Another one of mine from a slightly unusual angle - not sure I'd want to hang my DSLR out of the side of a Westy, but my son seemed happy enough to try it DSC_7109 by Lee Ogram, on Flickr Slightly shabby stainless silencer has now been replaced by a much more photogenic carbon jobbie

I've spend my pennies... The wheels are 13" John Brown Wheels Smoothie's (67.1mm centre bore) in 5.5J ET20 (7.5Kg) for the front and 7J ET0 (8.3Kg) for the rear with Nankang NS-2R in 185/60R13 all around.

Spent a few hours on Sunday doing a few minor tidy up jobs on my Westfield, took a quick photo of the back end now it has had the spare wheel removed, and a new "powered by Ford" emblem added above the reversing lamp. Very pleased with how it looks!

Hahahahaha I attempted a photo but it didn't load. Will try again

Le Rendez-vous 2 westies Not very romantic in an underground car park lol but we still managed it

Made changes to the route and have made it to Weggis hotel by the lake absolutely lovely for a 3 night stop with @Terryathome and Caroline

The scenery is getting pretty good now though

Me an Nakki had fun travelling over the French / Swiss border, I had planned a TYRE software route very scenic and rural and we ended up having lunch (what we had left over from breakfast buffet lol) just before the border in a corn field in the middle of nowhere! then set off up a single track road which then turned to gravel so it was the end of the road again!

from Essex. You do realise that if there are no photos, it doesn't actually exist!

We drove up from Lake Como today to meet @marcusb in Weggis Switzerland. I or can I say we? Intended to drive over the Brembo pass (I think that's what's it's called) anyway the satnav said no as showing no entry to pass? Don't know why so didn't want to commit and have to turn back. So another route was calculated and off we set. The difference in roads from Italy to Swiss is quite remarkable. So my top tip b******* Italy the roads are quite poor. Half of route was of motorway half on twisty's so made quite good progress. Anyway arrived at Weggis in Switzerland and Marcus and Nakki turn up 20 minutes later, couldn't have planned it better. Time for a cold beer to shake off the sweats as it still in the 30s.

Welcome.

No I still have it, it’s currently on eBay

Dull Blue !! ...... typical

Love this thread and keep the updates coming as we’re planning a jolly from the north of Scotland to Switzerland next year and looking for ideas , recommendations have fun

No air con in our room last night so had to sleep with window open, got woken up early by a wood pecker going at it at 7000 rpm todays route for me is 240 miles should be some scenery

from sunny Somerset. Enjoy your new "toy".

from sunny Somerset. Nice looking car, glad the handbrake will hold on those near vertical hills you've got up there!

Yeah, the damping feels a bit wooden at the moment!

Is that your sympathy look?

Over night stop for us in Pont e Mouson then tomorrow down to Switzerland for Le Rendez vous with @Terryathome

Longest day for us today driving wise, we started off at a brisk pace disembarking the boat as nakkib's 5 pints of Stella didn't agree with the boat and let's just say the cabin floor and walls were redecorated heres Nakki still a bit tender after 250 miles..

I guess you call it a work in progress?

We could be in for Ratnado You have been warned !

Whilst assembling my diff I found a pair of M12 x 120 mm bolts missing but I did have a pair of M10. Obviously an error on packing. I spoke to Ian from WF (He's the man that loads you kit in your van) at about half two yesterday, explained the problem and the bolts arrived today at around twelve. Now that's impressive, credit where credit is due.

Got the car packed and all ready for the off our boys have gone to stay with Grandma and there was a tear in Leon's eye when they left .. no ps4 and fortnite for a week lol

Newly re-furbed TSW's

I have two vastly different wheel sets for my car. For the street I use 13x7 Revolutions with 205/60-13 Toyo RA1's. When competing I use a set of Real Racing Wheels in a 13x10 with 21x9x13 Avon slicks. One set rides very nicely and handles very well....the other set rides very poorly but sticks like glue. Both are fun. dave

I'll be there all three days ...... car will be parked up around 7:30am...... I'm marshalling somewhere on track all three days. Elis will be around and about with the car. Forecast looks a bit ropey.....
