I am on holiday in North Norfolk, so today I met up with former Yorkshire AO Martin Van Zeller who moved here five years ago. Martin has back trouble so the Westfield had to go to be replaced like so many others with an MX5 😀 BUT Martin being Martin the 1.6ltr engine had to go, to be replaced with a 3.0ltr V6 Jaguar engine producing 270 BHP well done Martin and great to see you.

Hello! This is my first post, long time lurker! I bought my first Westfield on Monday. An SEIW super sport from MatV on this forum. I've really fallen for the car, I'm using it to commute to work this week! 80miles a day. Looking forward to posting more on the forum. It's a great car can't wait to put my stamp on it. I'm in Maidstone Kent, I looked for an area meet but only saw the joint Essex/North Kent one? Alex

I’m a collector of newspaper headlines that managed to slip past the editor’s desk, so I thought I’d share a few, one at a time. Hope they make you laugh as much as they did me. Let’s start: or even after a 20th birthday, in my experience.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOINT PEAK DISTRICT AO Hope you get all your DIY finished and then we can actually see you in the flesh, not too much flesh though the shorts are enough😄 Have a great day XXXXXX

I think I might know…

Form an orderly queue.

Happy Birthday Bagpuss

Happy Birthday Ian. Have a great day Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat,

It was my turn to cook on the weekend, so it was a Westie-themed pie! To be precise it was a bacon’n’egg pie, which is very popular back home in NZ. Any caring mother teaches their sons this pie before kicking them out the nest – it’s a great batchelor’ meal, have it hot out the oven with spuds and veg/salad, and have the leftover pie cold for lunch the next day. Here's the recipe, if anyone wants to give it a go. Kiwi bacon and egg pie.doc

Hey all, Never having done Loton (not brave enough), I can't comment on how good the times are, only how talented you guys are So below are the brave scores on the doors. Loton Results - Sat Loton Results - Sun Tiggs

@Tim Reid (TimDave25) - Joint Thames Valley AO did it I think? Skinned a bare fibre glass crash pad. Don't think it was easy.

Well, that clears that up.

Brilliant car! Thanks Mat! 😀 👌
