A video of the cars https://youtu.be/Wujq08Ts-UM A video of the Bomber https://youtu.be/6v-xv-9QNrs

In addition to the imminent forum software upgrade, the website is also quietly being tinkered with in the background. Can't give you an actual ready date yet but it will be a major revamp. Quite agree that it's needed and has been for some time. We will get there!

Sorry guys but I'm super proud. I've just completed my first and only Marathon! Has anyone else ever done one?, if so how was yours?

I'm getting to understand how Henry Ford felt...

After the cake, it was Bomber time. A cute little kit car, made of all sorts and then donated to the museum. The Taxy run, why is it you stand there, mouth open with your heart beating fast for no apparent reason. Then they let a load of poppies out of the wing flaps and this strange lump appears in your throat. Brilliant. The the Royal British Legion riders displayed Then it was our turn I did well there, an account of the day and I never mentioned Martyn's failed WINDSCREEN WIPERS or his INDICATORS, I said I wouldn't mention them . After fuelling up, which proved challenging when 2 stations had run out of petrol, we went our separate ways. A strange drive home, the roads were all straight and flat and then, with the roof on, we had not got twenty layers of clothing on, weird.

I think you have done a great job on the instructions. I like the little pictures that make things clear and also the fact that it is written in straight forward english with simple words that I understand. The fact that you have described the colours of the cables would give me a degree of confidence to have a go myself when I would have paid someone to do it for me.

Good Luck Simon That's a cracking car you've bought there hope to see you at a SS event sometime next year Oh and to the club Martin

Well, I don't want to be known as the "mystery buyer" forever so I can confirm that I bought the car from Stephen. I currently have a 2.0 Zetec which is now for sale on the site. I have attended a few WSSC events such as a track day at Silverstone earlier this year and a Cotswold run with the N. Oxford section, although I can't generally make the meeting nights as these clash with a Flying Club Club Committee meeting I am Secretary for. The car is a credit to the careful development Stephen has put in to it and I had the most fantastic first drive out in it today on one of my favourite circular routes over the 'downs' South of Wantage. I can comfortably say it is the quickest car I have owned* and I look forward to learning how to get the best out of it. (*Previous cars include a couple of E34 M5's, 944S2, plus earlier Westfields. I also have a Ducati 996 and it feels about as quick as this!) I try and combine Westfield ownership with my other hobbies and I have been flying radio control 'discus launch' models competitively. I have been in the GB team for the past 3 years and took part in the World Championships in Croatia this year (a 3 week trip via Austria and Slovenia in our motorhome). My plans are to ease off the competitive flying and spend more time focussing on trackdays and the Westfield. This is something I can do with my youngest Son (a keen petrolhead with a MK1 MX-5 and KTM motorbike). Once I feel comfortable with the car I would love to try some sprints, so although I won't be jumping in with both feet in 2016 it is a distinct possibility in the future..... I have already booked Abingdon for the 13th November so hoping it stays dry for a proper 'familiarisation' Simon.

Just an excuse to see you sweetheart xx

I can deliver it if you want.

I've just eaten a Snickers.

I think they need to have driving lessons or retire

I'll have my cable in black ;-)

Thanks to all at WSC for opening their doors and their hospitality on a very wet Saturday, and to all who came as well. It's great the factory and the club have such a friendly relationship that we can have these events, and long may it continue. Great to see you all, and fun to watch the wallets being prized open and food devoured. We even signed up a few new members.

Mike, When you're ready I'll have a kit please Jon

I didn't turn up until 2.30pm gone, (blumin' football traffic in Wolverhampton!) but still in time to "do a bit of business"!

My dad and I enjoyed the day. Great to meet Julie Martin Sue bob and everyone else. Great seeing Just Jane again Always a special place for me and dad Some great photos posted there! Andy and my dad Henry

Oh wow, what an amazing day...again. Although the rain was never heavy I can say that it did rain from meeting in Newark at The Friendly Farmer, all day, until we got right to the front door at 6.10pm. All except for the 30 minutes the Bomber came out of the hangar, creepy. We got home in the light though, better than the 'Via Gellia road by candlelight' of the previous few weeks. Is there a Meatloaf song somewhere in that sentence? 4 Westfields and 6 members is a great turn out and I cannot thank everyone enough for coming, you are great, nuts, but great nuts. We met MartnV and Sue, Sean and Emma (Ormus Knight) at a dry Friendly Farmer, where we had breakfast. Until it rained It was a soggy run there and we picked AndrewBClarke and Clare up on the way. Bob(S2rrr) was waiting for us when we arrived and we got treated very, very well. We were parked in a display area near the RBL bikes and the MG Club cars. Then it was cake time, surrounded by memorabilia, see cake even comes before the plane. We had an hour or so to look around the museums. There were aircraft wrecks, displays of life in the war years and loads of interesting stories and facts. I reckon if you spend about a week in there you might just get round it all. Then we met up with Andy (Greenstreak) and his dad, Henry, the star of the day. I felt very humbled to be stood next to him, a man that maintained Bombers during the war. Who can say they did that today? Crashed Aren't we an ugly bunch, don't get too close

Just got back, managed to miss most of the rain. Same I couldn't miss most of the cow poo/ slurry. Great to meet a few new faces & regular ones of course. Just put car away & guess what, blue sky's & sunshine.

Wow - It certainly looks like that now albeit used but not sure of its the same car. The original demo was in Orange/Black Livery - see it on you tube below I need to work out how to post pictures to the ad but haven't had time to work it out yet - anyone with and ideas? Malgene
