Hi all! I just joined the club and am a happy, paid up member of WSCC as of this morning 😁 My mate and I went halves in a 1988 pre-lit narrow body Westfield 4 weeks ago (a cunning plan to keep our wives happy as we both have too many other cars/toys haha). We both took an afternoon off work yesterday to drive the Westy up to visit the Westfield Factory - lovely trip/great guys 👌. Been to Shelsley Walsh in it twice in the last two weekends (as a spectator)!

Thanks mate. Yes, its a 711m - now 1700cc, twin Webbers and headers. Kent rally cam. 5 speed type 9 gearbox - all less than 2,000 miles... (sounds lovely!)

Quick spin round local roads on Herefordshire/Worcestershire border. Easy to forget how good some of our local roads are, this is Upper Sapey cricket ground. Gary

Sometimes we have to just accept defeat... although I do pride myself in occasionally beating @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary to answer a TQ before him (approx 1/1000 ratio) which I class as a rare win for me 😆

I have just done some calculations. I don't know what my average post count is per day, but if it's 10 I will be 67 before I catch and overtake @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary, and that's assuming Dave does not post at all in the next 12 years... And to get this free Westfield I will be 87, I'd be surprised if knew what a Westfield was at that age.

There are posts speculating about Plays Kool. (Face Book, Locost Builders etc). Though at least one of the people posting frequently has more axes to grind than the entire Canadian logging industry.

Sorry 😃

Ah great, make that 68 years old now 😂

Which you'll find in aisle 6 near the stripy paint...

Yes, welcome, lovely looking car - good colour too ( cough) , now I am hoping it has the Mighty Crossflow under that bonnet ?

If you all think I am going to make some 1:43 scale spanners to change it with, you will have a very long wait 😄.

Nooooooo....... time to build a replica scissor jack now!😉

On the dukes pass. And then took a wrong turn and got very happily a bit lost on the way home

Celebrating my cars 25th birthday

Hello and welcome to all new Members and returning Members, due to the unforeseen circumstances at the moment there will be a delay in you receiving your membership packs, I'm currently on lockdown here at Membership Towers, so as soon as things improve ill get the membership packs out in the post..... Thanks you for your understanding in these unusual times, Stay safe Mark

Fans do not have to wait long.. the series will launch on Saturday, August 8th exclusively on WSCC prime forum. This unofficial post lockdown double jabbed Euro-Tour Special will star (in no particular order): @marcusb .......... @W Shep ..... @John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO 🚑 ................ @terryathome .. Preparations are going very bad great 😆

Steel box profile sheets fit and forget , you can get it cheap on eBay sometimes, I have been lucky to have spare from big shed builds over the years and got mine that way , done a few sheds for people now with no issue, ask around and try local adds any colour will do as you can paint it

I'm about to re-roof my shed, i've got a roll of decent quality felt knocking about, the stuff that came with the shed was terrible and actually started to melt during the hot weather a few weeks ago. I have been contemplating lining it with plastic sheeting though, as the cats around here are a bit scratchy and the old felt seemed to let water seep into the boarding underneath.

Hopefully we will join you 👍

This took some finding, could be dubious lyrics in todays world.

Another time based one so Perfect 10 to 11 o'clock - take it way Bono.

Ice 9 to perfect 10...

Hope its not true like luke and he's a great guy and always had excellent first class service from him

Strike off action has been suspended atm, like you say lets not speculate and hopefully official status will be confirmed soon

Strike off relates to unpaid taxes to HMRC I believe although we are doing what everyone else has been doing and speculating lol i am sure Luke will be along to put us right soon enough.

I guess they do 😁, you may find like me, ( if you have wet weather gear) with the hood up it gets really too hot , even in winter, such a small space and the heat coming though you can get away with just a tee shirt in minus conditions, I am sure the neighbours think I am crackers when they see me out in January 😄

@Stu FaulknerIt is a great weekend I hadn't been for a few years as normally clashes with another event I like to go to however went there this year and was brilliant weekend never took the westfield tho. I went with a mate of mine called clive who I hear works with you stu ?

Not to worry, I will keep a look out for one, thanks for looking.

Sorry no - I just looked through the mountains of receipts but there's nothing on the manifold...👍

Metric? On a Caterham? So much for heritage...

Welcome, a lovely looking Westfield, too!

I am sure we will be invited back with the British Sprint again

And axle stands!

Geez political nonsense, the UK is GB as far as I am concerned. So this is now not acceptable? - madness. But thanks for pointing that out. It's going to make a mess of the bodywork, I had to glue those on... I had not considered the ULEZ thing, I don't think any of my stays over encompass that system, but another thing to check on, thanks.

How about Christian Horner for the Diplomatic Service?

Just me and my nephew today for the parade lap, but we did it properly and stopped in pole position to spin our wheels and lay a teeny bit of rubber on the track. The Silverstone Classic is a great day out, there’s loads to see and do, and watching the wheel to wheel racing of such special historic cars is fabulous. As usual the mini racing was epic. We walked around the paddock and garages, listening to the racket of thunderous engines and smelling the half burnt fuel. bl**** marvelous! A good friend of mine is very fortunate to have an e-type racing tomorrow, no 221 in the e-type challenge. Has qualified on 3rd position on the grid so I plan on watching online and cheering it on. His car came first - some superb driving by Ben Mitchell in a very wet race!

Somewhere in Perthshire.

After 11 years off the road and at least 3 years of restoration, my 30 year old is back on the road having passed its MOT this morning. Cosmetic bits to finish on the interior, suspension set up etc but it moves! Thanks to all the tips and guidance from this forum and members which has been invaluable.

Reluctant Sale of My Westfield Mega S2000, 2013 Registered, 16,600 Miles I have owned the car for 3 and a bit years, and it has covered 13,500 miles with me! I gave it a full service when I had the car included Gearbox and diff oil changes. In my ownership it has always had what it has needed. The car has seen me through a couple of tours my favorite being the NC500, it is well known in the WSCC peak district and Warwickshire areas, It’s also seen me through a couple of track days, where it shows it’s true colours. The donor engine had 56000 miles on it but I have no written proof, I was able to track the builder through the very helpful WSCC forum and was able to find a lot of useful information about its history.
