Well that was good wasn’t it. Thank you all for coming. It is appreciated that the miles were covered but there was a great mix of friends and conversation flowed. We are all winners as we have little great cars called Westfields but on the night we must congratulate - @Trevturtle and Kirsty for winning the ‘Silly Xmas Quiz’ Mo and Becky for winning the prizes in the pass the parcel. @aeg for managing to fit all 7 chocolate mints in one mouthful in a tribute to the wide mouth frog. Obviously Tangoman attended but he was getting a bit saucy Thanks must go to @Ian Hart for the very special hand made gifts Thanks again to everybody. Role on Christmas and then next years driving.

Well done Simon A few years ago I started to do the Tel's Tales articles which eventually developed into the magazine articles as well as my Blogs on this website covering the speed series When I suggested doing this Bob Green was a keen photographer following our speed series the paddock and offered to provide photos for the articles. Alas after about 6 months Bob died from cancer and his family donated the award and presented it at a our Awards do.

Thanks for great evening, we both had a enjoyable time. Party games, the most varied conversation I've heard in a while... Free whilly, to Bob's banana then an intellectual discussion on black and white movies ... all inside 30 minutes. Ian, many thanks for the surprise present. I think we will all cherish those. Good to meet everyone, and it was good to see Tangoman joining us. Thank you to @AndrewBClarke for organising. Merry Christmas 🎅 The mischievous Mr tangoman spent most of the evening playing with the cracker presents creating film themes.

It's December 1st and you have all turned your WSCC calendars over haven't you? so you will all have seen our super Santa clad Trevor as the pin up. Help make future calendars and join us on this fun event.

ISS passing over at 16:37 approaching from SW if anyone's interested. Visible for about 6mins.. Looks clear here. 🛰️

Thanks to Terry and the team for organising the evening. My wife and I had a lovely time and it was good to put names to faces! congrats to all the winners this year cheers Ian

I'm equally impressed with my first 106 miles on my PS3's. Started out at circa 9:00am today at around zero degrees and it's wasn't any higher than 4-5 degrees today. No drama, squealing or spinning off the road backwards. Yes in 1st and 2nd you can easily light them up (Even with the tiny torque of the S2000). Ride quality is good. No understeer and they've coped with dirty, slimy roads today. I've not had a suitable quiet roundabout to push on until they break free(3rd is good for this), but will try at some point and report back.

Think that was it ,it was fairly shifting 👍

Thank you Andrew and Clare for organising a fantastic evening! Great to see everyone again and a particular thank you to Ian for our surprise gifts!

Thank you @AndrewBClarke Andrew and Claire for a great evenings entertainment ,it was nice to catch up and see friends in a different surrounding and light😳 have a great Xmas all and see you in 2020 luv Andy & Becky ps those were just the fun answers we knew the right ones we just didn’t want to look too intelligent in company🤣

What a great home he’s got 👏

Found a new home for Bagpuss 😱

I have invited her to GBS for you 😛

Where’s the photo of the ‘electric blue mini dress clad lady’?

Well that was different. Due to lack of people daft enough to bring their Westfield out today (I would have if you would!) we still decided to carry on regardless, only in our other cars. Scrapping Ashbourne and instead meeting @BillyPee and Bill senior at Sparrowpit we went to the Yonderman for tea and mince pies to start the day. Soft tops rule today. We detoured to take a route through Chatsworth Park and found some sunshine Oooh, it's so hot in here, doors, a sun visor even, what luxury as we passed Edensor church Chatsworth, but that isn't the house! Edensor Church Catching up my original intended route along the country lanes we were getting onto higher ground And we found the fog that did not lift up here, even after lunch We had lunch at the Red Lion, Stannage where Bill junior got 'chip envy' as Glen had fish and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce, while Bills steak ciabatta came with only vegetable crisps and salad - a bit of a healthy option that one. All was made better when Julie stopped mid sentence - wow - as the electric blue mini dress clad lady walked into the bar area, mental note, get the boys to face the bar next time we go here. Parked at the Red Lion Peak Edge In order to balance Bill's diet and to stretch the legs of that lovely straight six Porsche engine we set off up the mighty Slack Hill to bring us to the Fountain at Bonsall for cake. The lemon and blueberry cake was nice, as was the Victoria sandwich cake, but on being told that the banana and hazelnut cake had just come out of the oven Bill took no time in deciding that was the one for him. I still think he is turning into a bit of a health freak though, bananas and nuts are both vegan and healthy. I will have to reconsider your future membership to the Peak District if this kind of behaviour carries on 😀 With a serious lack of suffering today with our wonderfully comfortable cars, lets hope next Saturday is slightly better weather and we will see you all at GBS for totally unhealthy German sausages. Thank you to Bill and Bill for coming out with us today, albeit in the wrong cars, it was still good fun working out the quirks of our strange little cars.

