the Gig have both received better offers (how dare they!) So if any of you out there are able to provide some appropriate entertainment for about an hour after your hearty meal PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME FORWARD ASAP! That's all folks at this time so I look forward to replies very shortly! Many thanks Gluten Free

Hope to see you on the 7th stu and welcome again, I assume you got accommodation sorted in the end

Welcome, sounds like a great first trip!

Hi Stu Reading your intro was like I wrote it myself!! I am from Fareham, bought a Seight, 2 years ago I drove it home 300 miles without missing a beat, I used to have an Audi TT, my brother-inlaw has a T4 Camper and I am a biker too with a Hayabusa Be good to see some pics or meet up. Jas

Welcome to the club! Get some pics up!

Just had a call from the supervisor at DVLA - who said that she'd talked to the powers that be and "on this occasion" they will allow me to use the Westfield supplied VIN. Common sense has prevailed, though I'm not sure it won't happen again to someone who just does as they ask!

Stu!

Hello and welcome to a great club.
