aka c*cking about.

This was my winter project....

Much prefer my pic from 2018😳

Been a while since this thread was last used, and thought it's worth just checking in. Hope you are all OK

A couple more photos from yesterday. Cars lined up at Thornbridge and the ubiquitous cow muck that inhabits the Peak District and has to cover some part of the car, even on the hottest driest days

Who said the westy wasnae practical ….😂😂😂 A great day out took the long route to visit mum via the lecht, corgarf ( bacon roll cake n coffee) then down strathdon and kildrummy over Huntly and Aberchirder to Turriff I’ve kept missing Scott with his megabusa so he popped over from new Byth for a blether then it was in by to pick up some plants on the way home. Left at 10 this morning and home at 9 just as the rain started… happy days

@SteveH used to do a great coordination job on the trackday front for the club and the back office staff for the club feel it may be worth another go/experiment. So from myself putting my hand up earlier in the week, I will now be taking up the role of trackday coordinator/liaison/advisor for the club. This is not to stop/take over any of the current organised events between club members but to try and add further value to a growing group of Westfield club members. I will establish a single point of contact with many of the large Track day organisers and manage where possible the discount code for the club or further discount for large numbers 10+. I would also like to try and get a couple more official club days together, but this will all depend on the members support. I would like to offer support to novices who would like to dip there toe into trackdays, I often see new members say general touring Westfield with a couple of trackdays a year, these are the people i would really like to help. As starting out for your first couple of day would be much easier with the support at the curcuit from other members. Finally I will be the contact for flags, gazebo etc to be booked in and out, that would like to be used at trackdays. It would be great to get some more publicity for the club at these days and hopefully adding a little more off track organisation will help. I will be looking at some dates of days throughout the rest of the year and start the tdo liaison over the next couple of weeks. There is a great core group of friendly track day goers in the club and it has been slowly growing in the last couple of years. A few more would make club only days more viable and the first bonus of that is no clio's to deal with 😁. Many thanks Simon.

Absolutely fantastic weekend, this is one of the highlights of my sprinting calendar. Unfortunately I can't make it this year due to another commitment but anyone thinking about this event should definitely do it.

You need to take things more leisurely Craig 😃

Just renewed an MX5 with A-Plan Thatcham. I now have 3 cars with you and find the prices competitive - but the best thing is not having to fill out separate driving, claims, employment, address history from scratch for myself and my wife every single time we need to insure... That's worth quite a lot!

@maurici weren't you looking fro a track car a while back?

Cheap, but I'm not sure that silver duct tape is an MSA-approved firewall material....

Appreciate you trying us! We don't use budget insurers so we never claim to be the absolute cheapest every time although we are as competitive as possible (and often lowest cost) for the cover that's included with some of the lowest call wait times and admin charges in comparison to our competitors and all with no call centres. That being said, as much as we'd love to... we can't win them all Please try us again next time around as underwriters are always adjusting criteria.

You can always just buy a new one (now this one has been sold) 😊 https://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.php?search=VW302

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Julie Hall - Peak District AO ... sorry I'm so late with this. I hope you had a great day and enjoyed lots of 🎂🍰🧁😉

no, I had it

Thanks Gary, there’s a bit of work to do, but from what I’m told it’s an interesting car.

Venue restrictions. Unlimited numbers up to the "covid safe" capacity of the venue.

Do you have to ask? 🍔🍺

Almost finished. Just need to get some PVA glue then the windows and lights can go on.

Still not able to enjoy the sunshine quite yet but managed to get the stripes fitted this weekend. More in my build thread.

Me too! 😁

Happy Birthday..a day late sorry

Well the cake got demolished before it got photographed but it was very gooey and had a 50 on it. After visits from friends and family in the morning we went to the swimming pool at Matlock Bath followed by a visit to Ca**ington Water. Surprisingly all done in the MX5 because it needed a run and the Westfield is getting one tomorrow, that surprised me too. So after the last 8 days cycling/swimming in the Lake District we are going to Rutland Water cycling for 3 days next week. What a shame Rutland Water is a reservoir and you are not allowed to swim in it. It has been lovely to read your messages and thank you for thinking of me today.

What a lovely post, it has really added to my day @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO and thank you to you and your family for the lovely card 😍, that's twice I have had a lump in my throat already today ❣️ Reading all the other comments is lovely too, thank you everyone, I will let you know how my day goes later🥰 Love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is the last model I finished. It's a Ford Escort Mexico, converted from a RS 1600 rally car using decals and RS alloy wheels from Motobitz.

😢 Guys, I'm not going to be able to make this weekend! 😢 I'm gutted as I could do with the distraction but I can't get around my other commitments.. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
