At home in the mountains of Montana. dave

De Havilland Museum this morning.

Hi everyone After a 6 month hunt for the one, I have found it. What a machine very well balanced from what I have dare push it too, still taking time to learn the car. credit to the guy who built it and spent a lot of blood,sweat,tears and love over the last 6 years, hats of to you Gary (kuga Westfield).

A bit darker than primer greychanges contrast with light conditions, looks lighter in bright light and darker in poor light, but that’s paint for you. Remember where you seen it first, reds and yellows are so last year

It's ok Dave. The scenery is here all year round. The «issues» only happen once a year when a certain person from Englandshire comes to visit us and causes mild havoc and lots of fun in his yellow machine, together with whoever wishes to join him (I suppose that includes me!). We have the remainder of the year to recover! So it's safe to move up to the Highlands (at least for 50 weeks of the year).

Ready for its proving run after its mid life refresh doesn't look 25 years old

Waterlogged!

Rubbish photo but its late. Better tomorrow

Eleven at Stoneleigh 'stickered up' for this year's Le Mans Classic Seven parked on the Michelin Chicane, Mulsanne Straight, Le Mans

At the Italian chapel on orkney today

Everyone loves a photo, the weather's come good the season officially here and in theory we should be out and about a bit more ...be it a track day or by the beach, so let's have a look! A recent snap of your westfield in the wild! Blat down Avon gorge and back for me on Monday night....good times

Enjoy, a well loved car, just needs a good dose of chrome to make it perfect!

Just to round off our stay on orkney had a convivial evening of campfire, cook out and laughter along with stunning views , piece and quiet and then as tommorow we start south played a Scottish folk tune ( slightly modified) westying Home with a song in the air lol ....

Your wish is my command

A very soggy Spa...

Ian, Andy & Josh at De Havilland Museum today

So Sunday we’ve had a day out in stromness, a lazy day did the museum and drove through the old part of the town, some fun and bonding........ a long day tommorow with an early start to catch the ferry back to the mainland then head for Durness round and down to strathpeffer so having a chill out and a bondfire n barbie on the beach later

Chris contact Jeff the joiner. He is an expert on routes in that area. We followed him for days taking part in the Y Draig Goch. You will enjoy the driving. Some great driving round the Elan Valley, and a cracking tea room.

New colour scheme, about to head to Oulton Park last week

Took this while waiting for Geoffrey Buttercup, Gary & Trina last Tuesday. Ben Nevis in the background.

Eventful morning parking at work

Xtr at snetterton a couple of weeks ago

On a blat . Mate lives just over the trees. Lucky guy !!

first proper drive this weekend.

A French field with a little bit of England... And a couple of shots from a handy Chateau (The blue car is me, maroon is Andy, @Greenstreak-Andy D And the white Ian, @IanK (Bagpuss) )

Mine on first real run, up over the Brendon's, last Autumn after IVA and registration. Must take some more in France next week.

Admiring the view across the Northumbrian hills.

Can only give a non IVA'd in build snap I'm afraid... .... Whilst offering up the new doors to check windscreen angle.

The current wife has said that there isnt much t shirt and shorts wearing going on, so cant be that warm. I just said that I would fear for any childs eyesite seing either Gary or Geoffrey in shorts ...................of heaven forbid a mankini

Nice to catch up with you Tom and Dawn

It was 15 years ago... I can't even remember my anniversary every year

Great little show, bring on next year

Well that was a nice trip out this morning. Beautiful weather with Andy and Josh joining in for the trip to the Mosquito museum. The museum have completed one Mosquito renovation and are busy on the next one, unlikely to fly in the UK but a great piece of heritage. A new hanger is being purchased next year, so the more visitors they can get the better. we even got a tour ‘behind the scenes’ where the restoration area is and an overview of the current project by the president of De Havilland Aircraft Trust. Few pics of the day including a random Caterham

Great news your loss is my gain I’ve been looking for someone to blat about with and Simon is only 10 mins away . im sure I’ll be able to keep up untill he gets used to it .

Its probably not your cup of tea though @Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator because you don't need to bother washing or polishing mucky grey to look like clean grey cos they both look the same

Just having a Mcflurry top of pendle hill

Are you sure you're ready for all the 'when are you getting it painted?' jokes, Stu?

Back in my Skoda days we did a couple of days in Wales and our itinerary was https://www.dropbox.com/s/7p1yodkrax6wzl2/Briskoda Welsh Tour 2003.pdf?dl=0 One day I will do it again in the Westy...

I see all the fantastic scenery in these and others photos and always have this strong urge to move to the Highlands. How thoughtful of you to then provide some images so disturbing I’ll forget all about the natural scenery while I try and get them out of my mind; now where’s that brain bleach!

Thanks for the kind words Nic. Hi Chis I will post up some routes tomorrow but as Nic said you have got to do The Elan Valley. Jeff

Was a great morning. Satnav didnt do 'as bad' things as Monday. Good to meet you all and it was a lovely sunny day .

Well just back from Preston to dreich Fort William and I am the proud owner of a Westie. She is bl**** loud and we went theough a baptisim of thunder and rain getting back with roof going on and off three times before I gave up. Went home via a mates house in Edinburgh so think I am a quarter through my miles allowance on my insurance policy already but that can be changed. Anyhow. Glass of wine and hope the weather is better tomorrow.

Today at bhperformance,

I think you've pulled them too far through one side...

Mine at Hayling Island last Monday in the heat !!

First sprint in the new car at Blyton
