Went all over this afternoon, then remember just outside Reeth to take a pic, i was having too much fun😁

Sorry, late to the party, work getting in the way yesterday! As Quinten said, it’s actually opened up a good discussion “back of house”, which is still going. All the admins, ie the committee are technically moderators, automatically, though whether they want to actively take part day to day in moderation is purely an individual choice. Like Quinten said, weave then periodically asked for volunteers to assist with moderation. You will see in their info panel, around their avatars it will typically say “moderator”. As Quinten commented, any member in good standing can request to me a mod. One of the things that was being talked about, back stage, is that from our request for volunteers a few years ago, we have a small number that are now not very active, or have even left, who we need to take off the list, I suspect. Speaking purely off the top of my head, I suspect one or two fresh mods would be handy. Note, to be a moderator, you don’t necessarily need to be camped on the forum every hour of the day. Most actual decisions* are made by a group of mods, so your input at that point, once a report has been received is also most useful. *we do have, laid out in the forum rules/guidelines some instances where a response, typically hiding it, needs to be made immediately that the first admin/mod comes across it, prior to any discussion taking place. There are also instances of spamming the forum so blatant, that again unilateral action may be taken by the first admin/mod that finds it. (Block and ban the spammer, remove the spam). Obviously, we’ll keep everyone updated with the conversation amongst the current team.

Daft as a box of frogs ? Left just after 1 pm in lovely sun and home just after 8pm in the pitch dark!! 220 miles for fish n chips at ullapool and stopped to help a lotus Elise who’d broken down, I left when the breakdown arrived, hope he got home okay Not to much traffic north of Inverness and on the way home. Cleared my mind and put a smile on my face

Couldn’t help myself - a surprise to you all, I’m sure. 😎

Well, if you will mix with the local ladies…!

Must resist fresh dose of crabs jokes......

We used to go to a 'holiday camp' near Flamborough Head, parked up by the entrance, charged a couple of quid for the air ambulance for a sit in the Westfield of your choice and had a whale of a time!! Came home with a couple of fresh crabs too.

Post covid ride out not far but great all the same ☀️

Good Afternoon All, After 3 years and 4 months at Westfield Sportscars I have decided it is time for a change. I'm here for one more month. Thank you all members and customers who I have had interactions with during my time here. It has been a pleasure. Regards Patrick

Burns Stainless silencer, brand new. Quality made in USA, not cheap rubbish. These are lightweight and repackable, manufactured by a well respected exhaust manufacturer in America, full details can be found here: https://burnsstainless.com/products/1-stage-race-muffler?variant=8762244038747 It has 3” inlet and outlet, 6.25” diameter and 17” long. Weighs just 2.5kg. I bought a few for different projects, but this one is no longer needed. It’s brand new, only removed from packaging for pics. Second pic is the same fitted to my own kitcar, on which I’ve added a 90deg exit. Cost new is approx £500 inc shipping and Vat / import taxes. Asking £350 Can be shipped in uk for £10, or collected from Ledbury Herefordshire.

I've not shown any models for a while, so here's what I've been up to since building the Beach Buggy. Another Westfield, VW-PORSCHE Kombi, Ford Transit Supervan, Transit body and Lotus F1 engine and running gear, Maserati Indy and a Jaguar 420 that's nearly finished.

Sold

Andy ……thats a basic novice mistake but with more practice this can be avoided🤣

It's not, in fact, it's opened up a good discussion amongst us. No-one selects moderators. Moderators are volunteers, just like AOs. Any member in good standing can ask to be considered becoming a moderator, although obviously we do not need hundreds of them either. We normally would request for volunteers if we think we could use a few more moderators. That's not to say we would turn volunteers away, but there may just be no demand for more moderators. If you have a concern about a moderator, then please feel free to send me or any other of the committee a message with your concerns. We will listen!

Hopefully have an update in the next couple of days to register for this day, we have been working on it in the background but a few covid cases slowed the pace in the last week. I will post here when the day goes live to book. thanks Simon

Mad but not that mad. Going south on Saturday and home again on Sunday in time to watch the F1 😉. Was meant to be ‘sharing the burden’ with big bro but he has managed to bail. I’ll get my own back on him in due course…..

two more passes each evening for the next few nights as well

We are now live to be able to book Friday 8th July Blyton park You can book via the store on the forum Full track day £130 Second drivers £25 passengers £10 Add each element to to the basket if you need to add second drivers and passengers before checking out. https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/store/category/8-wscc-track-days/ Hope to see many of you there. If we have space available towards the end of May this will then be opened up to other drivers attending the sprint weekend. Thanks

I think we need an annual Gary Taylor award..... For the most westfield miles in pursuit of fish and chips. 😂

Think i posted this in totally the wrong section this could be why i didnt get any reply. Who selects the moderator staff ? Of course I totally understand its a thankless tasks and there are of course people that do a sterling job in maintaining the smooth running of the forum the webmaster and ACW do an outstanding job these are just too name a couple but there are also a couple that i can see that dont contribute that often and don't login that often either. So who selects them and what is the selection criteria? Also is there a point intime that comes when they haven't been active for one reason or another they may have sold their westfield or just lost interest that their moderator's status is removed ?

probably @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO in his megaS2000 going that fast his front number plate is in danger of falling off 😆

I'm a little jealous of all these apparently empty hill roads! I've got not much other than A roads round here.

You must have totally different sense of humour too me . Thank you too webmaster ,Acw and Mr Eastwood for the constructive and informative comments thank you gents .

Moderated.

Have a great day @Deano85🎂🍺

Many Happy Returns Dean! Have a great Birthday.

I had a couple of holidays like that as well.. back in my youth 😟

@Rory's Dad - great idea! Come back from a Show better off than when I arrived? Unheard of! 👍

@ianali - great thanks, that’s reassuring! D

done mine hopefully thae car will be ready

Attended our first Stoneleigh show last year. Was pleasantly surprised at how well organised it was. As soon as you get there you will immediately realise your car is very safe there.

Could I ask that members who are going to enter our Blyton sprints do so as early as they can. Other clubs events have filled up fast and so I am surprised that at the moment only a few entries have been received. It would be good if Ron Siddle and I could sleep easy knowing that we have good support Thanks

Just charge them a fiver!!

I don't think my sprinting career is going to take off this year! My wife had booked a holiday for the week of the Blyton Weekend 😔 Im also double booked for Stoneleigh as well this year, need to see how that one pans out.

All the best for the future pat 👍

As said above, great improvement and excellent service. Just this Tuesday you helped me no-end identify and supply those little bits that I needed at short notice. Cheers and best wishes going forward. Hope you can make it to Stoneleigh (as a punter...) and we can have a beer?

Thanks for your help and good luck in the future. You bought a breath of fresh air to the parts department you will be sorely missed.

Had to try one for size😁 Very nice wheels,now supplied with alloy spigot rings rather than the nasty plastic ones TD used to supply!
