First MOT today and first pass. On Sunday, I ran as course opening car on the Maharajah's Tour (a 70mile scenic tour around Oxfordshire finishing at a great little car show in the village of Stoke Row. The rest of my photos from the day were cr*p. I relied on my mobile phone but the lens was dirty and, in the bright sunshine, I could not check the images well enough.

Very nice! Here is Flo my 5 year old loving the Winter ride out. I use an inflatable 'Bumbo' booster seat from Halfords and switch the harness behind the seats to make sure they are closer on the shoulders. Her two favourite phrases are 'Louder, Daddy, Louder' and 'Put the pedal to the metal' - obviously I have no idea where these come from?

@Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Perks indeed. I had the zetec. Went for a haircut everyone in the shop loved it, all came outside and had a look. Then went for a drive round the local area. Fantastic evening for it. Shame I'm now stuck in the office. Maybe one day I'll get my own I didn't take an images this time. Next time I'll be sure to take a few. The first few times I took a car out for a drive it was pictures galore. I'm wanting to take my boy out in it. Would love to see his face light up.

You're joking, perfect weather today and defo the best place to be. As someone who is always freezing I could live like this all day long. This is how I travelled today.

I’m bringing a 65ah battery to power my beer fridge. Hope it lasts!

Just a point regarding the Photographer, Ian Dowding who covered the Shelsley 21st for us last year is there on Sunday, if people want Westfield pictures he will be happy to oblige and is a Loton regular so knows his way around. Craig

Oil change before Silverstone.

It's NEVER too hot for a Westfield, are you nuts? A jacket, mon dieu! Shorts and a little t shirt, loose linen shirt to stop burning... Yes I was also a biker! Only pulling up in the shade Betty Swollocks. That's why I drive a wez! Ps. I don't have any... You know whats

Once again it’s nearly time for Silverstone, and the spare wheel seems to have fallen off my Westfield, to be replaced by some systerious platform! 😆🤦‍♂️

I've been out in the Eleven in the past week - including running as course opening car on the Maharajah's Tour (a 70 mile scenic tour in Oxfordshire). Usual summer attire for me - shorts and Hawaiian shirt and the only issue is where my head sticks well up in the airflow over the wraparound aeroscreen, I end up with hair like Jedward! A 61 year old man with a comb in the door pocket to supplement the Dzus fastener removing key - whatever next! Simon

I remember driving my V8 in this weather, the heat from the engine and the hot sun beating down in traffic was horrid. However, with a lovely cool Zetec and amazing airflow the FW is a joy to drive in this weather :-)

Perks of the job Patrick! Eeeny, meeny, miny, mo! What did you plump for - pictures please!

What provocation? Seriously, how does a rational explanation get construed as provocation?

Loving that bodywork combo - I'm tempted to ditch my FW front end...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone @Keith the Teeth @Alex Gaskin (and Dad) @cphelps @graham frankland @MarkBishop - it was a great day out at a great venue - one to be repeated next year. Impressive driving from all competitors and interesting to see how times improved so much across the weekend - Adam must be happy with his fastest, it was certainly stonkingly quick to watch. Great to see such team spirit from Graham letting Mark drive his car. Here are my photos and video footage of the day, finally uploaded to youtube - sorry for the sound, I must get an external mic for the iphone. I think I got some footage of all of you. I look forward to seeing you at other events; perhaps one day my car will be in the paddock with you. Dave

Itz teh wonke spill chicken on thes sight ewe r supposet 2 bee in charg of maintining. Or r ewe buzy enstalin a nu clutch? 😝

I'm borrowing one today Seems perfect weather to me

I have to agree, it was the best day in the Peak District for me in along time! I got the car home under its own steam and not making any funny noises 😊

Hi Gary, I'm OK for Bo'ness again, but like John, Ballater and 9:00am start is too far / early for me. I'll send reg number via txt. Jim

Hi Gary Please put me down for Bo’ness. Ballater looks fun but just too far for me.
