This was the view we got!

As always, an excellent event. Many thanks to all those who did the great prep, organising and hosting. Thanks also to all the members new and old that turn up and make the WSCC pitch, the place to be. Great to catch up with old friends, meet new ones and meet virtual members face to face @Yorkshire_Pudding @Geezergs @Hadz @RJRWesty @IainCameron for the first time. I still can't believe @Ali Jones - Retentions Officer sold me some brand new carbon cycle wings for a tenner! Thanks @Paul Aspden (MoFast) for such a generous donation to a great charity. Let's do it all again!

With @marcusb.

...well, I actually joined almost a year ago but since then have been looking for my first Westfield. A couple of days ago I bought a nice 2004 Seight, so I guess I have now really joined. Absolutely fantastic car. At the weekend my son and I took it from the south coast to Santa Pod and back (260 mile round trip) and it was flawless. Absolutely love it!

My car is in there somewhere 😂 Great weekend, huge thanks to the organising team for making it such a great event! Apart from a touch of self inflicted "beer flu" Monday morning it was an amazing couple of days 👍

Westfield avenue 2022 sorry about the vid I'm still learning

I shall start it off 😁 @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO @Gail Jones - Shows & Events Coordinator@shrops-paul@Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO

Thanks again for all the thoughts and advice received regarding my grubby white Westfield. It was great to be aloud to display it up on the trailer in the marquee. (Not sure how to post a picture 🤔)

Agreed. Coming from someone who has first hand knowledge of Stoneleigh, well done to the organising team and all the helpers. Here's to next year.👍

"So Bagpuss, how big exactly was Hedleys ( @HB46443 ) sleeping bag?" "It was about this high!"

So who do I see about some carbon wheel arches?

Caption Competition time:

Thank you to everyone involved in setting up the Westfield stand ... it was fantastic and the whole family loved today's visit. Special thanks to @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO & @marcusb for letting my kids sit in the cars ... you made their day and it was all I heard about the whole way back home.

Ha, I've learnt not to make eye contact with anyone who looks official 😄

😁😀 no idea on how to use the camera but totally agree with the above, I can help with that😄

Now that’s looking much better! I hope the for sale add is going or gone. Try spacing out your view point changes a bit. The further apart they are the slower it will rotate when changing views. If you want it to turn a specific way stick a view point out to the left or right between the forward and rear views. You can also use the tracking feature to lock onto the rear car a few seconds after the last forward view and it should rotate itself smoothly round for the beginning of the track. I think you need to do a lot of practice drives just to keep testing.

Well done! Looks like you've cracked it! @Si.Dalziel

Welcome, you should have popped into Stoneleigh as we'd have been pleased to meet you and see your new car. Glad you're enjoying driving it.

Big enough then!

"No, Emily loves me, I tell you!" "You're definitely loose at the seams, mate"

Thanks John, fitted at Stoneleigh, Monday morning.

“Hello, I’m Bagpuss and they’ve given me an orange hi-vis vest so I can stand out and be seen!” ”Yes - and for some reason, I was still unable to avoid you.”

Didn’t I see this in the cinema once? Oh yeah… The Usual Suspects

Ran off the stale fuel from 2021 and filled up with V Power Run from Chester to the Ponderosa for coffee. Tyres were awful so listened to Chris Broster and Kev Teare New Rubber on the way Next Sunday will re run. Love the car. Loads of Pandemic work done. Finishing Touches.

Having survived a visit to Stoneleigh with the best/maddest club, you've now got compelling reasons to join, which will then enable you to post pics. How did @Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary fail to snare you, whilst there?

@Trevor Little (Trevturtle) - AO Representative this is the flag stock check😁

Your only Trial Member, so have limited rights. Full membership will sort that 👍

Just testing something Part of the run out

Welcome !!!

