Here is my video of the great day.

Don't forget Del, he who laughs last laughs longest

Not a problem! It was a pretty late decision / entry... The pack I got through has my name on the list, maybe a revision.

Here's a video from Sunday, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iGSRvWIctw Sorry about the cobles.

I've got an umbrella you can borrow John... :D

I hope to be there around 7:30 assuming no mechanical gremlins (it's the first motorway drive since I got her). My first time at this meet ... so please be gentle :-)

Good to know.thanks Adam!no more off topic from me..

What does it spell???

bazzer , will you please get your missus to cover up , I'm finding it very difficult to read any of your posts

Better drive out of slow corners especially (doesn't want to spin up the inside rear wheel), more likely to slide and more consistent when it does, can induce more corner entry understeer depending on the type of LSD. Also, David and Maurici... thanks a lot for the kind words. Some people like to upgrade their pride and joy and that's fine, but you are both right in saying that some driver training will make the most difference - and, it will be useful in any subsequent vehicle, not just the one you have now! Adding 30bhp or some new dampers might gain you 1-2s a lap, but I bet I could find most Westfield owners 5s within half a day of instruction...

That sounds just great Robin - well done!

I've been there twice in May, last year and the year before.. weather was fine. Tbh though I've visited Knockhill probably eight times, and consider myself lucky to have seen not much more than a little drizzle on a couple of occasions. I think I'm definitely overdue a soaking, hence trying to watch the weather with this one.

Hi Q, I've just had a brake hose made by Earls Hoses at Silverstone https://www. earls.co.uk/ they produced it in 20 minutes from me phoning them and reasonable price. Cheers Gary

How about a hairy dinner plate spider (official taxonomic name) building a web across a down lighter. Huge spider shadow projected across the wall! Made me jump. Very quickly evicted.

Hmm might have a look into this

Great vid that Geoff, I'm all emotional now. On my journey to get to the meet point we saw this. Funny things in Yorkshire, better be carefully in the future https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPcUIDSJ9Ak14RmHj8sn-1ItqRZTqhAFJZn_uIKvtMy3Rw8M_b09esH5uCLoTmpDw/photo/AF1QipOR0RqK3MStX_vzKJYkO8aRULG1quwXRtga9EVr?key=Z3ZraXV3ZU1YZE8talA0ejlXc21aalpZSDdjTXRB

Brilliant

Just the inter - very dry in the end which was lucky!

The Eastern leg of the Coast to Coast went very well, much better than the rained off West leg the day before. The day started well with Richard, Marcus and new boy Simon, in his newly built and registered FW, meeting at my house for a run down the back way to the Fox and Grapes for a 10:30 start. It started to rain as we set off, but had stopped before we got to the pub, where Geoffrey and Frank were waiting for us. Craig and his mate soon arrived and Chris turned up just before we were to set off. But then Marcus got a text from Terry, "I'll be there at 10:45, wait for me." We did, and set off about 11:00. We headed down the A64 towards the York Ring Road, but first the obligatory stop, Geoff for fuel, the rest for a wee. I had intended to go the A19 up to Thirsk and up Sutton Bank, but doing a trial run on Friday, I missed the turn off but found a road to Helmsley at the next roundabout, it turned out to be a better road taking us through a few small villages and on to Helmsley. It was then on to the A170 and on to Kirby Moorside and Pickering. Heading over the North Yorkshire Moors, the weather started to close in a little, the road was damp with a bit of spray, but no rain, although it did get a bit cold. Before we got to the Blue Bank and into Sleights, we could see Whitby bathed in sunshine, well it looked brighter over the Abbey. So a steady drive through the town, over the bridge and up to the Abbey car park where we were met by Rob, waiting patiently by the roadside. A hours parking paid for, and a walk down to the town for Fish and Chips, after a visit to the toilet. After probably the most expensive Fish and Chips I've not sat down to eat we were off again. A quick top up and down the coastal road to Scarborough. We got behind a couple of cars taking it steady, so I had chance to see the 8 Westfields snaking behind me, it did look good. Straight through Scarborough along Marine Drive and the Seafront, some admiring glances and lots of people taking photos, must start charging, and on to Filey. I was tempted to go around Olivers Mount, but thought it was hard enough trying to keep 9 cars together on the road so what would it be like on a race track! We did loose Frank here, but I knew he was going. On to Filey, a small town that closes at 6:00 (I'm not joking) where we parked on The Brigg for a photo opportunity. We tried to get the Nissan in the distance to move, he was spoiling our shot, but no matter how much Geoff asked him, he wouldn't budge. It was now 4:00, so after another toilet visit we made our way home, Geoff left us and we carried on to Bridlington and along the A166 to Stamford Bridge. Now this is when I started to get a bit panicky. My oil pressure started to drop, down to 20psi at 50mph and nearly zero as we went down Garrowby Hill. The engine felt and sounded good, So I decided to carry on. Hitting the A64, and we all went our separate ways. I carried on with Simon behind me and pulled off the A64 at Tadcaster and home. I found my oil problem, no oil. I've had a leak from the rocker cover gasket for a while, but must have got worse over the days run. I made a new gasket tonight, think I got it sealed, just need some oil now. A big thanks to Richard, Marcus, Simon, Frank, Geoffrey, Craig, Chris, and Terry and Caroline.

I bet you never thought you would see a fairy on the back of a Westfield did you?

What a great event! We got to do the International Circuit in the end too - going round the banking was a great experience. One other Westfield, and I counted 7 or 8 seven-type cars which was nice. The car exceeded my expectations and the new R888R's were sensational

Had a great run down and back and a cracking day there A long day and just short of 300 miles Worth every minute Thanks for arranging

You should always keep a glass of water by your bedside. On a night when you are asleep, the spiders come and drink out the tear ducts in the corners of your eyes. You know when they have been as you have dried spider saliva in the corners of your eyes.

That reminds me, I've got one of those (similar)! Perfect for the job Cheers! Here's what I've bought myself for my birthday
