Sharing my latest bargain buy.....I bought a quad bike cover as it looked about right for the roll cage of the car. Fully elasticated around it’s skirt. Clearly not tailored to fit but fits ok for £10... screws up into a bag of about 8”x 6” https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142871120737

Hey ho, the shakedown went well, home now, that new meeting place is so much easier and quicker to get to. nice to meet you all again after so long, I might come again soon.

As per the title, it’s the Cheshire meet on Thursday. 7.30pm at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley. Come and show us all your Westfields winter upgrades and how ready for Stoneleigh we all are! Let's see if we can actually get some Westfields on the carpark this month! I'll see you all later. Ian.

Well as long as you bring your gimp mask like last time Gail says it's fine 😂

Not laying claim to these but fun on the 29th at castle Combe friend wife took them

Two of us are coming from the Wirral, see you at Knutsford services......

I've been warming the oil in mine since yesterday 😀

Hi Slasher, it would be good to see you. No plans. We usually make it up on the night!

What time does the convoy expect to reach Hilton Park Services? I'm aiming to be there, but I don't want to be sitting around waiting for too long (its going to be fairly nippy by all accounts, and I don't have luxuries like a heater (or a screen, or a roof...)

Thank you all for the tips and shared wisdom. I was astonished by how active and nice members of this forum are. You are the reason I ended up buying another Westfield even though I had something else planned Thank you once again - shipping date from Westfield confirmed for week ending 12th of July Final spec of the Sport 250 in case someone is interested: Powder coated chassis panels LSD Wide track wishbones Front and back anti roll bars Track day shock absorbers Westfield Race front and rear calipers R888R 205 tyres 8" rear wheels Digital dash Heater kit FW rear body LED Light pack LED head lamps MSA half cage Sport turbo seats with diamond stitching 3" four point harness upgrade Quick release steering column and race steering wheel Half Hood and side screen SCS ECU Raceline shallow sump (factory fitted at Westfield if it gets there on time) Carbon parts from Carbon-nv: Ducted Aero+ cycle wings Rear diffuser Rear arch guards Mirror covers Indicator pods Carbon Dashboard Colour: orange, with orange piping and orange diamond stitching on the seats. I'll try my best to make a build diary, but there is a strong possibility I will get carried away and forget to take pictures

Video of my first track day at Castle Combe 29 April 2019. A few moments at 6 and 11 minutes Generally handled great, but definitely need to upgrade to track day tyres, T1Rs are not the best! Had a great day and good to see everyone @David tucker @Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO @SXRORY @Simon_Jones Llandow next on 18 May

Morning guys, Saying hello from Coventry (Warwickshire). Just picked up my first Westfield and I am looking forward to the Kit Car Show this weekend. It's a 1997 1600 SE x flow. My drive back home was my first drive in a Westfield and it was a lot of fun! Cheers, Chris

Only 4? Thought @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AOwanted 10!

Be good to see you again Slasher!

The weather forecast is sunshine and showers, if it is the former i will be giving my car a shakedown run prior to Sunday. Are you lot planning on going for a run? i don't want to turn up at an empty car park

Had a long overdue day off yesterday and made good use of it I went for my annual engine check and a run on the rollers ,it’s times like this I realise my cars potential is much greater than the drivers

The tickets are printed from your confirmation email, infield passes are sent out nearer the day.

No problem Chris - tickets aren't actually sent out till about two or three weeks before the event, but it's yours as soon as I have it.

great - thanks - I'll have my thick bike jacket on, so I should keep be able to frostbite at bay for a few minutes - I'll be there for about 8:45-ish

Was that half hood and doors or half hood only. I've travelled quite a distance with half hood and doors in quite heavy rain and it did not seem to bad, to a degree it was worse stationary depending upon wind direction as the rain could come in from the rear. It's actually quite cosy and with the heater warm. I'm trying to remember fully the day, we travelled both ways in rain and then spent the day in the rain, from memory when we got there we did not feel to bad, but then having spent the day in the rain and then travelling back in the rain, when I got home I wanted a hot shower and a hot drink. I've also done half hood and wind deflectors, this was not to bad for a shortish distance, especially if you are travelling home. My right side was quite damp by the end though, I suspect half doors and mud flaps would help with this. One thing I have done with the doors and half hood is to put press studs on so that the half hood can be attached to the top of the door ( one in the middle and one at the back), this helped quite a bit.

