This might be a bit of a sore subject, but I never actually got a photo of Dave's car, it went a bit quick and that was it, done and parked up, oops. The good news is though that I managed a few snaps of the other cars. Stephen's 11 looking very stunningly beautiful. Simon's Westfield, below, is 30 years old, so if you are like me and wondering about the longevity of your car, don't worry, it could possibly out live you. By the size of the smile on his face I think it is safe to say that he is enjoying his first ever entry into the Speed Series. If you want to have a go at entering the Speed Series this car is up for sale, £5500, it lives only a few miles away from Blyton. What are you waiting for? Yet another brilliant day out for the spectators. Our friendly Speed Series were as welcoming as ever and Blyton is always a great little venue. Thank you all

Just look in the petrol stations. Hes usually filling up with diesel

My local rag have ran a feature on my car and I; http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/westfield-s2000-gives-ian-lightweight-fun/story-30428494-detail/story.html @Simon Westwood - Westfield Sportscars Ltd You may recognise a committee Member in one of the pics too!

I feel they may be legendary already?

Oh yes, especially the cheesy sausages!

You can normally find him wherever there is food or drink

Haha yes I do get about! sorry I missed you Julie but wanted to get home to meet my new Grandson for the first time!

For anyone heading down to the south West on the A30/303 drop onto the Haynes motor museum at yovil.there is a really nice collection of car's in there and also there is a nice café you can use without having to pay entrance for the museum . also if you gift aid you entrance money you get free returns for a year

Spotted at Blyton yesterday throwing fuel at me! Nice to meet you Chris.

Had a brilliant day today in glorious sunshine. Had breakfast in a cafe at the head of Driffield canal to begin with. A load of scooters arrived and they waited outside the cafe and a number of them kept coming into the cafe and asking to use the toilet, and not one of them bought anything. I thought that was a bit bad. Next stop was Fimber Halt and this is a disused railway station and goods yard. You can get a cup of tea here and there are toilets and plenty of parking. Then over to Kirkham Abbey and we had a mooch around the river. Spent a while watching dragonflies chasing each other by a weir. Next it was Castle Howard, Ampleforth, Byland Abbey and then we called in at the Yorkshire Gliding Club for coffee and cake and to watch the gliders for an hour. We even spotted an aero-screened glider. In Helmsley we spotted a well know red Westfield that seems to be following me all over the country. perhaps I have an admirer. Then over onto the moors on brilliant single track roads and headed to Rosedale Chimney. Saw plenty of feral goats. Grosmont was next on the agenda and did hope to see steam trains but unfortunately the station was empty. Whitby, Sandsend and Scarborough followed and then home. It has been a great day and here are a few pictures for you.

John is just a little short of volunteers for tomorrow, so if you can spare a few hours just turn up at Blyton and ask in the signing on room for John Williams. Thank you.

Will do, I need to cast my eyes over as many Westies as possible, Oh, be nice to meet you too

Great classic car show this, good mix of cars, weather is looking ok, All for charity too I'll be there with the Classic Fords

Hi I have just put some in the parts for sale forum

Sold

Great write up and lovely to see you have a picture of my Roary included as well

Dave, stick a picture up on your hose to show a 'better' way of mounting the pressure switch . Its something I may do at some point as the sender is quite heavy.

as @IanKsaid, it will come out with time and care. Being brass, it's much softer than the engine casing which will let go eventually. if there isn't enough material for you to work with consider getting a stud extractor kit (off ebay) or similar. they have left hand threads so as you tighten the extractor eventually the residual brass sender bit will unscrew from the block.

nice write up and good publicity, although my concern is you still refer to my car as"your factory demo car". Just think of all the fun you'd have missed had you beaten me to it...

Nice one Ian although I am concerned that in the article you refer to your pants and that the car is an extension of you!!!! Maybe you can clarify at next months meeting.

Thanks Craig, I think I will just order it then. Was going to order a few back issues anyway (sad I know) as I've been away for a while. Cheers for your reply.

Well done!

Great stuff Ian. They even photoshopped the pink off the tarmac

I did the same trying to fix a leak on mine last year, though it was the adapter that snapped off. I was able to use a cutting disk in a dremmel to cut a slot in the brass piece and then used a flat bladed screw driver bit in a 1/4" drive ratchet to screw it out. Take you time and take care and I'm sure you'll have similar success. I've previously used Hondabond to get an oil tight seal, however recently found mine had come loose, so I've now used high temp, oil reistant loctite 2701.

Agree with Chris. There have been cases were Facebook posts have resulted in the crim handing him or herself in after seeing the evidence.

Hello and welcome , I Was in your position and had the same budget not that long ago,now I'm the owner of a little cracker.
