Awesome weekend, awesome crowd. The spirit of the Speed Series competitors really shone through this weekend and I loved being a part of it again. Already booked Harewood and Hethel so you will see me again sometime soon. thanks to everybody who organised it and helped to make it the weekend of the year. Looking forward to the next one already Tiggs

Massive thanks to John and his team of helpers. Organising such a large event to everyone's satisfaction is a credit to you and you appeared to be so accommodating to everyone no matter how small or trivial the issue. Well done

The "Blyton Special" in progress @ 23.40 on Thursday

Thought I would start a thread , as so much stuff is available to clean cars , why waste money on things that arent good and list the good stuff here. Our plastic cars can normally take the same kind of cleaning gunk as painted cars . So, for my recommendation, it is Sonax Xtream brilliant shine detailer. From Eurocarparts for a 750ml bottle for just over £8. Just bought it and arrived today, so thought how good can it be. Well, the shine is just amazing and is supposed to repel water for long periods , so thats less cleaning required. Easy on, leaves no residues, so wash, dry and spray and drive !!

Great weekend event, really enjoyed it despite car problems. So my biggest thank you to Pete Goulding for letting me double drive his car, carrying on the true WSCC spirit , Thanks Pete But thanks to all the hardworking people who make this event such a great weekend, especially the unsung hero's who are always there helping out and keep coming back.

Gary with his bonnet on.. I don't really do Facebook but I've dumped some more pics from Friday here: https://www.facebook.com/andy.pugwash

What about a front view?

What a great idea for a thread. Do you have any recommendations for looking after a polished wheel. I prefer driving to cleaning so I would be looking for something that is easy use and doesn't take hours to apply.

Yes really well done John, a great weekend all down to you and your team.

Much like the car's owner, then.

Sane With disposable income Have friends who didn't smell of oil and have sun burnt ears...

Well what a fantastic weekend that was I made it 37 members of the speed series entered and took part in a very successful weekend of fast racing and great weather with BBQ, food and booze thrown in with lots of banter What more could you want?

Noticed he had similar control of his Westfield on track Friday

Herts, Beds & Bucks Area Meeting 2nd Thursday of the month, Thu 13 July 2017 7pm onwards, everyone welcome. Grove Lock http://grovelock.co.uk/find-us - should be another long and light evening, another great opportunity to bring your car along. Matt

Gary, can you smell petrol ?

your just a big nunney cat!

Where's the cheese...

The momemt before everything all went a little down hill in terms of inuendos

That's usual Gary with his bonnet off

Cheers Justin good idea for a thread. Will give that sonax stuff a bash. I use collinite 476 on everything as a top coat sealant. Tin top, gelcoat, wheels. If you use it in very thin coats and don t leave it too long to polish off it's incredibly good and lasts for ages. A tin has probably done 20 cars worth and still loads left. I'd say it even beats poorboys wheel sealant on alloys. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/collinite-476s-super-doublecoat-auto-wax/prod_207.html I've tried all sorts of fancy and expensive carnauba waxes on my cars but keep going back to colly.

Another great event, thanks to John and all his helpers

Geoffery, if its an unlacquered wheel, then Autosol or Megiurs metal polish is good. If it is lacquered, then a form of spray or liquid sealant may help to stave grime and brake dust, such as Gtechnic C5 is good in reviews. I have only just coated my brand new Volvo wheels in it, so my personal review wont be for a while. It may look expensive at about £20 , but I used a quarter of a bottle on the massive XC60 rims, so enough to do both the Westie and our Skoda and a smidge left for a recoat on the volvo in a years time. Poorboys wheel sealant is tried and tested, but a real niggle to get into and out of small nuts and bolts etc , but for smooth one piece wheels works fine. I have even used Collinite 476 wax on wheels with similar results of protection and also ease to clean. All cheap and easy to use, although Collinite is pretty hard to remove if left on too long on bodywork !!

