Day out with my Dad after his Westie been off the road for three years.

clan mcwesty Barbie , lads Wee Dov is fully commited this week so lorna amd I will be getting the food is so extra toilet paper is advised ????????

Dave Terry will be along and correct me if I'm wrong but when Loton ( I think) was resurfaced a couple of years ago it was discussed and decided not to treat it as a new venue purely based on the resurfacing work alone, so a president was set to some extent. The venue and track layout hadn't changed so therefore it is not a "new event" as such. Its a question of how far do you go. If for example half the track had been done or just one section on a fast bend and the rest not, at what point do we say it has to be treated as a new venue. Clearly new records have been set on this occasion so probably the new surface had an influence but equally if it had rained and or/no records broken it's unlikely this would have been raised, as the new surface could have had a negative effect just as easily. I wasn't there but I'm told the paddock is still rubbish a full of loose stones and debris if that's any consolation. Mark

A small group of us will be doing the Opentrack day at Anglesey, Monday 16th July. Open pitlane, 105db, plus free photography, tea and buns allegedly.. although I don't think I've managed a free bun yet before they disappear! It's a day that was owed to me from a deal we did last year, but there is a 10% discount group set up. PM me if you're interested in joining us. We'll be camping over on Sunday night, so hoping the weather will be kind to us. https://www.opentrack.co.uk/product/anglesey-coastal-gp-circuit-monday-16th-july-2018/

Weather forecast is a scorcher. The longest day of the year too. It's going to be a great WSCC weekend. David

See you all there on Saturday, can't wait i'm really looking forward to this especially as it's inspired my Dad to get his Westfield back on the road after three years of me nagging him.

Hello. I'm in Lincolnshire just north of Woodhall. Matt Vernon is based in Bourne. We try and join in the trips organised by Julie which are normally Peak District based but great. Some are our side starting in Matlock. Sometimes we go to 'Horsepower at the Hall' which is now renamed 'Gearheads at the Ground' which is at Newark Showground a couple of times a year. Other events our side of the country is the GBS Coffee mornings which Julie will also put up on the out and about section. Where are you??

I sent the museum a photo of one of the type of buses they have there taken just before I started in 1986 and received this reply today.

The NS blacktop mount fits a silvertop but the silvertop won’t fit a blacktop! It is all to do with oil filter location.

I’m booked, going to be a long weekend

I'm booked

Hello guys, Sue and myself would just like to say thanks to you all for a great day. Good company and beautiful views we couldn't ask more. Hope to join you all soon. P. S and the food was pretty good too

I must pride myself today on finding NO COW POO, let's hope it lasts hey! We met at Matlock where the blinking toilets were shut, so it was a quick scoot to the shopping outlet. In future we will meet at Sainsbury's where there is petrol and a pee. Andy and Sue, Martyn and Sue with Paul and Pat in the VX. At Matlock Paul let me have a little drive around the car park in his VX, for which I feel very honoured, it is harder than a Westfield to get in and out of and you see nothing out of the rear view mirror, it felt a positive drive, it was lovely . It certainly looks the biz too. We sliced a route through the centre of the Peak District, meeting the Spire Classic Car Run coming in the opposite direction, so lots of waving there then. Up the very fine Winnats Pass, just look at that empty tarmac begging for my 4 new tyres, of which I am exceptionally pleased with, exceptionally. Then it was a slow run down Mam Nick to take in the scenery Arriving at the Rambler Inn at 11.55am, just before it opened, meaning an empty car park and pub, simples. A table for 8 soon became a table for 10 when Chris and Mo arrived. The feasting began The view of the Great Mam Tor Ridge from the car park. Bonnets Off - the view of the great 2 litre Zetec in Andy's car, complete with a gold rocker cover. We could have another caption competition with this photo! Paul went next with his turbo 2 l which he has just changed the cam belt and water pump on, it's service day tomorrow, he keeps a nice car there. Andy and Sue ready for the off We set off for more of those views over Mam Nick, those hills, those twisty roads, all lacking cow poo. We were now a 5 car convoy, with Chris and Mo. We arrived at the cake stop and parked in our designated area To the grand finale, the cake, but someone couldn't wait, so we had an empty plate on the table didn't we Paul? All the ingredients for a great day out - driving, bonnets off, eating, scenery and great company, thank you to everyone for making it happen. It's Shelsley Walsh next weekend so we hope to see you all back in the Peak District the weekend after.

No just carp and roach etc. It’s great to be able to go there in the Westfield.

GoPro maybe? Umbrella if showers as you will be held at top of the hill until batch finished and you all come down again

This was two years ago, but I love it,thanks Marcus.

The Wench outside The Dirty Duck in Stratford on Avon. The joys of being retired and going for a blat on a Monday afternoon.

Weekend spent blowing the cobwebs away around the Yorkshire Dales.

One of my winter projects was to make a spare tyre cover - didn't start it 'til April and finally got round to finishing it last night, just in time for the McWestie run today.

Cultural trip to France last week.
