I'd turn that into

Boris wanted an election, those opposed to Brexit do not, well they do but only when they have tied the parliamentary process up with amendments and legal sureties that mean we cannot actually leave. We have Mandelson and Campbell along with others now saying that we need all this then, not a second referendum, but a peoples vote (apparently not the same) when the public can then be given many questions on how to stay and one to leave. In that way they can claim it is the public that has done this not the two faced MP''s whose word no one will ever trust again. The EU will clearly give an extension as they see a chance of hanging on to the cash we give. If Johnson was to win a majority in a GE, we would still have the whole process start over again but this time with not only the speaker against him but also everyone who is against unpicking the handcuffs that have just been placed around his wrists. Whatever way you voted, the actions of the MP's is shameful

November 5th is coming up, anybody called Fawkes about?

I think you need a bit more practice John 😂

Sadly, an election will only do one of two things. Leave the same bunch in power, or replace them with another bunch of equally feckless, dishonest a********s.

Getting colder up here now so time to start wrapping up a bit heres Cairngorm today

Hi Stuart, not at all, you’ll be most welcome to join, we have plenty of non Westfield owning members, both those with alternative fun cars, and those that have had Westfields and stayed around after selling on, as they enjoyed being part of the club and had made many good friends here! We’re all just petrol heads at heart, the little differences don’t worry us! In fact we love the variety.

The question is, did the Orange get Crushed?

Owing to retirement from the Sport I am selling my ex Andy Dunbar Westfield. This successful car is currently one of the most competitive cars around having won many Hill Climb/Sprint events whilst in my ownership and Andy's. BRIEF SPEC Wide Bodied SEIW Wide Track Rose-jointed Adjustable Suspension Flat Floor F.I.A./M.S.A. Certified Roll cage Nitron Double Adjustable Dampers Aluminium Hubs Quick Release Momo Steering Wheel Tillet Seat Millington-Series II - 320HP Engine 6 speed Sequential Quaife Gearbox Geartronics Pnuematic Paddleshift Recently re-wired and Launch control to be fitted this week. Comes with V5 and includes 16 wheels/12 Tyres - 2 sets slicks and 1 set wets all in excellent condition. As an alternative to the Millington engine the high spec all steel Red Top (Vauxhall) engine that was originally fitted to the car is available at a lesser price. This is a well- sorted car. Please no time wasters- this is a genuine car and the price doesn't reflect the true value. £28000

Sounds about right they will twist is round to make it anyone else's fault but their own. What has gone on recently has shown just how corrupt and dishonest they really are. However aren't we getting rid of that corrupt speaker on the 31st Oct, who has ruined the impartiality of his office. What annoys me the most is when the idiot Politicians stand up and say it doesn't matter to leave the decision for another 6 months / 1 year etc. It's the indiscision which is now damaging the country more than anything.

Done

Sold subject to collection

If it’s Sunday we’ll be there 😁 luv HOT BUM - COLD HANDS 😜

Count me in if it's dry Julie😎

Some of the Bikerspics for this day through Winnats Pass are now on line, unfortunately so far only up to 12.00 mid-day. So the Westies are there to be seen, and ordered if you wish. Unfortunately my Jaguar went up the pass after mid-day, so in the next batch, yet to be posted. Not the fault of Mrs H., my fault through a navigation error, which meant we were 15 or 20 minutes later than we should have been Hence I didn't get my beef and ale pie, 'cause someone else got there before me!😄😃

Get it down to the Tate quick , might be worth a bob or two !

Is there anyway that parliament can be dissolved? as it's clear they aren't fit for purpose. I'm new to all this politics nonsense so dont know if that's even a thing, but as it stands I doubt we'll get anywhere. As much as it pains me we need a general election to elect some politicians who actually want to crack on and get **** done.

happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Rustypants. 😎

Happy Birthday Russ

Happy Birthday Meatpants

Great read this!

I asked about the vented discs because I currently have a sticking M16 caliper on my Sunbeam Lotus. My Westfield Eleven is quite happy on its solid discs and alloy Hi-Spec calipers!

Have a great day

Have a great day @Meatibald Archpants

I can feel my toes freezing from Bristol!

Bikerpics got me when I came out to meet you on the last run.

Hi Stuart exactly what was said above I first built a Haynes then bought a Westfield Warmly welcomed into the club and eventually sold my Haynes to a lad in Prague. Bought an unfinished Westfield and have it now remember pictures are compulsory and welcome amongst us all heres my Haynes up cairngorm and my westy in touring Switzerland this year

Some very good photos there from the 2 Andrews, looks like a summers day. Paul has very kindly sent me some photos of his car for you all to enjoy.

Bang for your buck busa or the newer 1000rr blade engine is in my eyes it the best way to go for Performance and it comes with a sequential box for free I cannot add much more that hasn't already been said by AdamR or Cphelps weight saving I would say is atleast 75kg -100kg over a Cec of course depending on built spec's and you try and lift 3 or 4 bags of cement that is a massive weight saving . With regards to the chassis Genuine factory "mega bec" cars have always been widebody 99.9% of them were independent rear suspension setup but a couple were live axle which of course were for the customers that wanted to save those extra few kg's but the basic chassis design of the standard "mega bec" isn't really that different to any other seiw there is a bulge into the drives footwell where the reverse gearbox is mounted then of course there is difference in the engine bay which allows the bec engine cradle to be mounted.

