Dads Westy sporting its new Mini lites

We checked Lionels oil at about 330 it needed a litre or so, stuck some of the dregs of 5w30 in and it needed another half a litre so Grabbed the other bottle (10w40) and Simon glugged some in. we both commented how it looked a bit thin. I decided to double check the oil - it was used deep fat fryer oil complete with chip bits that I’d not labelled properly. Decided to call it end of day and not start the car!

made another this arvo will play around with colors tomorrow it much crisper than the photo shows alloy rivets/coach bolts had to put them in the fire to burn the coating off and some 9mm bullet casings chris

A couple of images from The Classic at Prescott last weekend

Great run up A84, Glencoe and a lap of Loch Leven before heading home. The road round Loch Leven is tremendous if you ever get the chance.

Still need to dig the car out from Camper Conversion Land

Looking at the entry list, if it was blue, then it could be the Morgan/Amy Jenkins driven Pilbeam MP97. The chassis isn't F1 derived, its a hillclimb special, Pilbeam were the best you could get in British Hillclimb from the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s. And the 16v head swap is fairly common in the modified hillclimb mini world, uses a BMW K1000 head. They used to do this so they can retain the original A-Series block, allowing them to run in the modified production classes, instead of having to go into a more 'unlimited' class. However I think it has been changed in the blue book so the head and block have to be original to the production vehicle.

I recognise that spot. Shots taken from my sons drone…

Snapshot from video out and about today. Ignore the date error I just need to redo the settings. I'm going to try another position with the camera next time as the mirror blocks the view of the road ahead.

They’ll be et19

If I said yes, would you believe me? 🙂

I don’t. I just googled it and it says it should be stamped on it… I will have a look when I pop up Dads

🤣🤣🤣

I’ve done that - I know James won’t mind me tinkering 😁👍

When a midlife crisis starts to unravel.

You should have run it.. it would have smelt better than Castol R 🙂

You're a *****in star!! And didn't even offer me some chips that you had cooked in the oil!

made a mate a bit of a mancave art he is a bit of a coffee nut

Great to see everyone last night! The weather was great so a good turn out of 10 Westfields even though it was dark by 8pm.

That’s just one sermon, isn’t it?

Best mod ive done to the car. I skimped though and didn't buy the bag or poles. I then bought a bag and now want to buy the poles. Don't skimp just buy it all at once lol

194 miles for me @Paul Hurdsfield. Some really good roads travelled and the pain of the M6 home. Even got to see some lesser cars cars at our cafe stop. Will hopefully get some decent stills off of the camera later when I can go through it.
