THanks Q, I've already converted to eyelets and modified my seats so I'm ok!

We have not been here for ages and we are due a visit, so anyone from this end please meet us at The Wheatsheaf, Baslow, DE45 1SR at 10.00 am. Hopefully we can pick up some raggamuffins from the north at The Flouch, S36 4HH at 11.30am all go in together. Although the journey is interesting for us, there is not really a run out involved so come in your tin top if you must and have a chat, a bit of lunch and we will try and get home in the light. Anybody interested?

They left big bicycle reflectors on the moon. They fire lasers at them and time how long it takes to get back to measure the distance to the moon. It increases by and inch and a half every year. There again, perhaps the man in the moon has a bicycle, and he pedals very slowly

Great day Russ - a handful of westies plus loads of Nissan GTRs which got in the way :-)

It wouldn't surprise me. I have the 2 piece mount on that side http://parts-shop.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=216&search=Zetec+mount Rubber mount http://parts-shop.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=712&search=Engine+rubber

The round bit of the roundhouse The outside yard Oh, and the cars. The VX hogged the photo here The Motley Crue with their cars, thanks Glen for taking the photo We then went the whole, full one minute journey to Nona's on the Chesterield canal, which was fun under the railway bridge, oh it's been a very noisy day today, hasn't it Dave!!! That's enough of cars, it's time for a cake moment, so I mentioned the chocolate cake with a cream filling earlier, well here it is. That was the end, unless you want more? everyone did, so off we went, through Chesterfield - did you all wave at my dad? He knows I go out in my car but I don't think he could believe his eyes when us lot drove past him. Back through the Peak District to Hulme End Tea Junction cafe. The owner there is closing after today to have an operation, so we thought we would show our gratitude and give her a last bit of business, wish her Happy New Year and promise to return in March. Most just had drinks but some people had more, including Rebecca who had lost the De out of her Detox by having ice-cream, good lass. Now I was thinking I had better let everyone get home in the daylight, however Glen had other ideas by mentioning that we were only 5 minutes from 'the tunnel' Dave, Big Andy and Andy have never driven the tunnel experience so off we went for a quickie. Glen kindly filmed it and we have dropped our speed to avoid a Section 59 but I was at 6000 rpm and making a lot of noise, how was it for you??? https://youtu.be/N6xLfjiMPAc We headed back to the A515 and split for home, which was in the dark, but at least this week I had clear lenses in my glasses and could see where I was going. On a somber note we all wore black ribbons today on our cars to remember people that are no longer with us in their Westfield's It has been a fantastic day, started at 7.30 by watching the Caterhams racing at Donnington on Channel 4. Westfield driving sandwiched in the middle, and finishing with Lewis Hamilton in Mexico, fun, fun, fun. Nothing is happening next weekend because we are at our nephews wedding, the weekend after is the Oil Can Cafe on the Sunday and depending on the weather we might try our new road, Thorncliffe Bank to the Mermaid Inn on the Saturday. Take care and we will see you then.

We promptly met at Matlock in time to NOT catch a train, if you know what I mean. We were going to see it, not travel on it. There was Alan, Dave, Paul VX, Ian, Andy and Rebecca, Martyn and Sue, and us, excellent turnout folks, well done. We went to Peak Rail and the train was in, BUT, no steam. Martyn took the sting out of my disappointment by informing me that it was a Deltic engine, so that made it better. Thank you to Ian for filming it's departure and posting it on here. We got parked in front of the train and suddenly this red Westfield wizzed in from out of nowhere. Hhaa, it was Big Andy and Debbie, who had made good use of the extra hour, packed the caravan away early doors and rushed out to join us, brill! Peak Rail I got a front row seat in Dave's show, you could charge for this, oh the noise The Peak District wearing it's autumn collection The roads didn't dry up and we set off through Bakewell, nice and noisy over the bridge, the Westfield's have arrived and we are letting you know about it. On to Curbar which is a very speed conscious village on a steep hill. So in low gear we went the 30 mph and hit the throttle at the National Speed Limit sign, straight into the Curbar Corner, swishing around and along our way to the Roundhouse. There were 2 policemen waiting for us there and I am thinking it's not me, what has Glen done now!!! They disappeared so I guess we were alright this time. A man came to tell us that the cafe was closed due to ill health and when we went to the Deltic Shed the sign told us that it was only open on Saturday's, so it was a quicker visit than intended. Shear Legs - hand operated and used for lifting steam locomotives to access wheels or axelboxes.

Gutted couldn't make it, But at least I did get out for a very brief local blat round the block

Another great day out with the Peak District lot what a laugh.

Thanks to the fact they were made out of nylon and have been bombarded with solar radiation for 40+ years, the red, white and blue American flags on the Moon most likely have been bleached white by now. So now they're French flags.

First time something "driving" past me has made my windows shake! Just got back in, another great day of caking on fantastic cakes. Er sorry, blatting on fantastic roads!

Another great day out! Cake, trains, cake trains and tunnel! https://youtu.be/pt5Y7TWq6DI

I'll have the pair if they work as a 4 point.

Anyone know of any offers on tickets for the classic cars show at the NEC Cheers

Just an occasional mute switch would suffice....... Although mine was out on the lash last night and is looking very peeky and is extremely quiet today. Bliss

Just think about that for a bit and you have got them all. 1) Your Mrs, she always looking after you. 2) Your Westfield 3) The pointy toe of the stilletto when you push your luck with 1)

I want the robot butler, flying car and jet pack I was promised by the TV programme Tomorrow's World.

Collected my JK's yesterday,well pleased with them Just in case anybody comes across this thread looking for the runners required part number the Sparco ones from Tweeks are exactly the same as the OMP ones,I had both side by side on the counter at Tweeks and they are identical! Apart from the Sparco ones are nearly £10 each cheaper! OMPHC655 £35.46 S/S0049302 £26.36

Shameless copy post from locostbuilders http://theoldmotor.com/?p=136808 5 litre v8 only 470kg and at 110 yrs old still does hill climbs! I love the exposed valve gear and how the equally exposed camshaft gets oiled with a can before starting! this is worth a look

Concorde was never that. I would actually say the demand for Concorde would be stronger now than it was in its day. There is certainly a much larger extremely wealthy customer base that would use it today than there was then. One of my biggest regrets is that I did not seize an opportunity I had to fly on it. Towards the end you could fly to the U.S. business class and come back Concorde for a tiny extra amount David