Even with the same power to weight ratio the BEC will tend to be quicker around a track because it's lighter. It can brake later and carry more corner speed. As Colin Chapman said - Adding horsepower makes you faster on the straights, subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.

@jonjh1964 I hope you don't mind but I've just had a quick play with your great shot in Light room, resulting in this:

Bang on from Janet Daley: Our arrogant political class holds the British people in open contempt A few weeks ago even before the latest instalment of this saga at the Supreme Court a member of our family in the North of England rang up to say, with heartbreaking resignation, They don’t care about people like us. There was no question about who she meant by they. The membership of the group she had in mind is presumably now a bit larger, bringing even the objective authority of the law into contention. I wonder if that smug Remain coalition in Westminster has any idea of the terrible thing it has brought into being and is now with every triumphal move determined to consolidate. With the help of the credulous (or colluding) broadcast media, confected rage about over-heated parliamentary language took over the news agenda last week. Can anybody seriously believe that this is the big story? Or, more importantly, the most damaging constitutional outrage that is being committed. In a week in which a foaming, shrieking opposition was denouncing the Government as unfit for office but refusing to permit a general election that might replace it. And the legal commitment to accept the result of a referendum was being undermined with desperate, shameless dishonesty (message to Parliament: nobody in the real world believes that all those lawyers scrambling around were simply trying to prevent no deal, and not attempting to block Brexit altogether.) Mercifully, in the thick of this charade there were some delightful moments. I particularly enjoyed hearing that the shadow Commons leader, Valerie Vaz, had demanded that Geoffrey Cox come to the House to apologise for calling us turkeys. This being Britain, even in the midst of a tragic destruction of public faith in the nation’s institutions, there can be laughter. So no, I do not think there will be violence in the streets even when the people realise the full consequences of the contempt in which they are held by what they see, quite rightly, as a privileged, arrogant political class. They will not riot or attack the police who they will assume, again rightly, to be blameless. The outcome will be far worse than that because it will not blow itself out in civil disruption which is generally counterproductive (just as the noxious Remain protesters who drown out broadcast interviews are counterproductive). There will instead be despair, disillusionment and alienation between the social classes which will prevail for at least a generation. Where once a tolerably affectionate form of snobbery was accepted as a part of popular culture, there will now be nothing but ugly distrust and genuine hatred. This is peculiarly sad because it is such a dramatic shift from the view of working class people, which stood until three years ago, as the true heroes of the last world war. The virtually unanimous enthusiasm for the post-war welfare state and housing renewal programmes sprang from the sense that ordinary people had made such enormous sacrifices for the war effort. The belief that the country owed them a great debt ran through the political consciousness of the second half of the 20th century. But that’s all gone now. What replaces it is open disdain and malignant derision. The worst of this is that the party which was born to defend this class which once carried the hereditary burden of being its official voice has played an indispensable role in its betrayal. And that (broadcasters please note) was the real big story of the week. Labour and its absurd leader, reduced to a hopeless, incomprehensible puddle in the House, are so inadequate as an Opposition that they must prevent a general election at all cost. In their incoherence and opportunism they have made the country ungovernable, betrayed their own history and abandoned their natural constituency. That’s quite something for the news media to overlook. Even the endless reporting of that overblown farrago about nasty language got it (probably maliciously) wrong. The divisive bitterness that has become such a feature of public discourse, for which a Greek chorus of female MPs blamed the threats they receive, did not instantly materialise with Boris Johnson’s ascendancy to the Tory leadership. It grew and festered with great alacrity under the premiership of his predecessor. Please try to remember, through the blizzard of anti-Boris hysteria, that it was during Theresa May’s time in Downing Street, notable for its prissy decorousness and eagerness to compromise in negotiations with the European Union, that this toxic atmosphere took hold. And recall also, when you hear all those Labour MPs complaining about death threats, that the hate-mongering on their party’s side was so ferocious that the BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, needed a bodyguard to accompany her at their last party conference. The stupendous irony of all this is that the people are being castigated for their anger by those very public figures who refuse to acknowledge the reasons for it. They are traduced, insulted and patronised when they might at least expect (given that their view was the majority one) to be addressed with courtesy. When their frustration grows and takes a vengeful form, that of course justifies even more righteous condemnation. So they conclude, not unreasonably, that they can’t win. Either they stay quiescent and accept the supercilious judgment of their governing class which did, after all, ask them for their opinion. Or they refuse to accept it and cut up rough. Either they were fools to hold the view they did, or they are wicked for insisting that it be listened to. Any political figure who attempts to speak up on their behalf is a populist (or worse). A political leader who suggests that the only way to lance this hideous boil is to resolve the issue by doing what the country voted for is conspiring with evil. There could once have been a quite simple solution to this problem: let the people speak in the time-honoured way, by voting in an election. But maybe it’s too late for that. The bitterness has gone too deep. It is quite possible that the contempt and the resentment which have driven the country to the brink will not be forgotten in our lifetimes.

Just another thing to add, looking at the Zk body tub 'colours' there is no white, however there are 2x Chrome Yellow. https://parts.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=128_46&product_id=530

Just had a look on my phone and there is a slight format issue. The main items of the page do not fill to the right of the screen (the greyed section). Just thought I'd mention it.

Sorry we can't make this one, family coming to visit.