Gary I see we have two photos of our cars under the shelter I like the side view , thanks trevturtle

can we start another spotted thread . I can see it

Just test sent from a different account and got a notification - hoorah! Sorted, cheers Chris!

All my lights bar dip/main beam were LED for IVA, never even raised a comment.

Test email came straight through to me a minute ago - maybe check your junk folder?

I've added my own email to this as a test - will send one off from a different account and see what happens - PM on it's way to confirm your personal email.

I have fitted these but the clear version. They are good quality,nice and bright easily equivalent to a 21w bulb and 'E' marked. I can't see why they would have a problem at IVA and I hope not as all my rear lights are LED. My IVA is soon so I will let you know. John

They usually live with Pete G or Tigger.

It won't stop there!

driving there in the morning, there for circa 8

My car may have some prominent orange accents anyway so I don't object too much to the amber lenses, although clear all around is a great look (especially matching up reverse and rear fog). Position-wise, I've been thinking about two small 3D-printed casings to mount them on the outboard side of the headlamps (4" dominators), provided I can meet the angles and have sufficient clearance to the cycle wing (including lock-to-lock and in bump).

Getting excited about my first trip to Oulton Park tomorrow. Wondered if there are any other Westfields going???

A great weekend of racing, banter and ice cream ;-) First time out for a few years and certainly blew some cobwebs out of the car and me. Knackered too as the car was only back together 2am Friday morning. Thanks to John and his team for organising the event and everyone else that gave up their time to help over the weekend. David

great weekend but im so knackered . need a few days to recover and maybe some more beers well done for putting on a great event

You should have dubbed in a sound track.. brrrrrraaaaaaap tsshhh braaaaaaaa.. etc etc

Driving a caterham?

Couple of videos from me Eastern Circuit Outer Circuit with @Marto303 on board No sound as my external Mic port seems to have given up the ghost

Welcome! I grew up in Chalfont St Peter. As mentioned earlier, the HBB meet is this Thursday at the Grove Lock in Leighton Buzzard, come along and have a chat. As for garage recommendations, there really is only one place to go - MH Autos in Milton Keynes. Martin is a member on here, a really great bloke who knows Westfields inside out and he competes in his own too. He'll be at the meet on Thursday so you can meet him, ask whatever questions you like and get booked in! (No I'm not on commission! He's basically rebuilt mine for me & is my go to guy for everything, as well as being a great mate. He was the 2015 novice champ and helped me to become the 2016 novice champ, so pedigree is assured!!). Hope to meet you and see your car soon All the best Barny

I like the idea of that in a lightweight kit car......nice and symmetrical for my OCD..

For next year, can we make this change to the circuit? I found it quite exciting... I may have been distracted by a black car popping a pretty little flame as it let me by, then realised the corner had arrived

I've got to echo the sentiment, well done Robin, it was good to see a group of Westie's - hopefully this has raised the profile of the club. I was surprised how big the event is, 100's of car exhibiting and it was free to get in! I managed to hobble around on my crutches and ii was good to see some other friends there with their family Rolls, I managed to blag a chair and beer - much appreciated!! Just waiting to be picked up, going to Blyton to see the Sprint I should have been doing

Fat controller ....lol We should ask the fat controller to deliver this track briefing next time... it might be shorter ?.. the guy next to me had to leave to have another shave before the end of the briefing.

Another cracking Blyton weekend! Apart from the fuel spillages getting me black flagged, I suffered from fuel starvation after any long left handers (not helped by it pouring out I guess!) so next task is to fit a swirl pot. I may have mentioned this fact once or twice to those who would listen while sharing beers later Apologies for heading off early but just had to go home to meet my brand new Grandson

Great video - very reminiscent of watching Group B rally cars in the 80's - with the noise echoing through the trees...

Good idea, he could escort us past the Sunday drivers!!

Can you not come along in the work motor?

Not an easy place to spot people I agree!
