Thanks all for giving me a hand. My relatives(Father's consin) running sushi restaulant in London. I want to go to the United Kingdom at least once. I'll try asking question after seeing the log. Everyone's story is interesting！ Thanks. My westfield and my son.

Good to see @elrik @Si.Dalziel @Westie66 @Andy Wallwork @David lear last night. @Si.Dalzielwas that worried I wouldn't make it back from a 3 day tour of Yorkshire that he tracked me via Whatsapp and found us on the M6, escorted us the Golden Peasant. Sadly his sheepherding skills weren't so good as @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary @Stu Faulkner and @Greenstreak-Andy D escaped! @Si.Dalziel Took us on a good run to the Cat And Fiddle too: The new Congleton Bypass has some top quality tarmac 👍

As the convoy was passing by me anyway and the fact@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Had been sharing his location all day it seemed rude not to join the weary travellers for a bit. I got a wave from about half a mile away from @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary, then came @Stu Faulkner, @Greenstreak-Andy D and finally @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO pointing into the sky at something. After a brief stop a few of us did indeed sample the splendid tarmac of the new Congleton bypass (I’m not sure it would be wise to show footage of that) Then onto a quick sunset stop at the Cat and Fiddle inn after avoiding a family of ducks. For any animal lovers I was obviously joking about harming the ducks and they would have done more damage to the cars if we had gone through them.

What a good idea... best warm up the Moderation Team, I’ve plenty of threads in mind.

My Westfield is 30 today. First registered on 01/07/1991. Anyone else got an old Westfield still in regular use? Here's to the next 30.

Bangers? Brussels? Blatman

Shigeo, welcome to the Forum. I hope we can all help with your work to get your car on the road. It's over forty years since I was last in Japan. I used to visit frequently to see our licensees Kanamatsu Gosho and their sub-licensses Daifuku Machinery and Kanagafuchi Chemicals. We licensed the manufacture of products using a patented moulding process to incorporate steel reinforcement into injection mouldings. I visited plants in many places in Japan and got to love the place. The Hakone National Park and the coach run to the fifth station (I think it was fifth) were wonderful. Once the licensees experience was as good as ours I didn't need to visit any more unfortunately. One day I will take my wife and we'll see all the sights together. A 'Green Pallet' (trade name) and a typical steel armature.

Welcome bet the roads are ace for a westy in Japan 🇯🇵 Maybe not all of them made the boat

On the way back from MOT today, all good with no advisories😊

Sorry for the delay folks, had to pop out yesterday but that doesn't detract from what looks like a good weekend's racing. Results are below as normal and they look spot on to me but looks can be decieving so any problems, please let me know and I will deal with straight away.

So you pay a small fortune for a car then get killed by a 150mph bee?

Weather permitting, I plan on taking it to Stoneleigh and abusing parking privileges on the WSCC pitch

Funnily enough a few of us were talking about your Midlana the other day, it looks a beautiful car and having a Busso it must sound stunning too! I'd love to see it in the flesh 👍

Better take extra fuel, parked in Gainsbourough😊

Surely these are good enough to become a forum regular? "The Ex- chairman's hand-grenade" Eagerly awaiting the next installment. 💣. 👍. 🤣

seems like voodoo magic to me . i just let you get on with it . 😂

What a lovely little boy!

We have a fully automated version.. completely useless… falls asleep and mostly prefers it in the house where it warm and dry.. As I say useless

You can sell the by product as Gas Tank Gin……claim it’s ‘artisanal’ and someone would buy it.

@DamperMan I feel your pain and tears! I had similar issues after laying my sandstone patio about 10 yrs ago or so despite laying it on a full wet bed mortar. I lifted the loose ones or any other suspect ones and then relaid them but using sbr and slurry mix as you say (spraying back of slabs with the hose also to reduce slurry mix drying out to quickly). I then repointed it all by hand again but I had a mix of sbr and water which I carefully brushed into the joints and along the edges of the slabs to aid with the mortar to bond with the stone, and then really packed it in hard. I took it really personally that I had done something wrong but I have been to so many friends houses who have had their patios laid by professionals and seem to have had similar issues, what made it worse was I laid mine in a heatwave so everything was drying out quickly.... 6:1 mortar is what I used also. A mate of mine who does a lot off groundwork and patios did say to me to add some sharp sand to the mortar to aid with binding it together. Maybe I was be a little ambitious as I had never done this before but this was my finished result, it needed 20 tonnes of scalpings to get it to the finished height to work with the bifold doors, and the stones were a ball ache to cut the curves into but with the steps it turned out good, just needs a good wash when summer comes??!!!?? Good luck

……..and a blow on the ragmans trumpet? 😁

Ours is 30 this September. (This shot is 10 yrs old but it still looks like this) This was just before the colour change. Originally built it with swept wings and polished screen & pillars. It'll be on the Tesco run tomorrow morning.

Will you take £494?

@Shigeo Welcome! Don’t worry, we’ll help get you back on the road. You’ve started in the right forum area to say hello, now you can start asking technical questions in Tech Talk. We only have two rules - there are no stupid questions so please ask away, and we like photos so attach them to your questions when you can. I hope that when you get it running again that you show us videos or pictures of you driving around Japan too!

What a good idea for a new section ........... primary rules are that any light hearted witty banter must be taken totally seriously and the thread must drift into a major political/religious/social/economic debate with 5 posts 🤣👍🏻 ............ anyway, what's wrong with brown velour and square steering wheels 🤣 good job it wasn't the van den plas version 🤣 Popcorn shortage about to start

You shouldn't apologies for your 'poor' English, as it is a lot better than any of our Japanese! Any questions you need to ask relating to the issues you have with the car can be asked in the 'Tech Talk' area of the forum and you should be able to get an appropriate response.

Thanks everyone! I live in the conuntryside near the Kobe. I'm car mechanic.Lotus is Customer's Car.(Jealous..) Exactly,Caterham is famous than Westfield as [SevemStyleCar] in Japan... I presume My car was imported in 1993 By Checker Motors.(That was Closed…) My car was [terrible] modify and repair ....(oil leak at sump,steering shaft hits the chassis, and more!!!) Only hope is WSCC. Sorry for poor English.

popping in to see @Jim cunliffe

Welcome and hope it’s not to long before you are able to enjoy her. meantime don’t be afraid to ask any questions there’s a lot of helpful people on here.

Welcome it is nice to hear from somebody so far away Just abit of surface dust which im sure will easily wash off if its been stored for sometime may be a good call to replace the rubber fuel hoses As the parts department have said to was a big market back in the day but the exchange rate messed that job up , was a rumour that a large amount of cars got shipped and never got road registered just sitting in a storage unit somewhere 😪

Welcome. This site is brilliant for getting help.

Welcome, is the Europa in the background yours also? Japan is on our list of destinations

We have lots of vehicles in Japan, at one point it was a huge market for us. Happy to help. We have a few garages in Japan that maintain customers cars also. Depending on where you're located these may also be able to assist.
