Hi all, New half hood finally arrived and fitted! Quick test drive this afternoon and all seems fine! Wouldn’t want to be much taller though!😄 Even stayed put for a short Wharrrp…😎

Meet at Marks and Spencer Foodhall, Ashbourne, DE6 1DG at 10am on Sunday 12th December. If the weather is forecast wet then I will move this on a week to the 19th December, so please check before travelling. THIS IS ON FOR 12TH DECEMBER I have attached a photo of the last Santa Run in 2019 to whet your appetite. Dress you and your car in any kind of Christmassy attire and get ready to do lots of laughing and waving as we travel through the villages of the Peak District. Is anyone brave enough and daft enough to join us?

I’m my defence it was sunny at lunchtime so a quick wash and off I went … had a great blast up to Grantown , fuelled up and then went up the back roads to Loch Garten then up Cairngorm . A tad “fresh” with a dust of snow on the tops, had a cuppa and a wee wander then thought about home for supper. Now Gary’s brain hadn’t computed ( or cared ) about the early onset of darkness!!! so it was home by candlelight lol, in fairness the led lights are spot on and the cool air let Tommy breathe easily and well 😁

first one was a fabia vrs mk1 and added lots of mods . second (still have it ) is a mini roadster jcw which needs more mods . my next crisis is going to be a westy but as im getting a bit fat and unfit im looking at a sport 250 factory built . anyway as an fng .... erm i mean noob thanks for having me . PS dont worry im not selling the mini but the kia niro hybrid ;-(

If it’s the 12th I’m 90% sure I’m in!

Oh yes, please. A few more pics of encouragement from me:

I've just turned 60 and I'm on my fifth mid-life crisis (or I'm still having my first after almost 20 years...) Bought a Ferrari F355 in 2002 - REALLY couldn't afford it, but had a great couple of years with it Bought a Buell X1 Lightning in 2004 (barmy Harley-engined V-twin streetfighter bike- truly mad). Sold after about three years of realising that biking solo is a bit boring. Bought a Fiat Coupe in 2010 to replace the previous one that went rusty. Over 11 years I took it from 220bhp (already fairly quick) to 488bhp - utterly ballistic - proper turbo-nutter car, but with way more style than the usual Jap fodder. Bought my Westfield in 2018 as a four-wheeled replacement for the bike - restored my enthusiasm for tinkering Sold the Fiat a couple of months ago and bought an Aston Martin V8 Vantage last month SWMBO has given up tutting now..... 😉 So, OP - welcome to the mid-life crisis corner of WSCC - you're in great company!

Be aware of the actual deal - as in, make sure you don't buy the 'with ads.' if you don't want that "feature"! Had a Kindle since they launched them. Started with the big screen one. The 'Touch' was a disaster, but the Paperwhite is brilliant.

Will be there as long as the booster jab, or weather doesn’t stop us.

* Maverick has been sold subject to payment & collection *

Welcome ! Hopefully some of our more sedentary members might understand Newbie’s vs “Noobs” (forgive me - its a bit of a recent “in joke” 😁 )

Sorry can't make this one . Hope the weather holds for you all.
