Just to say... thanks for a great evening out guys! Please forgive me if I was a bit "enthusiastic"... you can probably tell that I don't get out much! Hope to see you again. Ken

Oh no poor Dave, Christmas shopping, can't think of anything worse. Have a read of this and I hope it makes it more bearable for you. Glen and I arrived at MacD's and sat there wondering who would be brave enough to turn up as the rain was really coming down. Along came Trevor, Russ and Martyn and Sue. Everyone was in a full set of waterproofs, especially Russ with his aeroscreen, roll cage and bike helmet, sod this roof malarkey, it's for girls is it? Over a cuppa everyone collectively agreed that it was my fault that we keep coming out in the rain because I keep organising things, I would say sorry I will stop it but I am not and I won't . Besides we are used to it now, it's the norm. We took the short journey to my workplace, Veolia, where our engineering manager and motorbiker/petrolhead Nigel was waiting for us. We broke every rule in the book as petrol engines are not allowed on site, we didn't have a site safety induction or wear any PPE. We took our turns on the weighbridge and everyone got a print out of their weight. The lightest, Russ, was the most disappointed, no doubt he is in the garage right now turfing stuff out of his car. I had a full tank of petrol and an asrenal of tools under the bonnet so I was not surprised to be the heaviest. I think Martyn and Trevor were quite pleased with their weight. The weights were Russ 580kgs Trevor 620kgs Martyn 660kgs Julie 680kgs We had tea, biscuits and a warm. Trevor spiced things up a bit, he suggested that we guess our (people not cars) collective weight and the one who guesses the nearest gets a bottle of fizz, which he had bought in readiness. The weighbridge weighs in 20kgs, so to see if it would weigh us accurately I went and stood on it. Naked I am just short of 60kg, so dressed I guess it will be pretty accurate if the read out said 60kg, which it did. So like the daft sods that we all are, we went outside in the rain and stood on the weighbridge. Nigel recorded the weight and announced the winner, which was Martyn at 540kg. Just out of interest that was the heaviest guess which goes to show you are fatter than what you think you are! Martyn and the winning bottle of fizzy We took the short drive to Netherthorpe Airfield and although there were no planes flying we got a tour of the hangar before heading to the clubhouse. I have 3 months membership as it is members only. The food was fresh cooked excellence and service was good. Parked at the airfield, still raining The hangar I led everyone back to the motorway and on the way Russ did a spectacular right turn, wiggling all over the road in my rear view mirror he was, he looked great. Next Saturday, it is the Santa run so get dressed up, put some fairy lights on your car and lets go and wave at all the kids who will be surely fed up of Christmas shopping by then. See the separate posting in Events. Thanks Trevor for the fun quiz and thanks all for coming you nutters.

I've owned my westfield for a year and bought it for the occasional track day (tick), but more for fun driving evenings and weekends. Most of these weekend drives have been organised by Julie (one careful lady owner), who finds the time to plan, test drive the routes, find interesting place to visit/eat and organise people to join the drives. I've only attended a few of the events because of family and work commitments, but the effort Julie and Glen have invested over the past year have ensured there are always 1-2 events a month and a growing group of cars/drivers joining the group (so there are always a few cars to make the drive fun ) THANK YOU one of best reasons for joining the club Happy Christmas to all

But not the handsome one as that's me. The above said thanks for the help guys, all done in a day simply awesome. Terry

Has anybody noticed who seems to be doing most of the work

I agree Wunoff do a really nice repackable silencer and will deliver to Tony Law Exhausts for fitting together with an excellent manifold. But maybe too far as they are in Leeds/Bradford area http://www.wunoff.co.uk/ http://www.tonylawexhausts.co.uk/
