Just wanted to say how good it is to be back as a WSCC member! I bought an old (1989 chassis) SEiW around 10 years ago. I owned if for 6 years and in that time had many rounds of upgradeitous. I sold the car 4 years ago and regretted it pretty much immediately. A month ago I managed to track down the owner and bought it back! Many people asked why but my first drive put a huge grin on my face - it has a Dunnell 1800 Zetec that I purchased through this site when originally a member. Why this club is so good is the willingness of people to help out And share info. I just rebuilt the entire back end which is the old style English diff with Westfield case and uprights. I managed to track down all the bearings, seals, spec and information from very helpful club members and old threads. So thanks all, it’s a great club to be a part of.

Thought I had seen it up for sale at some point.

My mates building an a series hill climb mini ...........his banter is strong bless him

Appropriate username! 😄 Cant help on the car but it doesn’t look TOO bad. Can you go and see it before you bid?

Not as dangerous as these: or this: You’re welcome. 😛

ooooohhh we're doing that? Not me...

Not me 😁

Hi Robin,weather looking good see you at squires.

I'm going with that, unless I hear anything contradictory .. m' lud. @Chris King - Webmaster made me do it officer. 😉

Well legally as far as I can see we are ok to do a track day (currently) quote: “People should not spectate at any grassroots sport or play sport in the restricted areas.“ “Travel outside the area is permitted but visiting another home or garden is not.” “Meeting people outside your household or support bubble in private homes and gardens is banned”

How’s this?

Well after a great August meeting, with a large number cars and people attending (see pics) and a great day out at Curborough, we were looking forward to another great meeting in September. However, Covid strikes again, the rising infection rate has driven the government to introduce the six person rule for gatherings. As we generally have triple the prescribed number for our meetings it becomes necessary to cancel the September meeting to avoid any issues. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can get together again but in the meantime look out for online meetings going forward.

Do you want a lodger? 😉

Another grey one (shiny primer) here, its very 'Marmite' but i think it makes the style look very modern and stands out

Really makes you feel a bit sad. Time for another anecdote. My brother was fortunate enough, through his own hard work for 20 years and saving, to buy his dream car, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage about 8 years ago... he was sitting behind a car waiting to turn right at traffic lights which where on green. Car in front, slams into reverse and accelerates as hard as it could smashing the front of my brothers car. why? anyones guess.... Guy gets out and had his gf + kid in his car, gave false details and drove off. Brother tracked the guy down on facebook and reported him to the police. The police adamantly stated it could not be this gentleman as he was banned from driving for...wait for it; driving a car whilst disqualified... ???? ... no insurance, no tax, no MOT... police couldn't care less... bro had to get it repaired out of his own pocket.... yet Mr / Mrs law abiding citizen (you and I) even dare forget to insure or tax or have a slightly small number plate and we get the full weight of the law... Even if they do catch the guy that smashed into his MG, the police will do nothing and said scumbag will be back on the road before you know it. What annoys me, is the scumbags of this world have the exact same democratic vote as you or I. An equal say despite not having an equal input into society. (sorry getting a bit political)... grrrr.....

Well what can I say.....the car is absolutely brilliant. A real credit to the work of the original builder and the brilliant work done by Peter on the engine. Just done a nice 300 mile trip and loved every second of it. A massive thanks. I am so thrilled to bits

Me too, can’t wait to mingle with all you locked down folk
