Great 'on the move' photo's there Luke, thanks for posting them. Glad you enjoyed it, and you popped your Winnat's Pass cherry π Meeting us at Sainsburys were Luke, Steve (with Stuart), Andy, Richard and Kevin Steve Richard Richard, who proceeded to try and nick Tangoman, just because he suits your car better than mine, tut. Luke Luke Andy proudly told us that his Cobra is featured in the latest Total Kit Car magazine. I didn't get chance to read it but it looks fabulous and is spread over 4 pages, it would sit well in our Westfield World magazine if you fancy a bit of writing Andy? Richard had only come to pick up the indicators from Luke and had to leave us here. We took the big roads up to The Rambler Inn, Edale which meant that Luke got to finally drive up the Winnats Pass. As we were slightly early for lunch I thought we would have a little photo shoot on the way. We are parked in a bus turning area, but the bus is a tourist bus and only runs in the summer, so cheeky sods like us can take full advantage of it. That got us to the Rambler Inn just in time for it opening, but not before a n head parked in our spot 1 minute before us Bonnets came flying off and tyres were kicked until it started raining and we headed indoors for lunch Kev's ST170 engine Billy joined us in the Porsche Tangoman came too We had lunch while watching the sideways rain come down, made worse when Steve's wife messaged him to say it was lovely sunshine in Rutland. After lunch we all got in our wet Westfields, but wait a minute, look at this, Bill is claiming that his roof is broken. How hard did you jam it with the screwdriver? He said he is going to search Sarah's handbag when he gets home as he is conviced there will be a missing part of his roof in it. I had to change my finish point because Steve had fetched Stuart with him and needed to deliver him back to Matlock, I refused to change my route, it is the best bit of the day, so we defected to good ol' Tagg Lane. We had a good run there, with a free run up the steep Mam Nick road, enjoying the twisty bits and keeping a good convoy on the emptier roads. I can really tell that my shock absorbers and springs have been changed, it's great, they really work. Tagg Lane It soon got messy. White chocolate and hazelnut ice cream for me. Perhaps they were expecting Ian's daughter, Charlotte, my little Kinderella, who would have enjoyed today Back outside Luke showed us that not only did he have a lovely engine bay housing the Honda lump but he also had the cleanest oil in his engine, it was cleaner than when it comes out of the container. Watch that Billy, he is still showing off in his t-shirt. Steve followed us down the twisty Via Gellia road and back to Matlock as we said our goodbyes to all. Thank you everyone for coming all the miles today, we kept a good convoy and nobody broke down, hopefully you all got back in the daylight. It was largely dry, it's just that the high ground is unpredictable this time of year, but it is where the best views are.2 points

I have entered this years speed series and if it doesn't sell then that's where I'll be however there is a car for sale I'm drooling over so I could be easily tempted. Breifly, the engine was originally built by Holeshot and was for a while his car, I purchased it just over 2 years ago, during the first season with Javelin it quickly became apparent it was a bl**** quick road car but when pushed had gremlins, to that end a complete new engine loom was fitted by Tour De Force (they specialise in F1 electronics) over last winter the engine was completly refreshed by Tony Smiley (SP Drag Racing & a member here) as a precaution, I only had the vendors word for true engine spec. Last year 2019, the car came second overhaul in the Javelin Sprint Series and was quickest kit in 7 of the 8 rounds missing out by just 0.02 of a second on the other (3 sisters a circuit I had never driven) the car ran faultlessly all year. The car is correctly Road registered currently sorn, I have just purchased front lighting and a AB electric reverse, front lighting for MOT electric reverse too satisfy road going MSUK regs. The registration K17 CAR will stay with the car, value Β£2k. engine, very brief list, it does have all the right bits, 2007 Hayabusa, lock up clutch, SBD dry sump, Carrillo rods, longer 5th & 6th gear, 12mm head & case studs, hd output shaft, garret race turbo, charge cooler, syvecs ecu, room for 12 maps currently as 3 switchable maps 285 & 350 bhp avaible on pump fuel, for fun we tried race fuel and stopped at 440bhp, I ran 285 BHP in all 8 rounds last season. siltec wide front, valved for car procomp dampers, aim gps dash, freelander 3.21 diff with quife atb, stupid amount of wheels/tyres including crx's, revolutions. Take it away on an almost new Woodford single axle trailer, Β£21k bargain, that's a Β£2k trailer & Β£2k reg plate included in the price! its for sale for as long as the car I'm drooling over is avaible.1 point

What size @simon walton ? michellin PS3's in 195/50/15's are available from a friend (1 race only Ginetta Junior cup )for a great price. I've recently swapped from T1R's to them for winter use and they're great. They're not a bad summer/track tyre either. Not as sticky as R888's though.1 point

@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOThanks Ian, I'm not a member of NWKCOG, I stumbled across it in the Kit Car Blats WhatsApp group. I'll have to just plead ignorance, it's a technique that's served me well throughout my life π1 point

Thank you @Julie Hall - Peak District AO for allowing the token Cobra owner to join in again π After all I've been through with my daughters condition it's great to be part of the Westfield family and it means a lot to still be accepted. I ended up taking a wrong turning on my way home however it turned out for the best as I went up via the Fiddlers Elbow ... which was a fantastic place to stop and enjoy a cigar after the sun came out!1 point
