Just like to say a huge public “thank you” to Luke and Chris at @Plays-Kool This is a purely personal thank you (and recommendation) as I feel credit really is due when you receive truly exceptional service. What started out as a bit of a favour ended up with them taking over to save the day I’ll not bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that when my back gave out part way through putting the diff back in, Luke and Chris dropped everything and did what was required to ensure my car was back together. Thank you both for your generosity and professional help - and what’s more,, thanks to your efforts my car now goes around corners way better than it did before!

I used to go to the Nürburgring regularly, multiple trips a year. Sadly, my last trip was 2016 and my mate Dave hasn't been since 2014. We've both got the day off tomorrow so decided to head over for a day trip. The rough plan is this: Leave at 0600 Tunnel at 0850 Arrive Nürburgring around 1400 Catch up with some old friends, spot of lunch until track opens for TF @ 1715 1715 - 1900 laps! Head home at 1900 for the 2330 tunnel Tucked up in bed by 0100. The weather forecast is hot and stormy. Happy to keep you up to date on progress if anyone cares.

Nice 140 mile drive round the great North Wales roads today. I averaged a faster speed today compared to yesterday when I was held back terribly by @CosKev

So is this the end ????? Is it h!@! as like it’s only the beginning as westy life is one big adventure a really big thanks to all involved, my great mate in arms Geoffrey for all the planning , ribbing , support and fun to those who joined us Terry, David and Elaine, Judder to everyone who followed our adventures but most of all to Trina, her first time on holiday in a westy with us and she soaked it up, never complained despite the long days touring and even now she’s asking when we’re off again

Nice evening.

We as the WSCC Cotswold have booked our own private track day at Llandow. This is a great opportunity to be on track with everyone we know and people we can trust. This is also a very good track on which to lose your track day cherry.HOW THE DAY WILL BE RUNWe will have 3 groups to start the day, beginner, intermediate and an advance group for 15-20 min sessions for 1 or 2 rounds. This is so that people can find their feet and get to know the track again or for the first time. Then it will be an open pit lane with loads of track time due to the limited number of cars!!!LIMITED NUMBERS TO JUST 30 CARS!!!COST AND TIMINGS£90 - Single Driver (1 car) £25 - Extra Driver Friday 14th September 2018 Gates open and sign on at 08:00 Briefing 08:30 ish Cars on track 09:30 ish (or when Jon stops talking) Please PM or email me "Cotswolds@wscc.co.uk" to book your place To avoid any potential misunderstandings, the Committee would like to remind everyone that although this event is being shown on the WSCC Forums, it is not organised by the WSCC and is not an official WSCC Track Day event, and as such, it is not covered by the WSCC's insurance - so it's up to each individual attending the event to ensure that they are adequately covered.

Work stopped me going to today's Anglesey track day, and such good weather SO.... sod it, downed tools and off for an afternoon 40+ mile play

I take it @RussH isn’t going then

Prospecting campsites for my Duke of Edinburgh's Award group.

Oh yes planning already lol

Glad you're both home safe and sound. We've so enjoyed reading about your adventures day by day, and we're thrilled to have been a small part of it. Where to next? The planning starts now!

@Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator

Sold!

Awesome fun and you were jammier than a jammy thing full of jam on the weather. Glad Trina likes it too, even with Geoffrey stories

Mmmm I seem to remember spending a good 10 minutes sat on the side of the road waiting for the retirees to catch up myself!

Oh and as a follow up, also a big thank you to Andrew aka @Fat_chap - who very kindly did a bit of his day job at the local meet and sorted my back!

Yes lots of fuel Simon

Beautiful scenery, very Middle Earth-ish down in the gorge though, amazing places.

Tyres and engine both will be warmed up by the time you get there

wow! There is some commitment right there!! Looking forward to reading about the trip!

I predict bright sunshine and dry all day seeing as you are in a tintop

i may try and make this one providing blyton goes well the friday before. if theres space ill possibly look to book on the saturday morning before

Did as you suggested with the rear toe, plus fitted a Quaife ATB. Not had the chance to really test it, but the car definitely “feels” way more settled going into and then coming out of the odd tight country lane I’ve managed to throw it into. It just grips and fires out in a very nice controlled fashion. Can’t wait to try it on track again!

I'd be telling your 'dieselgate' management that you need a longer than usual power nap after lunch at your desk. Shall I bring the tent for your to 'stand up' in tonight

Here you go....dont say another word about it. I dont want to look a fool do I.

She said "I want something hot, red, that throbs between my legs." I said "BSA Bantam, ex GPO, that should do the trick." She said "I don't like two strokes."

That's all very well Geoffrey, but where are the photos of the short necked Llamas?

What a fantastic trip you have all had . Have enjoyed everyday of your trip too

Well done Simon :-) Derby and Notts looking good with 3 WINNERS Matt

Few from today.

Had a good circa 130 mile run today around mid Wales with @CraigHew and @Wingnuts Dad You deffo need to get over the road from Llanidloes to Machynlleth passing Llyn Clywedog

Gents, My intent is to go, but as I am now expecting to get home at 1am tomorrow (thanks Lufthansa) I may be goosed! Lets see what happens. Excellent news Jon, can’t wait to see your Westie! Andy

A full complement of westies for once

I should be there too

And the prize for massive understatement of the year at every turn, goes to Nick! That post had everything bar the virtual mic. drop at the end of it.

The rear doesn’t have a number plate recess either but that’s how the FW will be from now on.

Hoping to have her back on the road by end of June......can’t wait!!

Need to change swap the tyres for a different profile.

Looks really good this

Definitely an in joke! Goes back a few years when it was just a few of us and we had our initials down by our orders. Waitress came out and said "who's got the gluten free meal?" - all looked blank until we realised she mistook Graham Franklands initials to mean gluten free. Hence why he is now known as Glutey! One of those funny at the time things maybe!! But a legend none the less. As is Graham!

Yes put me down as attending, no,lift required

Gutted, I’ve just paid £560 for one last week.

Got them too Many thanks

Received thanks @John Williams - WSCC Competition Secretary

I’ll be there..looking forward to seeing all your great cars