I know it’s early 😁 but put February 9th in your diaries 1pm at the Glover Arms, Perth for a lunch , get together and pre season planning session. If you have any ideas jot them down and bring them along. Things already on the table are Strathfillan wigwams, mystery navigation run , Bo’ness and knockhill to support the wscc speed series remember we need your input to help organise the things to do

November 16th, 2019 Spend: £10.00 Winter upgrade time! After cleaning the car last weekend, today I finally made a start with replacing the damaged nose cone. Part of the hesitation to do it 'in season' was that I wanted to go from 2 bolts holding the nose cone down, to 2 dzus sliding fasteners. I had @Ben (bunje) create two M8 to M4 reducers which would allow me to re-use my rivnutted M8 mounts on the chassis. But once they've been screwed in, there would be no unscrewing. But I shouldn't have feared the job, it turned out to be quite simple! Now I just need to fit a new stripe and grille November 23th, 2019 Spend: £13.99 It took some effort to get the stripe on neatly (I'm not a sign writer!), but it does look tidy, even up close November 30th, 2019 Spend: £10.00 I bought a nice badge from @marcusb again, but it has no fixings on it. I didn't want to drill screw holes in it, so I got some JB Weld SteelStik and improvised. And then I 3D printed some fixings that will hold it into the grille I bought from @Steve (sdh2903). Last month: £ 9402.26 This month: £ 33.99 ----------+ Total: £ 9436.25

Tango Man is a brave boy today and has been spotted on wet, icy roads on his way to have breakfast at a motorbike factory.

great evening thanks to all who organised it. and well done to the winners

Thanks to all that managed to come today. its really good to catch up with everyone, have a good festive period and we’ll do it again in February in February we’ll sort out our events aswell so if you have any ideas for 2020 jot them down and we’ll sort things out How does February 9th at 1pm sound?

Spotted it this time round.. hard to miss really. 🙂 20sec exposure.. must try harder.

I was happy enough on R888R yesterday at around 0 deg on frosty lanes, driving very gently though.

I like the idea of Breakfast meets, but theToby Carvery is absolute bottom of the barrel... I'm with her on that one

Only two slight issues with that and that is the only thing she dislikes more than a cold ride out in the Westy is a Toby Carvery buffet brekky!!! 😂

Yes it was cold but we had a cracking run today Jeff

Well I looked and looked but didn't see.. There's a bit of high cloud that may be obscuring it. Will have another look when it's back round again shortly at 6:13 pm

Just watched it fly over. Very bright and very clear.

Indeed the ISS app is amazing. Watching the sun break over the earth surface is incredible.

Yep. Bob Green was a WSCC member who had a green Cosworth powered car for many years and in his latter days he started photographing speed series events. A real nice guy and he visited the Derby and Notts area meeting literally weeks before he sadly passed away.

I was hoping to make it being so close to home, but I'm still suffering from the effects of a late night (works Xmas party) and the dreaded manflu!

First car and only kit there 👍

Cheers for a good run out jeff

Breakfast with Stuart Garner the MD of Norton Motorcycles

You are a hardy soul Kevin (Mr T) and fair play to you. I'm too old for that game now and car has just been SORNd so now looking forward to Spring. Just back in the house from my garage at +1C and didn't stay long......Brrrrrrrr.

Heater, roof, doors? Nah, it's only -2.0° for goodness sake!

Good Morning All, Personal thank you to everyone who has ordered so far, helping support us. Greatly appreciated. Don't forget the code lasts all weekend and we have extended it until Monday. I'm by myself until Monday, limited orders can be shipped, however I will dispatch as many orders as possible. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Once again thank you for your support. Regards Patrick
