First driving after loooong winter and spring in garage with this Orange item working on small but time consuming upgrades. Thank You all WSCC Community for precious know how! was very nervous ... Do I remeber how to drive it ?... Will all fluids stay in the car and mamy other possibile issues ( i cant test drive Westfield on roads here). With some problems after 2 laps with new pads (to thick to hispec calipers and after some hard brakings blocking the disc) and with hub, started to get use to this awesome car! Wow wow wow what a car ! (Btw tested recently appilled Sport traction Control . I will try to write more about it in other topic. ) btw 2nd its impossibile to keep social distancing when you come on track with Westfield here Especcialy after first lap times listed

Four Westfields at the beach this morning.

Might even have a boring odometer by then - it's been bosched for 6yrs !! - Brad, can you put Brian H.7 as my Nav please. Thanks, Stephen.

I have friends who live in the States and he was a DEA agent before it became Homelands security. There are thousands of Black people who work in law enforcement over there and many whites as well as Latino and Asians. They are not racists and do their best to uphold law and order under very difficult circumstances. What happen to George Floyd was not right, he died needlessly and once again people like Al Sharpton are quick to pour fuel on the fire, as he has done in the past. Yet with all his rhetoric he and many others have been silent about the deaths of several Black officers during the riots and looting which has followed. Nothing shows your solidarity with a cause like running away from a shop with a flat screen TV under your arm. There is an underclass of poor in the States of all races but it is a land of opportunity for those who have a chance. Take Obama, Father a Kenyan who married a white woman in Hawaii who then got a scholarship to Harvard Law School. They split up and she remarried an Indonesian and went to live in Indonesia. They returned but by then his father could afford to send him to a good school and he followed his father into Law after going to Harvard. He was the first Black, or to be more accurate, mixed race US president. The American dream. Many from the underclass drag themselves up and make a success others become the residents of trailer parks and areas of deprivation, just like over here, except we have a good system of support for those who want it, need it and are willing to take it. Things are far worse in the US. As Blatman points out black on black killings are huge, much gang related which is ignored by many as are the reasons so many fall into crime as do young latinos asians, Latino's and whites. As my friend said, when he came back and was taking off his two guns that he wore to work, life is cheap for many involved in drugs but rewards are huge, so you assume every suspect is armed or high on angel dust and is out to kill you. I am like many I have no answers but when I see people joining in with what is the latest social media event, with little understanding of what bandwagon they are jumping on it is worrying. We need change but after they have put down their cardboard signs and moved on to the next one, remember the kidnapped girls in Africa, about two weeks before the facebook pictures changed, it will still be the same unless all races change. Nothing can justify the rioting and looting and no one can justify George Floyds death or support the officers involved. As for the 75 year old, what we saw looked awful but I have not seen the full version, was he refusing to move when told to? If so how do police move him? Our police will push people but most will not fall and bash their heads. I also noted as soon as the man was down one officer was calling for medical assistance, hard to say on what I have seen and read. Over here the video of a young black man sending a boris bike into a police horse which then bolts and the rider hits a traffic light before the horse then hits a woman protester injuring both again how is that helping ? Can anyone justify that? We are in sad times.

Again we agree on everything Mr Floyd's treatment was harsh, his death an unfortunate tragedy. As noted by my esteemed colleague the cops will hear "police brutality" shouted long and loud every time they make a strong take down and of course sometimes a strong take down is the only way, especially when it is very likely the suspect is armed and is MORE likely to use a weapon than not when confronted by law enforcement. From what I have read, the initial autopsy carried out by (I assume) the state or county coroner found Mr Floyd expired from a heart attack. He was at the time of his detention, high on fentanyl and had meth-amphetamine in his system. He was a big guy, a known criminal who had just committed a suspected further offence. I'm betting he wasn't going to come quietly and given his physical size and criminality he was always going to be a handful if he chose to resist. As above, I am not trying to excuse his treatment at the hands of law enforcement but there must be some thought given to his chosen lifestyle and his likely behavior when told to stop by police. I was doing a bit more research on this (some of you will know I like to examine the legal side for a lot of this stuff...) and I came across this FBI analysis of homicides in the USA from 2017. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/topic-pages/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls Blacks killed by blacks - 2627. Blacks killed by whites - 264. Sadly the stats don't say how many of either statistic were by law enforcement though murder suggests that "legitimate shootings" would not make it into the stats whereas a cop unlawfully killing someone would, but I can't verify that at the moment. I'm betting the number of black people killed by white law enforcement makes up a small number of an already small number. Again, I am not trying to justify anything. I am looking at the facts and figures presented by a trusted source. The index page from which the above sheet can be found is here and gives a lot more tables to look at: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/topic-pages/expanded-homicide

That's the route book drafted, subject to a check drive to concur the mileages and intersections/tulips, and to add a few things in for helpful references. After it's tested, and tweeked if needed, it'll be printed off into route books for the run.

First run since 1st March. Nice at New Brighton.

how the F does 'working' auto spell to 'boring' ??

Addition to my previous post : a set of motion pictures from saturday with comprasion of effort on steering wheel without , and with Traction Control (low intervention of TC set) :

Nice line up...Hopefully Scotland will let us out to play ....

Wonderful. I'll hopefully get to see them again, following you round the Peaks at some point when you've finished your S2000 too!

Theirs a club member in the Lancs area that does some really nice looking parts, though whether they push the aesthetic element more than functional, I wouldn’t like to say. @Steve (stevel) - Lancashire AO Will have the guys details...

One of my favorite shots Innes gets help from the Dutch Army to push his car back on track Zandvoort

Hey Paul , Lockdown has its good points ? Missed this the first time around and you were asking who the chappy with Bruce & Denny was . Innes Ireland Alround F1 driver and Sportsman extrordinair , a real character . I saw him at Mallory Park long after he retired , doing circuit tours for the rich & famous , he managed to roll the Mercedes Limo at the hairpin ,typical Innes His Autobio "All Arms& Elbows " was one of the first motor racing books I read . What a character he was .

Not sure if Siltech do them?

Sadly, I disagree. It shocks and horrifies me to say it, but I think, (globally), things have actually started slipping back and getting worse. Im hoping it’s just more awareness and better publicity/less conspiracy of silence, because I was naive enough to never believe we’d go backwards.

Awesome....!!!

Can you imagine, your the world champion, your sat in your F1 car in the pit lane and some random kid without a pass walks up and asks you for your autograph Son Stephen was 49 this year

The man, yes you really could get this close The cars. The plane.

I will take the fuel rail if you can send payment details

I feel a group buy coming on 😂

He does indeed. Will post up ALL the part numbers. @AndySheldon is this before or after IVA?

Thanks all, hoping it goes to a good home. I've really enjoyed it, and all the help I've had from club. I'll be back on here with my next build for sure. Cheers Gary

I'd not be in law enforcement for all the tea Sri Lanka, they have to put up with the worst humanity has on offer. BUT, there has to be some way it can work better than it is now. I'm quite sure they get the "I cannot breath/ I'm in pain" line from practically every person they restrain, but how on earth can they tell if it's genuine or not? They can't let a suspect go just because they are complaining. Conversely, there can be no sane justification for keeping a guy on the floor with a knee on his neck for 8 minutes, nor for pushing a 75 year old, clearly un-armed and non-aggressive man to the floor. American law enforcement have to assume every person they contact will be armed and homicidal - that's going to take it's toll on how you behave. It's not an excuse, just an observation. I have no answers

Hi thanks for a the interest. It's sold and starting a new life in Italy x SOLD
