I made it home. I should have learnt that when taking the wife, a 3yr old and a 9 week old might delay the journey home. The only problem I have is I can't stop smiling. There I am with my support car I keep forgetting about my indicators at the moment Ohhhh I put down sun tan lotion on, but too late. I got burnt on the way home.. lesson learnt there. I'm away on holiday Tuesday. Bit gutted I am going to miss 10 days of good driving weather now Just a big shout-out to Josh who gave me all the details and info I needed to ensure his car was the right one for me..

Hi everyone joined the club earlier this week thought I would introduce myself! I used to own a westfield about 20 years ago, an SEi (I think) with a Vulcan 135bhp crossflow on twin dellortos, which was a pretty decent specification back then! Had the car a couple of years but ownership co-incided with a house move and subsequent renovation project which meant the car was barely used. I did quite a few bits to the car over the period I owned - upgraded the engine, added a brushed aluminium dashboard and new chrome toggle switches, chrome roll bar etc etc. Then sold it on to a guy from Germany. Have had quite a few nice cars over the years - a 911 Carrera 3.2 replaced the westfield, followed by a Ferrari 308, Alfa 3.0 GTV and 147GTA, then a Maserati 3200GT. Pretty sure most of those are now worth a lot more than I sold them for thats for sure! Other priorities meant I had to leave nice cars to one side for a while, and these days I have just an Abarth 500, which I think is a great little car. Have always felt that Westfield ownership was rather unfinished business as it wasnt used much, so have just agreed a deal for another. Though I like the look of the zetec and vauxhall specifications, I've decided to stick with what I know, and I owned a LOT of ford cars in the 80s and 90's, so the incoming car is an SE wide with 2.0 Pinto power, of course with twin carbs - webers this time. Really looking forward to collecting the car in about a week's time. In the meantime here are a couple of pictures of my previous Westfield - bit of a period piece with the swept wings and Ferrari style wheels!

My sincere thanks to everyone who posted. Makes me very proud. chris

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/

Hi All I recently signed up to the club after purchasing my very own Westfield Megablade. Its very early days yet but the car seems to be in good condition however there are one or two little snags that need attention like a faulty oil pressure gauge/sender (they seem to be an issue with the BEC cars). However i know very little about the car so if anyone on here knows anything about it that would be most helpful. I'm based in the Liverpool area and hoping to meet fellow Westfield owners (hopefully some BEC owners as well) at the local area meet across the water in the Wirral whenever the next one is. Also the car came with a hood and side screens but they have never been fitted to the car, im not sure i have the skill in order to get the fitment how id want it does any body know of a professional fitter in the north west region? Thanks and hello to all Alex

My day at Blyton...

Regardless of what happened, I’d avoid posting about it on the internet tbh.

Can we have more pics of the Defender? :D

Looks great Nick. Come to the next meet and you can chat to Mike about the merits of "Blink Stop". Hope to see it in the flesh soon.

I had a brilliant, relaxed day. Music was really great fun with diesel and steam trains running in the background. Here are a few pictures.

Especially Barny for letting me abuse his ****ter I'm getting a bit worried about you MX5 drivers.

You're welcome anytime mate. My s***ter feels better for the abuse

So @NickBW, today's the day. Don't forget to post pics as soon as you can. I will be watching out for you locally.

Not got time for that mate today or I’d have ripped it out already.

Being as Andy isn't coming Andrew ill still be there but I won't be camping so I'll see you on the morning

Welcome Robert, that looks in lovely condition from your photos! Oh, and all the best cars have swept wings!

Cracking day, thanks all. Especially Barny for letting me abuse his ****ter

Yep brilliant day, excellent hosting and great on track discipline as usual (except for the odd lout in a silver mx5 - wot me who me not me guv) Well done WSCC, cracking delivery as usual

Evening Alex, Warm welcome from Somerset. I'm another 919 Megablade owner - touch less civilised than yours. Had mine 8 years so have learnt a few things about them. Drop me a message if you get stuck with anything. Hope you enjoy her. Rob

The greatest number of WSCC members online were 391 on the 30th November 2016. We now have over 12,000 members, so we can beat that easily. Set your flux capacitor for 21.00 hrs, Wednesday August 1st and log in to the best club website ever created by man, obviously helped by swmbo. The Guinness Book of World Records have been contacted, but have not yet replied. Miss Piggy and Kermit are in, are you? AO's, spread the word, this is your time, this is your destiny. Just do it.

Looks like the weather is pretty bad in Chester!!

If you extended that box filter forwards, into some of that unused space over the cockpit, above the roll bar, you could have both a convenient way of keeping dry/out of the sun, delete as applicable, and have invented the first Luton bodied Westfield!

Completely agree with the others on the other driver being at fault, but WRT comments about undertaking being illegal, my understanding is that it's actually not. If somebody knows better, please correct me if I have this wrong. It's often classed as and penalised as "dangerous driving" but passing a vehicle on their LHS is not strictly illegal in its own right when done properly and safely. Otherwise if a car was doing 50 in lane 3 of an empty motorway we'd all be scuppered. Merging non existent gap on the other hand...

More like a mechanical catching noise.

Yep, not only that but I may also have the ECU problem!☹️
