great news Adam. I think between us we’ve made a lot of blokes very happy 😃

What happens in the Bongo, stays in the Bongo

Late to the party. A couple of vids from me. First one, me chasing after @Michael Whitworth until I pass, then a couple of laps from the rear camera. Second one, is pretty similar to start with. Pete chasing Mike, and then getting a few clearish laps afterwards.

Post Cadwell check over. I think I got the most out of the front brake pads.

Thanks for your message Andy - really, really chuffed the car is staying in the club and going to a great home! 😃

I will be there virtually

Accepted, shame to be virtual again, but I do agree, it’s the better option given pandemic situation. Andy

chasing @Andy (Sycho) and a cateringvan at Cadwell yesterday. great picture thanks to @Andrew

Hi folks. I’m new to the forum and club, and currently looking for a wide bodied Westie. I plan to use it purely for touring with my wife, and local hoonery around town and country, so not looking for race spec in any way with roll cages etc. Spec I’m ideally looking for is as follows but not absolutely set in stone (I’m aware that I may be chancing my arm, but hey, who knows if somebody is ready to upgrade: Would prefer non Q plate, (no snobbery) just I’ve got my cherished number plate from my last vehicle currently on retention possible 2005+ (long shot maybe so not a deal breaker if earlier) Zetec engine (not fussed re power output) with low miles preferably not motorbike engine LSD Bodywork anything but primary colour (would prefer navy/BRG/dark red/cream, these sort of colours) Comfortable classy interior (I know it’s not a Bentley, but looking for nice) leather seats (maybe 2 tone) not bothered 4 point or inertia belts fully carpeted Full weather gear and doors boot area recent tyres full windscreen Overall package is more important than any one spec If anyone knows of, or has a car they’re selling in next few months please contact me on 0787 056 7909. I live in Glasgow, but prepared to travel countrywide for the right car, with a good history at the right price. I’ll update post once I’ve found a car, so post could run for a while and is still valid if I don’t mark it as “(FOUND)” thanks Duncan

Somebody with a very similar phone number to me just got a really confusing message 🤣 Sorry Andy. Correct number now sent!

I’ve sent a Text mate, speak tomorrow. 👍

@AdamR you truly are a top bloke 👍

My punishment for selling up!

So technically I’d just be the storage and transport to the track 😂

@AdamR has now been messaged! I hope this plan comes together! Trailer at the ready!

Spot of hillclimb testing at Prescott on Sunday. Now planning some winter jobs ready for a full season of sprints next year!!

I’d be more than happy to look after the munter because I’m loosing patience with this Audi, and really want more track time.

Do we trust any of the parties, are they all a shambles and some just worse than others . Who is capable of putting it right. I dont see anyone recommending an alternative.

Fixed

Yes! If you take the munter I’ll swallow my pride and do Croft

Thanks for thinking of me Ian 👍 I had seen it ,but as the mileage is different from mine and I only need the Speedo I’ve ordered a new one. They’re going to send it with my current mileage entered on to It for no extra charge .

Msv I didn't scroll down that far when I was looking

Not sure. Maurici just made me book it!

Worn all the tread off your tyres too!

@Weekend Warrior could this Speedo suit you?

I think the rules are really simple. First is keep 6 feet or more away from people. If that is not possible wear a mask and that includes outdoors on busy high streets etc where social distancing is not possible. The wearing of gloves seems eminently sensible to me (and I always do) and where that doesn't happen, when one arrives home, wash hands with some sort of soap. Doesn't have to be anti-bacterial (d'oh...) soap it just has to be soap. Where areas are going into different types of restrictions it is incumbent on the residents of that area to understand their local rules. Why would the residents of Wales (for example) care about the restrictions of Burnley (for example) other than to moan that one is disadvantaged over the other by (some sort of stupid, pointless) comparison? We see all of the various restrictions detailed on the news and yes I agree that when seen all at once it looks confusing but really no-one has to know all of them off by heart and I don't expect Boris, or any other politician to have memorised the lockdown restrictions for all the different regions individually. What we have yet again is opposition for the sake of easy points scoring backed by an inept and sensationalist media. As a "disease" of our political and media systems, cheap points scoring for the sake of it, or for clicks on websites has been with us for far too long and will be around long after Covid-19 has become a once a year reminder to get a vaccine shot along with the one for 'flu.

Thanks RussH. Just one of the list I was compiling, but good to know. May have considered doing the very occasional track experience at our local Knockhill, but then again maybe not. Just looking for a nice clean car to drive and spend a ridiculous amount of time fettling with!!!

Hold on - might be jumping ship to another TDO who do Croft on the 19th with lower numbers. Waiting on Mike to see what’s what - thanks for the heads up @Andrew

i always find trackday photos boring lol Andrew's/Pete's are better

The advert says to phone or email him, have you tried those methods?

@Andy Wallwork as discussed earlier. @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary has kindly set this up and you're on the skype invite, so hopefully see you on Thu.

99mph plane spotting at Cadwell yesterday. 🙂 Lancaster overhead. 😎

100mph plane spotting at Cadwell yesterday. 🙂 Lancaster overhead. 😎

A few more pics: Who was in the green BEC? I kept meaning to wander over and have a chat .. but didn't.

Indeed they do. Never did get round to doing that shootout... half a dozen drivers plus one Lionel plus one Munter would make an amazing day out... Have someone "interested" (not sure how you can be "interested" in a free car, you either want it, or not...) but he hasn't got a trailer. I've said it's first come, first served...

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

New rims fitted.

Polishing and waxing complete. Even swept the garage out. Come on dvsa I'm itching to get out to play.

My wife’s first ride in the Westfield. I don’t know where she thinks she is going to put that shopping? 😁

You haven't?

You've married your car?

Good grief. Surely that was a deliberate act? Not like it was hidden is it.

Went out for a drive and come a cross this art work on the wall of a bridge and I couldn’t help myself, I had to stop for a pic.

Blyton....

Hi Dave You should enjoy this short video then (if the link works) Barry

Sunday : check early : check Weather: check Blatter's down Avon gorge :check

Managed to get out in both cars this weekend - quick blat around Yeovil and surroundings in the Eleven yesterday and then Burrington Combe (B3134) and Cheddar Gorge (B3135) in the SEIW today - roll on the Summer.
