After 2 years of Westfield ownership, Mrs H plucked up the courage for her first passenger ride at the weekend. To be fair, after a horrific RTA back in 2007, she's not the most confident of passengers. However she did insist. Being a responsible husband I kept things very sensible, even suggested she wear goggles over her sunglasses for safety. Anyway, she wasn't too impressed as her hair just went ballistic. Perhaps I should buy her a WSCC headscarf for Xmas???

Its the work of satan. Burn the witch..

Mine will never ever go in mine... She has never called it a westfield... 'That stupid car' is probably the nicest thing said. And since needing to call out the AA the other night she also says its crap... It might not have helped that I bought it and only told her the day before collecting it... #coldshoulder

Whilst I'm here, a bit of info/reiteration re Area 15, our infield spot. I'm heading over tomorrow afternoon / evening to set-up a gazebo, table and a couple of chairs along with helium tank and the remaining 30th balloons. I'll also plant a few 30th feather flags. I WILL NOT be around Friday (or Sunday day time), but I know a lot of you will so please... Do keep an eye on our stuff, park up as directed by the marshals or failing that as you think best, make use of the gazebo, table and chairs, if you feel the need, re-plant the feather flags, blow up a few balloons (making sure they do not float off!), enjoy yourselves As said before, this is not a thing where I or anyone else is supposed to set-up, run or manage, but I'm happy to fill a gazebo with WSCC stuff that we can all use to publicise the Club. If you feel the need to hang around and chat / help others, it would be much appreciated and there should be stock of canned drinks for you. 30th Tees will be dropped off Friday afternoon, again, if anyone is around to help, great. Please... treat these with respect, many Members who missed Stoneleigh and Blyton are coming to Silverstone across the entire weekend and will be most disappointed not be able to pick one up, the remainder will be packed off to the AOs for local distribution later. I'll aim to be around as much as possible on Saturday to help see fair play, your help and understanding whilst I'm not around would be appreciated. Above all have fun, come find me on Saturday and tell me where not to spend my money and where the best sights are...! Thanks all

Great thank you. Planning to camp over on saturday in scarborough so i wileitherlmeet you at macdonalds or on the A171 between scarborough and whitby depending on campsite availability. I will confirm once campsite is booked uf that is ok Martin

I have a Gopro on a 8 foot selfiestick.

I tried to cut the angle again. I have the angles the same now but one wing is now shorter than the other.

I will cut the pointy end off both of them but will form a new pointy end a bit further back, if you get what I mean. A bit of filler and paint and Bob's your uncle.

Mine is ok now I've fitted a windscreen but I have to observe two golden rules: 1) Avoid motorways at all costs - especially those with loads of 40 tonne lorries 2) Acceleration must be less than half a G

This vid made me chuckle... (Warning - Caterham content..!)

not the first time i've heard that! ding dang do

With single seaters on the new Tarmac its nearer to the start line so fewer potential overheating issues. I had to turn off my engine on a couple of occasions making re starting a pain. Don't think I delayed anyone as I pulled over out of the way but then got out of number sequence. Echo all that JL says. Paddock marshals very good.

I can only comment as a bystander as I was there helping rather than competing but:- Usual great comradary amongst WSCC crowd throughout the weekend Well organised by JW and his team Paddock marshalls were great and came and rounded up competitors at the appropriate time Event flowed well apart (from stoppages for offs and rain)given the amount of entries. If the event was turned into a double lapper would this help with the amount of cars on track at once and speed up timed runs thus giving more? My poor head cant reconcile it. Mod prod cars / cars with sticky tyres / slicks should really have been on the newer tarmac area of the paddock. I understand why the layout was like it was though as the road going cars need to run first in each run Saturday evening food needs announcing more in advance so it can be given consideration Place links to the online entry system in more places as people on other forums were struggling to find them for other championships Investigate if a portaloo could be placed at the top end of the paddock as its one hell of a trek to the toilet block from the far end Don't finish timed runs at 3:30 on Sunday. I know this was the CoC's decision but it was not popular amongst competitors, but as some championships only have 2 timed runs count (eg HSA and Service Hydraulics) for their championship some competitors will not partake in further runs any way thus reducing the amount who would take them and therefore reduce the time to complete another run. and most importantly I reckon you look more like Peter Kay than a Panda

Did she complain about you driving on the wrong side of the road ?

Fixed that for you

What about a beanie hat..... Or shave her head.

We can't get away til 5pm Thursday so will be 9 or later when we arrive depending on traffic. Nick kindly dropped off the NE area flag so keep an eye out for it

Always go Portsmouth these days - partly because of our usual intended destination but also due to the potential delays at Dover/Calais There is something rather nice about sailing out of Portsmouth on the 8.45 ish boat - looking at the naval base and city as you leave - sitting down for a very nice meal in the posh restaurant, some cheesy entertainment and a few beers followed by a good nights sleep in a cabin - roll off the boat at 8.00 ish in either Caen or St Malo after a relaxed breakfast Very little queuing and all very civilised I justify the extra cost by including it as part of the holiday experience Clearly the wrong side for Spa or Germany but I would definitely go from Portsmouth if I was going to LeMan

I may be interested in the whole engine depending on the out come of mine this weekend.
