Got to admit that I have no issues with conspiracy theories per se - one of my best mates is of a similar opinion to Mulder and hence I have heard all of this before in great detail - and have looked at it in depth many times at his insistence. What I do get a tad irate about is the evangelical fervour with which this dubious nonsense (purely my opinion) is pushed upon us. Reasoned argument and debate is great - just stop trying to sell it like we are all stupid ignorant morons who are incapable of doing anything other than saying yes to the establishment. Now please present reasoned arguments in a manner befitting the gentlemanly nature of this fine automobile loving establishment Oh and show me an example where someone has faithfully recreated the moonwalk footage in a studio.

Crickey at those rates I could be tempted to sell the screen, pillars, mirrors, wipers, fillet and wiper motor I have stashed for my "what if the wife fancies" future moment!

dam u cannot afford to be on holiday when I top spec motor goes for sale note to self ,holiday are for whimps

Credit where credit is due - on 3 October 2106, I rang Soft Bits for Sevens and the phone was picked up immediately by Tristan. I ordered a set of half doors, the material type, together with a hood bag for my Westfield supplied half hood. Tristan said they were busy but he would try to send the items out in a couple of weeks. I subsequently received several email updates to let me know the progress and today - 18 October, I received both the doors and the hood bag by courier. Excellent service - and excellent quality doors and hood All i have to do now is drill some more holes in the body work and fit them!! What rivets are the best to use to mount the poppers onto the GRP bodywork??

Frantically looking for a shotgun and shovel currently .............................shhhhhhhh

You wouldn't believe what I spent on Buttercup to maker into the tourer that I wanted and its way more than that. if you gets you out and about and means you can use the car a lot more and you enjoy the car then its money well spent in my opinion.

Funny, I though you'd have liked mods that made it easier to use the car more often Sorry Stu!

can you explain why none of the official NASA photographs of the Apollo 11 landing have the earth visible in the background yet the image you have copied and linked to in your photobucket does? Prehaps a link to a crediable source where you obtained the image may convince me better

My apologies for my outburst Scott and I have deleted my errant post. But IMHO this doesn't have a place on the best car club forum that there is. Guess I just have to ignore it. Which I will

Terry, knowing my luck, you may need to look after it for 26 years....................

I agree with all of the above, just saying you could have put a marker down and not missed it.

I will take the remaining 3 bottles then please if Pete can bring to the awards doo for me please? PM me how you want paying

thought about doing Denmark, Sweden and Norway instead?

Hang on to the Westie ! You know you'll miss it when it's gone and little else (in our price bracket) gives as much excitement per pound. When I first got mine there was no way my dearest was going in it - tba it was a bit of a stripped out street racer (fibreglass bucket seats, aeroscreen, no heater, no carpet, little in the way of trim). The biggest "improvement" I made was last year when I finally got fed up with the hassle of the aeroscreen (helmet, always watching for flying debris etc) and fitted a screen, wipers and washers and deflectors I bought off another member (I already had solid half doors). It has totally transformed it for me and along with some half decent seats (which I need to turn into decent seats so we can go out on longer trips next year). No heater though as I only use it from April to October and never been cold. My wife will go out in it now - albeit she still doesn't like the wind buffeting over 60mph (she wears contact lenses and they tend to get messed about) but is getting used to the speed but not the acceleration - so I leave that to when I'm on my own or at least tell her I'm about to overtake something to which she says she's quite impressed with how quickly, and safely, you can get by something ! Last trip out though, and sods law, a wasp got blown into the cockpit and ended up stinging her - she hates wasps more than I detest spiders but took it remarkably well (just one of those things she said) but Xmas present for Westie is going to be a SoftBits half hood and a nice soft flying helmet and probably some goggles !! Her hobby is really her horse but I've been there done that - so now we have a hobby each and I help with the horse at weekends so come the summer, we both now get to enjoy the Westie (I get the better deal as come winter I can just potter up the garage if I want to - she has to muck out the horse every day come wind, rain or snow ) So basically, I'd try the creature comforts route and go easy on the throttle until they become accustomed to it (and always warn them if you intend to floor it for some reason). Good luck with whatever you do.

Can the new owner please step forward

Sale agreed to a fellow WSCC member

Thanks Robert, but my brain can't cope with anything thats not round

It'll be fine. None of these things are show stoppers, just minor niggles that you need to resolve. Trying to remember now if I moved the engine mount support plates forward or perhaps extended them a bit to accommodate the mor forward location. For sure, bolt engine and box together then get them in the hole as a unit, with the main components available so you can make sure everything fits. I think I also had to put a small dent in one branch of the exhaust manifold to clear the side diagonal tube as well.

The amount of downforce is incalculable!!

Yep all booked up, never been to Oulton Park before but has been on the wish list for a loooooong time! Seems a bargain price too.

haha. Thankyou.

"I think not" said Descartes. He promptly vanished! (unashamedly stolen from another, much cleverer, contributor)

good for another 15mph that was....I sort of miss it....

If the weathers ok I'll be along.

Cheers Barry I'll probably just get one from danst I see they have the correct on I need

If I sell my car before you sell yours, I will be in touch!

Honestly... Make it a car that you can both use and enjoy. The expense would come second compared to the 'togetherness" Its so lovely to just go out for tea or a nice drive if its nice... together. Its a no brainer for me.

The rain was diabolical but the places and the company were excellent as usual

I said I would un-pipe the boiler and plug one pipe in each of her ears and heat the house that way . Thats why I built the car so quick, as she kicked me into the garage
