See you on the 28th. Cheers Jim

I used carbon wrap for the floor and the firewall. Loom is in the process of being modified to fit the new dash switches and instrumentation

Here is one to tempt you lot from boring chores, work and eye tests, we went on another discovery trail today and found some brill roads that I didn't even know were there. While we were out yesterday I read a notice about a Cyclo Sportive with seven hills in it, I thought it might be an interesting route in a car, so last night I googled it, got the route and set out today to do the bits I didn't know. Oh boy, what great views and empty roads, we are doing this next weekend, Monsal Head will have to wait! The first new bit Then we went to Calver crossroads cafe for lunch and did this bit Don't ask me where we have been, there were no road numbers, but the whole trip from front door to front door was 55 miles, so I don't know what's on my own doorstep, huff.

Got a Westfield 11 about 80% built- possibly only in my mind though anyone else got one in Scotland no idea if it is viable for runs out as no idea if 1. It's going to reasonably drivable 2. If it has a cat in hells chance of keeping up 3 with no wet weather gear or an option to have any if this was one of my wisest decisions Mark t

It is easier to chisel the rivet heads off wth a sharp wood chisel rather than drill them out

goodness me.... Really, you made both changes at the same time..?

Hi Julie, It was great to meet up with you and Glen. We look forward to some good drives out over the summer. Don't worry about the power differential, I drive like an old granny :-) For those who weren't there this morning don't worry, we were in the tin top but the V8 will make an appearance in the next few weeks. all the best, Luke.

This is not a police state, it's a (mainly) benign dictatorship. For now, in your case, anyway. You must comply, Citizen.And of course you're allowed to express your opinions. How else can we tell that you're nuts so we can publicly decry you for being so utterly wrong? Finally, I'd like to remind you that you choose to pay £27.50 a year for this abuse. What does that say about you? PS: Nice work complaining about your avatar comments, but totally overlooking your car details.

I've decided to keep the change to my Avatar comment - it can serve as a permanent reminder that the WSCC forum is effectively a police state, which Scott treats as his own private fiefdom... We might as well be living in North Korea, we would certainly have more personal freedom to express our opinions..! Can you tell I'm a sore loser..? BTW - Diesels are still ****e

Was wondering if this request could be considered? Might be a rubbish idea but was going to road tax westie on the 1st of March and if meeting was on the first Sunday in March was going to go to the meeting in the westie. If it's a no then no problem will still be there but in the tin top. What do you think?

Diesels have only developed due to the Climate change b*****k*. Before, they were seen for truck & van engines. People who had a diesel car were strange, like leather elbowed teachers, or those who could nick diesel from their truck and tractors. Normal people wanted a car they could start without a cloud of blue smoke. So every manufacturer needed to develop new engines that ran without knocking you fillings out, but to do that they had to spend billions on such things as Dual mass flywheels, oil filled mountings or electronic ones. They developed so fast they became better and the final piece fell into place when they got tax advantages. I have driven them for hundreds of thousands of miles and they are the ideal lazy mans car, stick it in top wind up the turbo and they fly, on a motorways, they are refined now but they are still not nice to drive if you are enthusiastic at all. People love the torque but hate the costs of repairs as they are biblically expensive when they go wrong. But they are perfect for our stupid limits, bad roads and tax regime. A true petrol head wants the thrill of revs, to feel you are working something to get the best out of it not just sitting pressing one pedal. The sport moniker is just advertising spin. My X type jag estate had the sport pack, better seats , worse ride, but it was still a soulless engine that did what it should. A v6 petrol version would have been perfect, I had one on loan when the diesel broke down, but it would have crippled the company with the fuel consumption. Now the tree huggers have been shown the errors of their ways and instead of saving the planet they have helped to kill millions due to the cancer causing particulates, we are going back to developing petrol again. Who cannot be excited by a three cylinder rev hungry engine that can kick out 250 bhp and this will get better as cities around the world ban diesel cars. But this is all academic as in a few years time we will argue about electric motors and hydrogen, in the same way steam lorry drivers did years ago against diesels

Agree. Remove originals by drilling out rivets. Im probably going to keep the bead to take the sharp edge away from knees and arms. Probably rivnut the top panel down so I can remove it if I need access. A few poor quality pics showing before and after (not fixed yet). Hope to have a pic with the dash fitted tomorrow

Thanks Andy (and Mark). I do like the tunnel top. how are the edges finished? One of my biggest issues are the rubber pipping that sit between the tunnel top and the tunnel side panels. Do you drill out the rivets and remove the current tunnel top or put the new sheet over the existing? (keeping the gaitors)..?

Don't buy tool, make one. Don't know where in Essex you could get the nuts from but someone will know, even lend you some if desperate for today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfQIYLSKGwI&index=2&list=LLVNV5MyfWB3jdONIK7j3jBw
