It’s my birthday today and I am now the proud owner of 2 Westfields…..🤣

Aside from tinkering with the Westfield and driving @Lionel round in circles, I play Bluegrass Banjo badly. Got this yesterday and I’m very pleased with it. How about you?

Lovely cake and happy birthday . 🥳 🎂I had something similar for my 40th . I think I still have it 3 years on. I can’t bring myself to get rid of it 😃

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary - thanks! I don’t suppose you could give me any ideas why the brakes are so spongey?!

@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO - thanks, I don’t suppose you have any wishbones which would fit this one? It only has upper wishbones and there’s a strut missing on each side….

RIP Gary and well done to Robin and the Yorkshire area

So sorry to hear this, so glad an event was organised for him and that he had all his friends attend. I didn’t know Gary, but any one into cars is a friend of mine. RIP Gary.

Rest in peace Gary

A big thank you to everyone who came along this morning. I know Gary, and his wife Ann were moved by everyone from the Westfield, Cobra and mini clubs being there and really appreciated it. The Motorist sectioned off part of the car park and 2 tables for us in the cafe.

A quick charge about in the sun yesterday followed by a bit of fettling!

Aside from tinkering with the Westfield and building campers, my wee hobby keeps me in pocket money - I build and sell electric 2,3 and 4-string cigar-box guitars, in hardwood rather than repurposing cigar boxes. 'Sawdust is man glitter'!

I'm sorry to say that Gary passed away last night. Our thoughts from the Yorkshire area go to Ann, Rebecca and Josh. He will be sadly missed.
