After getting caught out in a hail storm yesterday, the Westy needed a good clean. Hailstones are quite painful when they hit your forehead at 70mph! Here she is ready for the next outing.

Tickets just arrived in this mornings post, I will sort them out now and get them back in the post by 12 noon, you should all receive your tickets Monday/Tuesday. Just to add the Wirral/N.Wales WSCC stand will be in place Sunday/Monday over looking Cascades corner, there will be tea. coffee and cake on offer with all donations going to St Luke's Hospices, all so this year because we get a three day pass to one of the best race meeting at Oulton Park absolutely FREE, the ticket holders from the Wirral/N.Wales WSCC will be putting £5 each towards the collection, any one else who would like to contribute are welcome to do so.

Just to let everyone know, Michael (the plane owner also known as "big bro') has offered to organise a low key BBQ at lunchtime at the airport. I have accepted on behalf of everyone! Hope that is ok.

We also managed a couple of tunnels today :-) also drove through a couple of dodgy looking clouds whilst heading to the coast but it has ended up really hot on retuning to villa :-)

Ooh Matron.

TLC. Tender Loving Care. In my younger days I ran a half marathon for charity. One very special and beautiful lady offered TLC. As a naive chap I asked what that meant, and she said if I completed in good time I would find out....

11am at M&S Ashbourne (DE6 1DG) for coffee and WC then off to Tatenhill Airfield (DE13 9PD) - a ride of about 30 minutes - to take a look at a self build 4 seater plane. Have a chat with the Rolls Royce engineer who built it and then for the lucky few, a short flight. Flights are limited so not everyone will get a go. Maybe afterwards, Julie could take us out for a run in the Peak District before we head home - and obviously she will find a place for cake! This trip has to be limited in numbers to a total of 5 cars, so only two spaces left after Julie & Glen, Martyn & Sue and obviously me but if fully booked please leave details as a reserve. It would be a shame not to fill all the places as this is a once only offer from the owner. Please keep an eye on this link as plans might have to change and it is all very weather dependant. Fair weather flying only so this is not guaranteed and is at the total discretion of the pilot. Typical that I buy a kit car and my brother has to do something bigger so buys a kit aeroplane!!

I got 7.5 all around on mine, works perfect. 185/55 front and 215/55 rear. All from Image wheels. Forgive me the red nuts, they are no more haha.

I'll have a looksee when home, although didn't get meant this year with volunteering all day Sunday.

These are 7x13 ET23 with approx 8mm spacer on rear and 4mm on front of an SEiW with fixed arches. I have 205/60/13 on rear and 185/60/13 on front

Mmmm tunnels!

Furore Cars 5 3/4" LED units, a bit of a faff to fit, but the light is superb* *unless I happen to behind you at night, when you might think differently! (I get made to go at the front quite a lot now, after dark).

Gorgeous! And here's how they look with the slightly smaller front plate. The font and spacing are not mickey takingly small, though the plate size is as small as it really can be with a still "legal" font. (I didn't say legal on what, though!)

I do wonder at times about you. I guess you use the rollbar for a different purpose altogether

Thanks for the update Jeff...... I will also match the donation being made by Wirral/N.Wales

See You Next Tue, in TXT speak! rhymes with Punt!

Slight thread drift, heard a new one yesterday. It's not really a TLA but it made me laugh. Can anyone guess. f u n e x? From a classic 2 ronnies sketch.

Welcome from North London

From Kent.

Welcome from North Yorkshire

An enjoyable day, really enjoyed it. Some of the single track lanes with grass down the middle were "interesting" in my mates Triking! Looking forward to doing it next year in my Westfield, might need sump protection though!

Which part of the roof do you mount it to

Great. Maybe meet up then for a blat? Always worth a couple of runs up zig zag hill at Shaftesbury and stop for a coffee at the aerodrome just up the road, if you fancy making a morning of it sometime? Mart.

Need to find a run out for tomorrow. Not to far and something at the end to look at or do. Wheres Hursty's map lol

I'd be nervous parking my car there , with the tramp in the corner.....................oh......................hang on........................

This may or may not be true, but I've been told previously that the F word itself is an acronym. Historically, in the navy, crew were supposed to keep to themselves when the ships docked, but had a habit of getting friendly with the local female population. Any caught doing so were punished. The punishment was recorded in the ship captain's log "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". This was a bit of a mouthful, so the world's favourite acronym was born.

