Out for a jolly with mum yesterday, nearly 5 hours 'in the saddle' and it was seriously hot, almost had to put the roof on (but only almost)! Sun cream essential 👍 Cam definitely imagine the Westy would be even hotter with the tunnel heat warming your left leg! Same again today ☀ Stay safe and enjoy everyone 😁😎

The year my late husband decided to order the Westfield. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone recognised their car... Of course some of you might not have been born..

Almost ready to go.

I just came across this on Youtube. It is a ship that can carry a cruise ship, just wow!

Should be there by 9-10 tonight try and save room for the group shelter!

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

Nooooo, I was at sea playing with my very own nuclear power plant..... and the ASBO was still in the parts bins at Westfield.

I was there with my son and my red pre lit, sure I can see my car in the 3rd photo 👍👍 I had hair then and fitted nicely in a pre lit 😂😂😂 Steve

Westfield Sportscars

I was a wet behind the ears fresh engineer having worked for about 9 months at Spax after finishing university (Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.) Little did I know that i’d Quit 9 months later, do 2 other damper design jobs and then return 18 months later. And stay.. The Westfields back then all had Spax, up to about 1999-2000.

We'll try

Hi Robin, I maybe interested in coming along, I'll be in Stockport visiting my parents that weekend and I don't think we have anything planned. If so there will either be 2 or us or 4 of us. Can I let you know tomorrow please? Cheers, Kirk

@Dicky 1105 My car started off with swept wings But they were a bit tatty and had several star cracks and other defects so I swapped them for cycle wings However, as you may be able to see in the photo that left a load of holes that needed to be filled in. What you can't see in the photo is that where the bolts and large washers had been clamping the wings to the body for over 20 years the fibreglass had deformed so that each hole was sitting in its own little dip. I filled the holes and dips with resin and gelcoat but I didn't do a good enough job of it really so in the end I covered them all up with some sidestripes. So just a word of caution if you end up doing this and your swept wings have been on the car for a long time as you may have more bodywork repairs to do than just filling the bolt holes. Make sure you give yourself a lot of time to do the job as I probably rushed it as I was time-constrained having a young family at the time. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but you may also need to fit lock stops to stop the cycle wings hitting the sides of the tub on full lock.

Really sorry to be missing this year, have a great time.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

I reckon 8-16 hr depending on your fridge ..you better drink fast.!

Struggled tonight on a Lanc's run just had to have one of these Steve

First panel fitted. Not long now.

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.

@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.

Hell yes! 🤣

We just need dave to get a set of carbon swept wings to give the ultimate in contradiction of modern vs classic, to go with the fw body, mad supercharged engine and led lights

I am 17 miles from Silverstone if anyone is stuck for accommodation. A double bed, A single and a couple of sofas and lots of floor space. Off road parking. Winslow.

Bought in 2002, so a mere youngster. Getting ready to drill a hole to fit the first ally panel.
