Almost missed the big day…thankfully Vickie is on the ball and had a bottle of bubbly chilling…. 30 years since I built the Westy.

Sorry didn’t see you post earlier. Was having my afternoon siesta. I have the standard Westfield harness which means that every time I get in I have to tighten the straps as some fat sod has clearly been in my car and sat in my seat!

First time in the Deathfield

Thought I’d show you a photo of what I’m eating right now …. See you on Sunday for your lettuce and tomato. 😀😀

In other small jobs I’ve been trying up spacers for the shocks on the lathe, 8 done and another 8 to go.

@AndrewBClarkedo you have to adjust your harnesses on a weekly basis 😉 I bet you have to have an afternoon nap to sleep it all off as well !!! Take it easy I’ll bring you some Rennies on Sunday to help with the indigestion 😘

Today’s menu - Full English for breakfast, only two eggs so peckish by 11 and needed moist apple cake with cappuccino, light lunch of carrot and coriander soup with crusty bread followed by almond slice in Greek yogurt, mid afternoon no doubt hungry again so probably a double chocolate mini roll and a couple of suggestives, dinner tonight already in AGA so pleased to report it is a Lancashire Hot Pot which will be served with petit pois. Apple strudel and ice cream for afters. All normal stuff really. You can see why I work from home.

No cake for me today 😞 though just had a great mix grill at the Dog and Doublet in Sardon on the way back from indoor karting at Warrington with some of the lads from work. Have good blast around the Peaks and eat my share of the cake if you can manage it of course 😉 See you at the museum on the 24th.

Watched this which was brilliant! "Weber DCOE, Part 2B Selecting jets and venturi's - YouTube" There are other parts, good watch. I'm based in Glossop. Not picked up the car yet as I'm nearly finished with my carport. Just getting all my ducks in a row 🙂

It’s 11 o’clock !!! So what you having for lunch ? Must remember to get in front of you on Sunday because the way your eating they’ll be nothing left 🤣

Nope welcome to Lego Anonymous a sub group of WSCC

Not a problem. We did the Alps in biblical rain - cars never suffered from any water-related ailments over the 1500 miles or more that we did. And I mean Biblical rain! As you can see - all are aeroscreen and even a MegaBusa in the mix. but did I mention the biblical rain?

Yorkshire Breakfast meeting this Sunday, 17th, at the Motorist, New Lennerton Lane, Sherburn in Elmet, LS25 6JE. Should be lots of different cars there and the Jaguar Enthusiasts club are there too. I'll be there from around 10 am.

Getting through the jobs slowly. New wiring loom made and loosely assembled then once I was happy with the routing everything was bound in loom tape. the spare tails are for the rain light switch and an oil pressure light if I decide to fit one.

Carbs were like one of the dark arts to me! 😂 Glossop! Hopefully we'll get to see you on one of the regular Peaks meets when you have it running then 👍

Hi I've got one for sale if you still need one

@AndrewBClarkeyou won’t be able to eat any cake after you’ve eaten all your salad !!!

Thanks for all the interest - the car sold on the first day.

(Only club (paid) members can upload photos directly to the Forum; this is because we own our own server and hard-drive space, so part of the membership fee covers the costs involved.) It's one of the many benefits, including enough discounts from various sponsors and suppliers to more than cover the actual membership cost!

I'm happy to move you from Stoke-on-Trent to the museum and back if you don't get a more local offer?

Must be a premium feature as its not there. Ill look at membership, might have a URL i can sort tho in the meantime.

My dream is to do a trip like this one day in mine too

A picture is worth 1000 words. dave

Back in the workshop again. Love it

Cracking run out today. We met at the Tudor Rose, and after a brief chat, headed for the Ponderosa for breakfast. We then decided on heading west on the A5, turning off at Capel Curig towards Beddgelert. Headed for Maentrwog, we eventually joined the B4391 east towards Bala, turning off to join the B4501 up to Cerrigydrudion where we'd take to forest road to Ruthin. I like this time of year in the Westie, still warm enough if you wrap up, lovely Autumnul views and the roads are that bit quieter. Thanks everyone for coming.
