Welcome to my office

interesting. I was in military aviation maintenance for 23 years. views from a previous work window.

You only need full cage in mod prod if over 2000cc Simon - if you run in road going with Tax MOT Insurance and 1B tyres, there's no need to do anything special as the car in road going spec and not in mod prod spec.1C tyres would put you in mod prod

Changing view from the 'office' most days at the minute.

Are members of parliament? Yes. Are they fit to govern? No. But I have discovered that no matter who you vote for, the government always wins...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/house-of-commons-adjourned-four-hours-early-at-327pm-mps-a8766471.html "House of Commons adjourned after four hours at 3.27pm Wed. 06 Feb 2019 because MPs have nothing to do." "With the country 51 days away from its biggest constitutional upheaval in a generation and a raft of replacement legislation yet to be agreed, MPs might be expected to have a rather full agenda. But MPs ended the session on Wednesday just four hours after sitting at 11.30am as there were no further debates or votes scheduled by the government." I thought there were about 600 treaties and other legislation to go through? Could it be that we're not really leaving EU after all, so no changes needed and hence why it was possible to contract a shipping company with no ships to step in regarding imports? British farce is always the best IMO.

dont worry im signed up for class A

I had a very cold office for the last couple of weeks!

Norwegian Fjords? cool. I hope to have a vessel like that one day. I currently spend 6 months of the year on this.. Where you cruising at the moment?

Thats the joy of being a stewardess, I s'pose

Yes it's my dinghy. Your bl**** off-shore fart farms are spoiling my view But do feel free to pop in and use the bog...

Excellent idea Justin and great to hear about the plans. It will be a really fun activity. Count me in (pressure to finish my build!) And I've already had an email from Chris Newman expressing his interest in taking part. ROLL UP ROLL UP sign up here for this special event!

perhaps been a cynic they are getting ready for the UK to remain in the EU then we will be run by the un elected Bureaucrats in Brussels and there will be no role for the elected MP's who seem to think its their views that count Oh dear, there I've said it wheres my coat I'm off

That could be the big problem coming down the tracks when the electorate lose faith in Honourable Members and the current system. Who could have anticipated there were 650 types of Brexit? If someone is in your house and you tell then to LEAVE you had better hope you're not addressing an MP.

Maybe there’s smoke rising?

I'm going through the thread and I've just reread this, absolute quality! In truth you're not far wrong

Here is mine, bit gloomy today

Thanks Simon. Do the AR1s explain why you were faster than me?(!!) Plenty of info here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre-Type/Passenger-Car-Summer-Trackday-and-Competition-Tyres/

I agree with Stu's explanation. If you run list 1B tyres you will not be in Mod Prods on the day. You will need MOT, Insurance, Road Tax

I certainly have the gear lever & Knob and mounting bracket that fits to the top tunnel rails and maybe a few other parts that get down to the gear selector on the engine Please call me if interested 07767836234

Think I am out on the night you need a baby sitter................. sorry ........

I am pretty sure Christoph can help https://www.instagram.com/westfield.de/ www.westfeild.de great guy! Super helpful and very knowledgeable

Hi Carlie. Very best wishes to you and the Bump.

There's folk on here who'll jump to the wrong conclusions to both of your statements above. However sincerely wishing you all the best for your new addition and looking forward to even cheaper premiums when you're back!

Is that a typical brummie with a clenched fist looking for a fight ?

Good quality T-Shirt with full frontal Westfield Logo or Technical Drawing of a Westfield (like an exploded Haines Drawing) - faded colours...

Westfield beanie hat in Electric Blue please.

Won't the ST cars need interchangeable sumps included in the box ?

It’s just a shame that the supplier that used to make an aeroscreen that could easily be interchanged with a windscreen is no longer around. Otherwise, sadly, in some ways, the slightly different design of how a Westfield’s screen is fitted compared to typical Sevens, and the fact that the scuttle is GRP, not aluminium, make quick swaps tricky. (The problem is twofold, the current crop of aeroscreen designs* don’t cover the windscreen mounting holes. The other issue, is that over time GRP tends to creep and distort somewhat. So you can find it will often lift and pull outwards around where the screen has been bolted on etc. all this tends to show once the screen is take off and the aeroscreen fitted.) *i did see a photo recently though, of someone with a slightly different aeroscreen. It looked like the normal double bubble type from the top, but extended right down and around the scuttle to hide all the screen mounts etc. not sure where it came from, or if it was a one-off. (I did ask on the thread, but can’t recall the answer ) Do bear in mind though, that good winter/rain sealing round the base of the windscreen involves quite a lot of silicon! You won’t want to be splitting and re-doing that in a hurry!! Ultimately, the best answer I’ve seen to the multi screen, multi use car, is to have two scuttles. One with an aeroscreen, and one with windscreen, wipers and washer bottle all integrated. It was made to be a roughly five/ten minute swap over, and meant that neither set up compromised the car, either physically, or aesthetically.

Personally I prefer a screen after going out in a mates without and being hit in the face with rain, but I am a southern softy and I prefer to pick my nose while driving and cant do that with a lid on

@Tommo99 I note on your latest ad that one must have is a windscreen as it’s predominamtly for road use. Well, I wouldn’t discount an aeroscreen! My car was 95% road use in first 2-3 years including Alps, Scottish highlands and Welsh mountain tours. I did 5k road miles a year getting caught in biblical rain at times. Personally, I would never even consider fitting a windscreen after all of that and there’s a few of us hardy Northerners that agree see below for our tour pics and play “spot the windscreen”

Spare oil for a crossflow

Extra storage, tent, sleeping bag etc. Just leaving for Silverstone.

Tommo. I have a Seiw and in Winchester. Your more than welcome to come over and have a sit to help you decide if you need a wide or standard body. It's off the road ATM so can't take you out sadly. Jon

Looks good, great engine, where's the petrol cap, has it got a boot box . Tony

Good luck with the search and welcome Mr kings advice above really helped me with the spec I ended up with. I bought a car with the bgh gear set in. They really do drive so much better.(than the others I drove). 10k is a good budget..... good luck

Welcome! I’d say you have missed an important “wish list” if not “must have” item. Decent gearbox. My BGH e6 transformed the car for road and occasional track use. I’m now doing more track and occasional sprints and it’s still spot on (for my ability). But a std type 9 or mt75 would be terrible!

I think I my have one. Not seen it for ages but will have a look at the weekend if you haven't got sorted before then.

I love Wiscombe Marto . But alas not in April. The paddock is usually still quite damp from winter rain and the least ammount of rain turns it into a quagmire.
