Inaugural visit to the peaks? Cake! Count me in. Looking forward to the meet. HB

I'm going to come along and say hello this time meeting up with @RobH72in the morning 👍

There's a very good chance we will be in this continent for the foreseeable future, so weather permitting count Margaret and me in

I should be there, too. (Still on shakedown though so, may have to peel off, but fingers crossed!)

there's something about their webshop I really like, just can't quite put my finger on it :-)

I'll be there.

Sounds like a plan, count me in too 👍

Had a great day first three hours dry, then some rain then at one stage torrential brain and hail stones around the back of the track and dry around the pits area.. Had fun on the damp track when the heavy rain had gone and ended with a dry last couple of hours.. Quite a lot of Caterhams there plus was good to see Luke in his red Westy.. My car ran well with the new discs working well and no issues.. can't blame my couple of spins on them; Roll on the 21st June , hopefully more of the same but maybe a little warmer and a little drier!

Hope you know where 😉 Have a great time!

Can I tag along?

First vid from me. Early session, I think the second one I did. The track was basically dry, and I went out on wet tyres, which I thought were going OK, until they suddenly weren't! They I presume overheated, and the car went all "floaty" on me.. even on the straights. Red flag after a couple of laps and then back out again. My immediate thought was get back in and fit slicks.. what a mistake that was! 🙂

I'll be there too. First outing if the year !!

Sorry but I thought the number plate said something else at first glance.

Just got home. Time to unpack.......

He popped over for a chat - it’s a Mazda 1.8

We've a little convoy (breaker, breaker, rubber duck!) going from Willington Services at 8:45 am (just south of Derby) with @Andy83 and @HB46443 if anyone else wants to join 😂

looking forward to friday hopefully we have some better weather

Hi Julie count me in please😀

Yes, of course, all club members are welcome 👍

If it is a lovely day then I might come up from Worcester again - if that's OK?

Yesssss. Coming!!

Me and young Charlie will be there (if I can prise him out if his pit)

This is a reminder to interested people that Ron Siddle would like to know who will be available for either Sat, Sun on both days either around the paddock or on the start line ( 4 people required ) PLEASE !!!😇

Well after much deliberation, weighing up the pros and cons of build vs buy, I've taken the plunge and bought a rolling chassis! The kit was originally bought in 2002, then @1960dave took it off his hands and built it to its current state. Now its over to me to finish it off. The main bits I need to buy are engine, gearbox, cooling system and exhaust. Undecided on engine at the moment, but will probably go for a Zetec crate engine. And the more I look at the chrome suspension, the less I like it! So I'll probably swap that out for widetrack amongst lots of other upgraditis along the way 😀 Garage before: Garage after: More pics:

Meet at Quackers Cafe at Thornbridge Hall, Ashford-in-the-water, Nr Bakewell, DE45 1NZ, 10am on Bank Holiday Sunday 30th May. After a brew and a cake we will follow a carefully planned route around the Peak District, avoiding the tourists, and finish off with a spot of lunch. The current weather forecast is dry and 20 degrees so let's hope it stays that way. Who is joining us?

Yes, that's the one opposite the Toyota Factory See you Sunday 👍

Me too

Cheers @RobH72 got you. Other side of A38 from Toyota factory. I'll aim to get there 0845 but if I'm not there before 9 don't wait. Ta for the heads up on the fuel stop too. See you Sunday unless the weather forecast dramatically changes. Looking forward Edited to add that's called Derby and Burton services though?

Will be good to see your new toy and all the changes you've made

It'll make your eyes water 😉

Yep... and we're taking onions.. so no need for threatening phone calls about onion homicide required. "..... or the onion gets it" 🤣

Second one.. Later in the day, wet track, and then even later with a wetter track.

Got back to the workshop at 1pm unpacked, had a coffee and then decided to start fresh tomorrow! Going to try and work out how to get the vids off the GoPro tonight!

Calling all Manchester boys and girls. Weather permitting i'm going to join Julie's Peak District Sunday run, anyone up for it?

Dont forget we drive on the left down here 😃

I will come on one of these but can’t make that one unfortunately.

A lot of people cut them from mesh sheets from ebay, along with matching bonnet vents. Loads of styles to choose from and cheaper than Westfield parts

I can’t understand why that TPS from PGM is so expensive. Must be made out dodo and golden eagle shavings

I've got news.. they stayed cold! 😞 Hardly worth a vid Chris, but here's your moment of glory. 🙂

My mate Marshal in the Caterham decided to call it a day after lunch and as he got home he pulled up to the drive and his brake pedal hit the floor. He checked and reservoir was empty! Lucky or what!

I suspect a slight dip in the quality of music on here...

He might have been messed around on a sale by someone. I'm close by, happy to help out.

Fixed.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. hopefully see you all later in the year.

@David lear @David Bennett @Russ Bridgewater This will be a good day out too! I'm not 100% sure If I'll be there, but you'll still be welcomed without me leading your there.

i need better waterproofs!

Those looking awesome, you will be asked about offset. Did you try them on your Westfield? Any reason for selling? Andy

I was watching a film yesterday evening with my 8 yr old Daughter when there was a scene when a record is playing, her comment was 'Jeez...that's a big CD!' 🤣 This is the same girl who asked what's this? I said 'It's a VHS cassette, you watch films on it', clearly not the best description as she picked it up looked at it and said 'its broke, and where is the screen?!' She assumed it was portable! And this is why she thinks I lived in the old fashion days! I'm only 45!!!
