Today at Clee on the Hill, Shropshire.

Miracles we can do, the impossible may take longer 🤓

Unfortunately the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh is not going to happen this year. An alternative event is the Oulton Park Gold Cup on the bank holiday weekend. Possibly the best event at this circuit and the Wirral and North Wales area have a display stand for up to 20 cars. Come along and say hello, we have tea and chocolate cake.

Oh for goodness hake, some of you are making right prawns of yourselves with these, it's a very shell-fish attitude, I'd better get my Skate on, if I want to join in! But I need time to mullet over, trouble is, every one I think of is a loads of pollocks

there’s always medical science, I’m sure they’d love to explore what’s going on in your mind

Yeah, probably around half a dozen I'm aware of, but it's one you need to go in with, with your eye's open!

From the factory, the 100mm Sunburst logo transfer is £3.30 inc VAT. Cheaper than a large frothy coffee.

ten or fifteen years ago, the S2000 was regarded as one of the hardest engine swaps to do in a Westfield. It's become much easier since then, due to Westfield themselves making an S2000 model. However, Westfield had the whole chassis re-designed to suit, so be aware, it's not the same as a standard car, by a long chalk. At least now though, you can buy loads of parts off the shelf, so to speak, to do the conversion. One of the main complications, is that the engine and gearbox are so physically big! When the factory were having the chassis re-developed for the Mega S2000 model, they used one of their existing chassis as a starting point, this was one with the widest transmission tunnel they made, and even then, it had to be tweaked wider! It also had the scuttle area modified to clear the bellhousing. Though most people trying to do the swap on existing cars end up cutting a big chunk out of the bellhousing, and have it plated over, instead. They do work really well in a Westfield though, and it's a hugely charismatic engine...

I’m not sure if you will be able to do a straight swap without doing some chassis modifications or cutting the S2000 bell housing. Cracking car though by the looks of it!

Thanks.. 2 trackdays in the last 2 weeks and another on the 5th August. Mrs L would be grumpy if I did another... small steps into retirement

Thanks to a very helpful George at A-Plan (Thatcham), I have renewed my insurance policy at a cost of £135. Additionally, in a very kind gesture due to my wife working for front-line NHS, George sorted an additional discount by way of a thank you. Fabulous gesture and great customer service - thank you A-Plan.

If I remember correct, got this one from eBay:

thanks for letting us know - probably for the best 👍 I will miss my yearly fix of Westfielding

As a way to pass some time during my furlough, I have invested in some cutting and pressing gear, along with teaching myself how to use open source photo editors and illustrators. First result, my "Pre-Lit Pop Art" tee shirt.

Very cool and a change from BLACK! Could even get the Mrs to wear one of those I think...

Thanks Gary Will PM you my number and email to be added to the mailing list, although I'll be holding off on any long journeys until I source a screen and wet gear...too much of a risk in bonnie Scotland.

Thanks Dave. I’ve now found an old thread discussing the differences, and I agree that mine is an RAC one. It has only one cross brace, plus rose jointed back supports. And it fits a full hood/cover. Plus it’s been on the car since before a Westfield even offered the track compliant version with double cross braces, no rose joints and thicker tubing. As I won’t be racing my car, and just using it for fun touring, I think I’ll stick with the RAC version.

What you need is sticker saying "Effing Big V8". Loads of "Built Not Bought" stickers about, probably from eBay.

Here’s mine

We’d need to see a decent picture to be sure, but I “think” from the pics I’ve seen, your car probably has what’s known as the RAC Roll bar, Ewan.

Heres the bit in the manual that confirms it

St Helens was my home town . I was dragged up there ! its a small world

Perfect, let me know

I know - that surprised me. Apparently it’s only motorhomes and caravans as they have their own loos and showers? But we did see tents on the beach front at Applecross - maybe they were “day tents” - anyway sorry to divert the thread so here’s another pic (mine’s in there honest!)

Not a epic euro tour this time just a weekend camping a couple of weeks ago adhering to the current rules and regs 🙂 cracking sunset on the campsite 😎

Disagree- it looks very good!

Not recent but this was taken from the main deck of a superyacht as we traveled north from Holland to Bergen in Norway.

Joined the forum properly now (Iam sure I will get my £30 worth in knowledge!) and ordered my Westfield modular kit. Just started a build diary for progress 👍🏼👍🏼 roll on 12 weeks! 😁

LukeW can you pm me your post code and registration so I can take a look and see if I have any other ideas for you lol

Might be the worst one yet...

Have had a couple of days to myself but thought on seeing this thread I should post. On Friday I crashed the car. No damage to me but a fair bit to the Westy. I will be rebuilding but it will not be quick. This means that I won’t be able to come to the navigation weekend. This is the second time I have had to cancel this for two differing reasons and to Brad and Diane I can only apologise most profusely. Have a great time.
