Going to make a start on my new toy from my beloved! happy xmas to all at WSCC Andy

Merry Christmas everyone. Just had a lovely drive out for a couple of hours. The roads where clear and the weather its lovely for a winters day. Poor Buttercup had forgotten what it is like to be out and about. Hope you all have a great day.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas! I hope Santa has brought you many nice things as I'm sure you've all been good boys and girls (or as good as you're capable of being!). Just getting ready for the onslaught of guests we have coming to fill the house, and to give our tummies and livers a workout! Whatever you do today and however you do it, enjoy the day and thanks for being a part of our huge extended dysfunctional family!

I used to do the frozen north thingy but here in Norfolk the sky is blue, the washing is drying nicely on the line and the temp is in double figures. Best wishes to one and all for Christmas and the New Year. Steve, the nurse will see you shortly (you mad bu99er)!!

Society's weird fascination with the best-selling fictional novel of all time brought me quiet roads. The wake of storm Barbara brought me warm weather and wet roads. I bought myself a tank of Shell's finest. Best Westy presents you can get

Merry Christmas to one and all from not so sunny Alberta Canada.

Merry Christmas from Montana USA. I hope it's a wonderful day where you are an that you can take the Westie out for a blat. It's about 15°F here and snowing sideways so I'm going skiing! All the best and thanks for having me here. Dave

Numbers are climbing which is great

Good morning Guys and Gals, There has been much talk over the past two or three years in relation to the number of people competing in Motorsport, and that includes our prestigious Speed Series Championship. There are many reasons for this including financial crashes, MSA rule changes and dare I say it our own successes. We now have a record number of events to choose from, and clearly we cannot attend them all! My intention in helping run the Speed Series Facebook page is to capture the moment of SS, add the fun factor back in and generally promote what we do and why we love it. The more people that can see this the better chance we have of promoting new competitors, spectators and who knows maybe even future Champions! So who am I? For those who don't know, I'm Richard Kerr (Scottish Bloke) and have been around the club and Westfield's for around 15 years. My passion for the sunburst started a little before this and due to a change in circumstances I was able to buy my first Westfield in 2003. Having joined our local club and meeting Nick (Algar) the rest is history. I started competing in the Speed Series the following year in a very tidy red narrow body car. Within several events I managed to win the class I was in and graduated to a more powerful car, very long and expensive story short, the Speed Series Bug had bitten. (I blame Nick) I have been lucky enough to compete at a reasonable level every year since and still regard my Championship win in 2009 as one of my finest life achievements and something I'm incredibly proud of. Speed Series has been a huge part of my life and is somewhere I have met the majority of the people I call my closest friends. I personally feel that promotion via Facebook will help greatly in promoting our series to a much wider audience. It'll be a place where you can post pics and videos from events 'as they happen' straight from your phone. Whilst we can do some of these things on the boardroom, we are only alerting SS competitors or boardroom members and the 'instant hit' capturing the moment isn't possible. The SS FB page will be monitored and administrated by myself and other boardroom officials, who are all very keen to keep the page SS focused and in no way should detract from boardroom activity. Posts that are not relevant will be removed. Boardroom will remain the place for rules, MSA changes, Results, Tel's Tales, target times or raise Technical Queries, this must be done through the correct channels on the boardroom as is done currently. Over the next few days you may receive an invite from me to join the page, or by all means add yourself. Please remember, this is a Speed Series page, photos of your Christmas dinner, your dog stuck in the chimney after chasing Santa, or granny's teeth in the custard jug may be tolerated but Speed Series Chat fun and banter in the main please. Please drop me a PM with any ideas you have to include on the page, I'll probably start things off with a Driver/car bio and take things from there building the page and the audience. Merry Speed Series Christmas and an Upgragey New Year Find us here https://www.facebook.com/WSCCSpeedSeries/ Rich

It's good to know you're on the scene again Geoffrey. You have been missed! We'll meet up again when you're back in The Highlands in '17. Sorry to hear you've had a rough time lately. Cheers, David

Ballcock in the water tank here last year - wifey spotted water dripping thru' into the airing cupboard as it was over filling, mad dash to the local plumb shop as he was cashing up on Christmas Eve - Gave the bloke a Christmas drink and he sold me one - was a git to replace, 25yr old unions seized etc but between the plumb shop and me we saved Christmas and a hefty call out fee ... We have one of those walking headlamp thingies in the kitchen - got me out of trouble a few times, especially as the wife is determined to keep all spare bulbs in the shed ..

+1 on a Guy Martin book, and a DVD.

Always thought you were a Nutter , now you've gone and proved it Merry Christmas from Wigan England unseasonal 55F here right now

Merry Christmas to all, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. @Davemk1 Un-seasonal 59 f here, been out in shorts and t-shirt to chop logs for tomorrow when winter will resume.

Happy Christmas Scott, and fellow members....

Thanks Men for the replies. ROGER. The past few months have been "difficult" for me but things ok now and my time is back again.

My car related gift was a gopro well chuffed with that Bizarrely in the same box as some new undercrackers, maybe the Mrs is implying that the new car may be a handful Merry Christmas all!

Thanks Scott, Best Wishes for Christmas to you and yours too! As we've sadly lost our Santa smiley, have a big one from me!

Retired early at 59, and used the skills the company didn't want to go freelance. Ended up with a years work back at my previous employer at twice the salary, then a couple of contracts at a substantial premium to emplyed rate. Found that the cost of marketing / schmoozing potential clients to be high and then they wanted to make their lack of planning my emergency, so found i could cope on pension and shut down company. Much rejoicing at home.

Isn't it "If you were king?"

Working for a consultancy on a project by project basis sounds good to me. It all depends on the strength of your contacts.

Well, I think that's the winner in the coldest place the anniversary shirt has been worn. Merry Christmas to you too, eh?

Oh my god. He's in his undercrackers !!

Merry Christmas Steve! Had to do a double take on those photos, thought you'd got the Christmas turkey on your head at first!!

Well.. I've had a crafty feel of my present.. I'm not sure if its a 300bhp duratec ... or socks.

I've only got one of it NOT fitted