Baz "Do you need some blue pills for your alps trip"? Bagpuss "Loads, please. @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman is now Chairman and hence very impotent 😉 "

Myself and Graeme will join in this one 👍

Insured with @A-Plan Insurance THATCHAM this morning. At £104 for the Megablade I can't complain. Dealt with Gareth on the phone, thanks.

Dave, Looks like you overpaid by £20. Let me have your address or bank details. John.

As always, best organised and best looking club stand at the show. Well done, and thank you one and all.

Funny was only thinking the other day how this was going. Sorry to hear your not progressing it, if someone takes this on for a westy then you really won't be disappointed, brilliant engine choice for a 7 type. Have you advertised on any mx5 sites for any potential rocketeer builders?

This is the fastest @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO car has been driven to date 😁

Great bank holiday weekend in sunny Kent

Thanks Nic, it’s taken much longer than I’d planned to get to this stage but this is bigger than any restoration I’ve taken on before now. I couldn’t have got to where I am now without the help of JMW motorsports who are just up the road from home and have been increasingly helpful both with the loan of their workshop space last year for the fabrication and their contacts in the motorsport community to do the jobs that I don’t have the skills for. They put me in contact with Richard who did the roll bar and chassis repairs and Andy for the engine work. Richard spends the majority of his time making repairs the BTCC and GT grids whilst Andy works for a current BTCC driver and ex LeMans GT Winner. I certainly couldn’t have found this level of talent alone.

I’m keen to pop over for this. As others have mentioned, weather dependant.

Well done everyone for making this photo shoot possible.

A day out with my daughter today as I left at 7.30am and picked sammy up then we headed westwards to Achnasheen and the midge bite cafe for brekkie, then on to Kinlochewe ( fuel) then it was south via Sheidigh to Applecross and over the pass to Loch Carron , no fuel here !!! The petrol station not open and the 24hr pump nae working so a wee detour to Kyle of Lochalsh and back to Eilean Donan castle for food then back to Inverness and home at 7.15 😅 305 miles of fun Here’s a few pics hope you enjoy

My new-to-me SE seconds before the slicks came off and the Proxes went on. Needed something to help me keep my sanity while my Mini comes together s-l-o-w-l-y 😆

Just tickling around with routes and looking at the good weather I think we might do the 'Square Route of Buxton' and finish at Blaze Ice Cream Farm. Tip - have a small tea in McD's

Hope this works, not very tech minded.

I have decided not to continue with the AJ30 engine swap so its for sale. What I have is and what it cost me so far:- AJ 30 3.0 engine from a 2002 S type jag with 90k on the clock (No documentation to prove this) The engine has had covers and sump removed and all looks good inside. Bearing end caps removed and again all good. Compression test performed, albeit on a cold engine and all six cylinders were the same. Test can be performed again with the potential buyer if required Cost me £600.00 Rocketeer parts:- Sump with baffles and modified pick up - £576.00 Water pump bracket £18.00 Engine to gearbox adapter plate £462.00 Flywheel £510.00 Oil spigot adapter £24.00 Other items Oil filter £9.00 Spark plugs £30.00 ST200 throttle body purchased and then machined from 60mm to 65mm £230.00 Alternator adjuster and belt £40.00 Davis craig 115 pump with controller and hose £125.00 ST220 lower manifold - £50.00 New starter motor £62 Denso type alternator £75.00 ST200 manifold extensively modified £150.00 Exhaust manifolds For ST200 not ideal but a good starting point £187.00 This has all cost £3148.00 plus gaskets, paint and other consumables so I am probably £3300.00 into this project. So what I would like is £2200.00 Which is basically the rocketeer parts and the engine and all the other goodies and labour are being thrown in. I may split depending on the offer. This project needs to finish:- Wiring, Emerald make an ecu with loom to wire you own or they will make one for you. Engine mounts need fabricating but the plates have been fitted to the engine. Finish off the exhaust weather you want single or twin exit. There are a few of these conversions done now and there is lots of expertise on this forum to assist.