Dave - bring it to Stoneleigh and I'll take it of you - I'll be in the tin-top so no car pass required, but will jump in yours as per last time!

Will try my best

Tim, payment finally made when I got your address right. Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I will prostrate myself and beat my head on the floor until I get it right just like that rounded conrod bolt...

😱😱😱😱 I'm overdressed and underqualified!!!!!!

I can see you being a bad influence and disruptive force in this club. Keep up the good work.

Looking good Marto. Just another 8 to get for a maximum

Off to see Andrew on Wednesday...

Also means that things like addresses, lists ET now don’t end up double spaced all the time.

Hope all goes well . ,I’m still wearing the smile from the drive home It took me a hour to get there but over two and a half to get back ! The joy of driving just for the sake of it ,to the sound of induction and exhaust note ,it makes you feel alive . Let us know how you get on ,maybe take a video .

MHR @Andy_R

Wheres a drooling emoji when you need one! That looks stunning. Have a great birthday.

Thanks everyone The Cobra is a month or so away from completion so I should be out and about during June!! Tried to take Maverick out today and it's got a stuck clutch so I need to get that freed over the weekend.

I will be at Knutsford, car is now sorted, eye has been fixed so i should be able to see the car in front......😌

That depends on which of you is making the offer... I’ve been caught out before at Stoneleigh.

Whoop whoop, it's this month 😀

Im not going mate!

love this

Happy birthday

Happy birthday Andy from Glen and Julie xxx

April 1st, 2019 Spend: £62.00 And we're off for the new season! New Pipercross filter arrived, so installed that and then put the car on the charger so I can drive it a little later when I finish work. April 14th, 2019 Spend: £0.00 Went for some coffee at Caffeine and Machine in Ettington. Nice place! April 15th, 2019 Spend: £30.00 MOT time! Great service at Nene Auto Repairs as usual. April 19th, 2019 Spend: £0.00 Lovely weather for a drive, so Q jr and myself had some breakfast in the Cotswolds April 22nd, 2019 Spend: £40.00 Picked up a luggage rack from an ex-Westfield owner in Bozeat. April 30th, 2019 Spend: £8.04 Discovered that my programmable fan switch no longer switched the fan on, and upon inspection discovered that a faux-pas in my wiring caused it to overheat and blow up the rectifier. Ordered a new rectifier to replace it, but that didn't fix it, so had ordered a W1209 temperature controller to replace it. Last month: £ 9047.67This month: £ 140.04 ----------+Total: £ 9187.71

Happy birthday Andy, when are we seeing you again?

Got two! sony and Panasonic. The Panasonic one also has an SD card slot so may ba able to transfer via that? No idea. Will bring both.

Only a small update as I've been back on the DIY for the last couple of weeks. There's not much left to do now but one of the jobs was to fit the chain. This was on the list to do a few weeks ago were it not for an ebay seller who let me down by promissing a 2day delivery that in the end turned out to be 6weeks! Suffice to say I cancelled the order and did what i should have done originally and bought one from the local motorcycle shop. Even after finally getting a chain the problems didn't end there as it wouldn't fit the sprocket! No problem as I have plenty of alternative sprockets but I'd obviously fitted one in error that had the wrong pitch. With the engine now in the final position and the chain adjusted correctly ita time for a brave pill and cutting the engine cover. The position of the cut out was marked from the underside by drawing around the cylinder head and then the corners of the cut out drilled with a hole saw. the straight cuts were then made with a fine saw with a file and sand to finish. A quick clean and polish then the roundels were applied. a race car needs numbers so 67 seemed a fitting choice since this car would have first been raced in 1967. j

from Essex. I think you'll find it's not red with four wheels unless you post a photo

It looks as if I may have sold the XI, subject to payment etc., etc., in which case I won't be able to join the convoy. Ian, if you see this please note. I'll confirm by pm., when I know more.

Is it warm yet? We’re do we need to come to push you @6carjon?

Thanks Ian, sorry it's been an incredibly busy and stressful week on a number of fronts, kept meaning to put up a reminder, but forgot! (Sadly, the Stoneleigh weekend is also the anniversary of my Mum's death, three years ago, so always a difficult time, personally.)