None that can be said with real feeling...

Are there any without an 'F' word in them?

From the East Midlands

Welcome mate. Are you from down south near me? If so, I'm always up for a blat! Mart.

Hi from Scotland and post up the photos of the new motor...and then plan the NC500 route...

Welcome to the madhouse Peter. We are all looking forward to pictures of your car. We can then show you how to spend money on it

Agera (Koenigsegg) if it hasn't already been taken.

Is anyone from Cheshire not on holiday?

A couple of circumstances in my life have changed very recently and as much as it pains me the westfield is up for sale. For those who don't know the car my build thread is here http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/120683-steves-sport-250-build 2017 westfield sport 250. This is not a sport 250 in the factory sense where everything is brand new. I used a starter kit with a low miles engine, gearbox and a refurbished 3.62 LSD. However every other component is brand new. The car has covered 1500 miles since it was registered on the 1st May this year. Engine and transmission 2014 2.0 ecoboost engine. Bought from a breakers with 9k miles. Ford racing bosch ecu. Ready mapped out of the box. 252 bhp and an 80lbft increase in torque to up over 300lbft. Titan shortened alloy sump and balance shaft delete carried out. Mustang inlet manifold. Westfield 3" exhaust with cat and carbon can. Competition clutch stage 2, nice and controllable not too heavy. Mazda mx5 mk3 5 speed box, bought with 40k on it. New propshaft Refurbished sierra 3.62 LSD. Coolex rad and intercooler package. Revotec high power fan and controller. Lightweight powervamp gel battery. Chassis, suspension and steering Same chassis as the mega s2000 with the improvements in rack position and strengthening at the rear. Powder coated satin black. Westfield wide track front. Alloy uprights all round Protech dampers and faulkner springs, dampers anodised black. New 2.4 quick steering rack. Go race upper steering column complete with ball bearing quick release and momo team 280mm wheel. Wheels and brakes 15" team dynamics pro race 1.2 in gloss black. Brand new toyo R1r tyres only covered 300 miles. 205/50 rears and 195/50 fronts Front brakes 280 mm wilwood midilites with drilled and grooved discs Rear brakes, golf calipers, grooved discs. S2000 handbrake lever. Body Zk front body with v8 bonnet and FW rear in postoffice red. Front carbon csr wings. One does have a couple of scratches, I also have a brand new set of carbon rounded wings waiting to fit. Carbon rear wing protectors Carbon roll bar mounts Carbon indicator pods 5 3/4 headlights with led headlight bulbs and led side lights. Msa roll bar with approval stickers. Interior Jk composites grp seats with carbon tops. Black seat pads with red piping. Schroth harnesses with 3" shoulder harnesses and 2" lap belts. AIM MXS strada colour dash display. With customisable displays and shift lights etc. Standard westfield switch set mounted on an abs dash panel. I have a carbon dash panel to go with the car, I had planned to swap it over during winter. Fully carpeted and quilted vinyl tunnel top and outer side panels. Taller sport turbo windscreen and matching sidescreens. Also will come with a pair of poly carb wind deflectors. Fitted with heater and wipers. There's probably a few things I've missed and will amend as I remember. As above car will come with an extra set of carbon wings and a blank carbon dash, ive also got a set of red grp roll bar covers un cut, spare wiper blades, a couple of spare oil filters and enough fully synthetic oil for an oil change. Probably a few other odds and sods aswell. The car drives very well and has been mechanically flawless in the first 1500 miles, the only teething issues I've had have been generally of my own making, I was having issues with cooling but this has now been rectified with radiator ducting and the addition of the fan controller, temps are now rock solid. The car is savagely quick, in any gear it has the torque to just up and go. So you can drive like a loony if you wish or stick it in 4th and 5th and cruise to your hearts content. Now the big question. Price. This car will cost you 30k from westfield as a basic no option car or 25k as a basic kit. I sacrificed the new engine,box and diff to keep the rest of the build to a high spec. The only other one ive seen for sale is up for £35000. now sold Car is located in Houston renfrewshire, just west of Glasgow airport. Available for any viewings although I am away from 30th August til 16 September with work. test drives will be with me driving. Loads of pics in my build thread and I'll link to some shortly. Steve.

The acronym works with both

Sadly, yes. No 'leccy cars to play with this time.
