Well it's been a long road and not with out its problems started over 2 year's now and started with a gearbox fault and then a clutch problem but hopefully that's long in the past, I then continued to do a full interior refit and I shared some pics along the way but it's all complete apart from I few gremlins with the dash2 and fitting My RAC roll bar(big thanks to Dommo for collecting it and bringing it down to Cornwall for me Thanks again mate) and new AA composites boot box but that can wait until I'm back on the road so hear are still few pics a(all you weight watches look away now lol) New custum carpets the standard westfield seats were reformed and reshaped so although they look like standard westfield seat when side by side you can see the difference and not forgetting they are now heated. The standard contoured dash has been slightly modified and recovered and the my home made switch panel Steering wheel controls is a PLC controlled with tell tail LED'S in the switchs So I would just like to say a big thanks to everyone that's helped me with info and advice and all being well see you all at Silverstone Cheers Martin

OK, hopefully that got people's attention. But it's annoying isn't it, now you're here, after opening up a thread with a misleading title. That's also how people feel when they open up a sales advert, read all the way through, sometimes over a page or two, only to find the item's been sold. PLEASE, PLEASE, try and remember to edit the title of your threads to say SOLD, once the transaction has been completed. It's dead easy, just go back and edit your first post, click on the button beneath the text box, the one thatsays "Use Full Editor", Non You'll then see in a blue outlined box labelled "Topic Title" near the top of the page, just click inside it and you can edit your title. You don't have to delete or change your post in any other way, just add SOLD to the title please You never know, it might be you it helps next time

Weather has warmed a bit, salt had been washed away and weekend is forcast to be dry. Who's up for a Sunday morning Blat?

kids love them and you cant blame them..its the lazy parents that need sorting out!

Just looking at the 'buttons, buttons, buttons' picture and thinking about Robin's rant regarding naughty children - maybe they think our cars are exhibits that they are allowed to play in? Just a thought.

Dad buttons, buttons, buttons!!!!!!! too much excitement for some :-)

What a great day Geoffrey thanks for organizing

Cheers guys the car was MOTed yesterday and passed without any advisors here is a video clip of the car in 2014 but the car has only done 2k and dry stored and only used in the dry since and the photos I've seen confirm the condition is the same (I have posted this on another post on here) https://youtu.be/Ja9qUkB5m3Y I have heard about the wheel tuck is there any mods to cure it?

B&Q car park, 12 Westfields and 3 AO's and it was raining. I had to stop twice on the way home, first because my flag pole tried to escape from the bag and try to attack a BMW, and secondly to tighten my mirror that had come loose from kids climbing into the cars when we weren't with them. Why do parents think it's OK to let them climb into our cars? Would they let them open the door of a Ferrari or Lamborghini and jump inside? Just because Westfields are open, it's not an open invitation to help yourselves. Thanks to Judy for seeing some off. Rant over.

You came past my house Pete, at the traffic light roadworks between Fyfield and Ongar. I called out to you but you were "progressing" after the roadworks Was a lovely day for it

Had a fantastic run out this morning, warm and sunny and linked up some nice smooth windy roads - shame about a couple of Sunday drivers that we came across. Turns out that the Cafe owner has got an S3 Lotus Seven with an x touring car vauxhall engine in it If anybody is interested this was the route today which was very scenic and quiet.

Thanks for resolving

What an excellent turn out, full of surprises. The first one was Barry and Andrew, I was chuffed to bits when I saw them pull into the car park, complete with roof on, well done you two, I know you both hate the rain and cold. The second surprise was Frank, coming all the way from Harrogate, OK, in an MX5, but we like those too and his most immaculate Westfield is still waiting in the garage for next time. Another surprise was Pre-lit Steve waiting for us to arrive at the Oil Can Cafe, complete with wife, two of the children and the wife's sister, I hope they all liked the place. The final surprise was a late entry from Jamie in his Cobra, well would you bring yours out in the rain if you owned one? no, I thought not. The great thing about Westfield's is that they are universal enough to bring out in all weathers. The Strines All these surprises does not take away the great respect given to Robin and Martyn/Sue who also came along. We all met at The Strines and got quite cosy with both real fires lit and the rain coming down outside. A group of gentlemen introduced themselves to us, they were from the Cobra club but had not bought their cars today, the Jag was rather nice though. We finally braved the outdoors and set off to the Oil Can Cafe, along a very wet, slippy, difficult road with brand new tarmac in places mmm. We had a look around the garage before getting some lunch and indulging in more car talk with an added topping of some Cobra talk. I hope Roger Moore enjoy's this story Jamie! The Oil Can Cafe We came out of the cafe and...yoo hoo... the rain had stopped, so we all agreed to go home topless and went our separate ways. We passed an accident on the Strines road, I said it is was a naughty road, take your eyes off it for one second and it will have you. Martyn and Sue came to our house to give their Westfield a bath before heading off to a hotel. The sun was blazing away, a bit late but there you go. Then Glen and I set to on cleaning our Westfield, ready for an early start in the morning. Please let it be dry at Elvington tomorrow. The Cobra

After the torrential rain and crap roads today we made a pit stop at Julie and Glen's to wash the car. Now at hotel having had a great carvery washed down with real ale and live band to start shortly, not sure we will be up in the morning though!!!

I'd be surprised at an outright ban*, though I can see restricted flying areas specifically in respect of drones, I can also see water stricter regulation, up to and including licensing. *Though I could see ever stricter regulations on where they can be flown steadily making it so limiting that many just give up on them.
