HAHHAHA ... it would have been a far better video seeing u pulling out that cloth from your engine bay and seeing the relief in your face lol .. but Gary’s smoke signal was way better lol

Massive thanks to @Si.Dalziel Who rescued me today.

The Orange Fire Engine! (Theres a story to this one) 🤦‍♂️

The Kames Krew

Not really my Westy but it was nice to see @Paul Aspden The 2nds new stripes after his call for assistance with a minor issue. If anyone else chooses burtonwood services to break down I’m happy to come help lol.

i think this is a great idea. i dont mind taking up the roll(ratified offically of course in the right way) so that there is a club offical contact for TDO's. potential for a couple more club supported days through the year then ontop of the current blyton day. not precious though if someone else fancies to job. anyway Gazebo wise i think the current club one isnt a pop up or am i thinking of the big one we use at blyton normally. ideally 6x3 size would be suitable i supose could still be put back into the stores at Dels as i pass by most weeks at least once to the office so can get it to and from people. maybe worth a look at the quartermasters inventry first to see if there is something usable.

Here you go... I’ve put something together not sure I got everyone but better planing next will help with that lol Think it’s alright for a first attempt 😊 and put some video at the end with Gary’s clouds of smoke and someone’s over shot of one of the corners ( you know who u are 😂) enjoy ive just uploaded to YouTube and hope that’s ok with everyone 😁 Jamie

A couple from me - excuse the poor sound.

I’ll see if I can put some video together today and post it up for everyone.. Also a great day and enjoyed seeing the cars zip round the track.. just looking up helmets the now for next time 😂😂.

I couldn’t believe how stable it was being so small - excellent bit of kit. I used to fly RC helicopters in the 80’s when they were pretty basic and although way bigger they were a right swine to control! I recall my brother asking for a go and I said £50. He asked why and I said that’s the cost of a new boom and blades when you crash it. Naaah he says, I’ll not crash. 30 seconds later he handed me the £50.

Good Morning All, I am a new owner of a Westfield Kit Car and I need some advise if possible regarding parts and where to look.. Firstly I am looking for someone in Cheshire to look over the car and give it a check over. I would also like to purchase a spare wheel and a boot cover, and half hood. Possible re spray of the bonnet as it has cracks in the gel which I would like repairing. Any guidance gladly received. Regards, Rick

Found it. Ronart w152. Nice.

And while Gary recreated a Top of the Pops set from the 80's, you briefly see me frantically lifting my bonnet with extinguisher in hand!

That's excellent camera work and editing and wouldn't look out of place on Top Gear. I did think the smoke signal was the sign the BBQ Lunch was ready! Clearly I was wrong! What a great way for those who attended to remember the day.

Im sure it was a Mavic Mini Dave. That video is superb and for a first time Im very impressed. Are you happy for me to share the Youtube link?

Glad you like it 😊... will deffo be up for doing some more in the future

I'm happy to carry this to/discuss this with the committee, if perhaps you want to start a sepperate thread in the track day section to discuss it and narrow it down to something I can pitch for you to the rest of the committee?

Booked, time to loose that Cadwell cherry!

Yes, all my bags were specially made. For the boot bag I gave the required outside dimensions and they made it spot on to fit. I added a thin hardboard base to the bag just to give it structure when it's not in situ. Drop them a note on the contact page, I'm sure they can do a bag with a step in it, but you may wish to draw them a diagram so they are clear. My boot bag took two attempts, I wasn't that clear on my initial instructions and the opening was made on the side not the top. But I wanted to be able to open it whilst it's on the car. They helpfully redid it.

After missing a year, the Run to the Sun is back. It'll be a bit different this time. 2019 saw us going to the Ship Inn at Sewerby, but as they had a wedding on, they didn't really seem to want extra meals to cook. So this year it's fish and chips at Hornsea! We'll meet at Rothwell Sports Centre at 4 pm, join the A63 at Garforth, on to Selby, then the A163 to Holme on Spalding Moor, A614, A1079 to Market Weigton then Beverley, A1035 to Leven, And finally the B1244 into Hornsea and a sea front chippy. How does that sound?

Hi there! I'm Paul and I live in Newport South Wales. I'm in the process of buying a largely unstarted kit SE, dating approx 1988, so if correct, would be just after the Pre-Lit? I hope to pick up the chassis and bodywork this week, so I'll know more about it then! 😊 Regards, Manic

I so wish I’d video’d that instead of helping you to frantically remove the bonnet 🤣

We saw one at Statfold on Sunday, stunning bit of kit!

Hi, just noticed this topic, I can't make Saturday but I am going to C&M Sunday morning if anyone else is going to be about? It's only a 10min drive from me so plan to be there 10-10:30 then take a long route home ## apologies for the kinda thread hijack Ian

Always read the small print 😉

You Kame, you saw you Konquered!

DJI Mini 2

It’s the Dji mini 2 ... fab little drone

Erm…… well I can’t argue with that! I can also thoroughly recommend @BLiNK Motorsportthey did my GEO and I’m sure they would give it a good once over for you. You may want to book sooner rather than later as they are always pretty busy but know westfields well.

😳 that footage is great, really a first time? You'd never know.

The ongoing GoPro saga continues! My footage has recorded up side down! However I managed to drop the speed on last night. Need to work on editing it and flipping the right way round now.

Discount for multiple bookings🤷‍♂️ the guys who run it own a kit car don't they?

It was around £30 plus postage. I gave them the measurements of the door and they made the bag to fit. This was quoted for without the divider, which they added later. The divider is simply padded material so the two doors are kept separate. It's a good fit, and absolutely fine for my needs. Ideally a touch smaller may be better and the zip opens at the top and part way down each side so you drop the doors on. May be better to fully open at the sides and then you could lay the doors in and zip it up.

Get yer finger out then 😛

I'm game

As gremlins stole my last Cadwell day, I think It's probably compulsory for me.. 😉

I’ll check my diary today, but would love another Cadwell trip. Disclaimer - no car camping for me though!

I’m keen 👍

Who had the drone? Looking forward to seeing some footage 👍

Just home and unloaded, will sort a few pics tomorrow . But and it’s a big but, thank you all for coming both all taking part and some of the clan arrived to keep an eye on those border reivers..... seriously it was good to catch up with everyone thank you

Yes it is, I was parked next to a Mk1 Fiesta.

Welcome Paul. Great to see another local member and it sounds like you'll be in a similar situation to me soon, wondering what the hell you've let yourself in for! 😀 But from what little I've learnt so far, your definitely in the right place. There are so many members here who've been there and got the t-shirt and are more than willing to help newbies like us with the daft questions. 👍

Carbon NV screen and new lifeline mirrors fitted. Required a lot of hole filling from previous screens. Scuttle needs a bit more sanding and polishing but nothing critical. Also fitted a carbon foam cored boot panel as the old one would warp in the sun. I've still to fit the center mirror but may not bother at all as it requires cutting the screen.

Welcome 👋

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing pictures of it!

Welcome from Somerset!

from Scarborough.
