WOW WOW what on earth did I start. I am will always be proud of all old and new members. You may not know that I am seriously ill in hospital (terminal) and want to make the most of everything.I’ve had the most fantastic life being my own boss since 1965. Done all things I wanted to do from early days Curborough to Monaco in a GP car. Anything I can help with just shout cheers chris

Thanks Chris, such sad news; but what an amazing legacy you’ve given us. The friends that have been made thanks to you passion and vision for the cars you created, and the places that we’ve been, and experiences we’ve enjoyed as a result will long continue.

I'm so sorry to read this @Chris Smith but so great to hear you've got such a positive reflection on your life to date. We're all very grateful for the amazing cars you created for us and you'll always be cherished and remembered.

No help, just many congratulations for all the joy you have given to owners of your wonderful cars.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Its been a strange year and there has been some great close competition all year. Some incredible times have been posted and the series has some of the quickest drivers around. Hope to see some of you at the final rounds in Anglesey this coming weekend

not very exciting, but it is current state and progress being made. 123ignition fitted, now waiting for the AFR lol when the fuel needy stop going to the petrol stations in a panic i will top her up and test the new ignition, all i know so far is; it starts and revs and sounds smoother somehow.

It's should be 'a piece of cake' to identify this member! 😉

Recently been designing inlet manifolds…

That’s ingenious!

I have only owned my Westfieldfor a handful of weeks and I thought it was time to share some photos of my pride and joy. It is an SE FW on a 21 plate powered by a Blacktop Zetec 2.0l engine and fuelled by an Omex 600 ECU and Omex throttlebodies. 8" wheels at the back help get the power down nad 7" ones up front keep it looking trim and nimble. I don't have the available time to have built it myself (much as I would have liked to) so I acquired it from Toybox - hats off to Andy and Dale for help, advice and service. I do plan to maintain/ service it and upgrade/ adjust/ fettle it myself although the only work I've done on it so far is replacing a couple of fuses and pop-riveting the presstud bases for the door straps! Having joined WSCC the next step is to get involved with the North Staffs and East Cheshire WSCC group as we live a few miles outside Nantwich in the fields of the Cheshire Plain. If anyone from my neck of the woods happens across this topic, please do say hello!

Just spotted this on bbc app…

@Chris Smith My two boys Tom, Leo and my Dad spent the whole of last year building the Westfield that now takes pride of place in the workshop and without your initial vision and legacy we might never have done so. The boys now have a greater depth of mechanics and my Dad and I are closer than ever. Thank you

East Midlands today 29 9 2021

@Chris Smith I’ll add my sincere and heartfelt thanks as well. We’ve had our car 30 years now and never once considered selling it. It’s given us 30 years of joy & fun. Thank you Chris & family.

I was there with some mates, 4 of us plus 2 tents and all our gear in a mini. I remember a German registered Moke pulling into the disco in the museum with a louder sound system than the DJ. We were part of the mini carrying event, carrying a bodyshell around a course. I have a VHS of the weekend somewhere.

Yep.. at the 25th anniversary of the mini! Car was on the mini cooper club stand and then in the Happy Birthday made by parking the minis for aerial photo.. Car was the business engine bored out to 1310cc, twin inch and a half SUs ported head and I think around 110bhp! Also had special 13" wheels made by revolution to take the Pirrelli P7 tyres!

I think we need to ask you the same, though It's nearly SORN O'clock for you!

What’s @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO been upto MrK!

It’s a real privilege to chat to the man responsible for the Westfield. I absolutely love the history of the seven British sports car and am proud to have now built one of my own. I look forward to many fun years in it, thankyou@Chris Smith

The weather has been manky (northern expression) today so I've been having a sort out on my pc and I found this. It's not a new photo, it's not even my car but...... @Blatman

Last Friday's Fish & Chips run since it was a nice night

Well done Terry!!! Finally you've managed to win the championship after being a serious contender for many seasons.

There’s room for improvement, though.

Oh I do like that!! 🤦‍♂️ another item on my bucket list!

Catching up on the last couple of weeks work. the extra stainless steel arrived so I was able to make the last of the fuel tank straps. I've also got most of the pedal box in and the brake lines plumbed in but I’m just waiting for a bias valve to fit the the rear circuit. the two missing gauges have now also been fitted to the new dash.
