Oscar and I really enjoyed today. Thank you @AndrewBClarke for being todays tour guide, sorry to leave the party early. Oscar and I went to Tagg Lane Dairy for a ice cream en-route home. Great meeting everyone Andy

I should be posting similar images of stunning countryside, instead I have to post this - just waiting for some parts and look out North Wales !!!! some recent broken bits !!

Hi Brad, I met you (and everyone else there) briefly on Saturday morning at the start of the day. I was Stephen's navigator. This was a first for me, as my nav skills probably demonstrated 🤪. I had a great day and a lot of laughs, especially at the doubling back parts. I just wanted to day a huge thank you for what has been the best day out I've had in a very long time. Truly appreciate all the effort you put into this.👍 Cheers, Craig

It just goes to show you can't beat a bit of paper and a good memory, beats silly sat navs any day. Glad you all had a good run out and we thought about you all day, we even had cake for breakfast at Brantwood on Coniston Water. Sorry to miss our new people, @Steve Bosworth and Vicky and hope to see you next time. @neptune hope your car is easily fixable? Normal service will resume next Sunday. Lots of love from Glen and Julie, holiday extraordinaire's

A little picture of a group we had out today taken 380m above sea level at the highest pub in Derbyshire, weather was stunning!

Carbon rear arches These are zk style and standard width Again like all my products these a made from high quality Prepreg carbon and are baked at 120°c making them strong light and really high quality These are £900 (pair) price plus postage and packing Rear light housing NOT included!

I'm back again. This was for sale back in June but i had a change of heart and kept the car. Well yesterday i put a deposit on a more track focused kit car ( going to dark side with an MNR Vortx....sorry )and as much as i would love to keep this for the road i just don't have the room. It is a 1999 SEIW car on a V plate and it's fair to say it is in amazing condition for it's year. I looked at a view before buying this one It's running a Vauxhall 2 litre engine with a Garrett turbo. Custom built plenum , high capacity ducted radiator, blue Samco hoses, oil catch tank , facet fuel pump with swirl pot and pressure regulator , custom headers heat wrapped and DTA ecu.All engine sensors replaced 18 mths ago. Battery is fitted in the boot. Gearbox is a 5 speed Ford type 9 with a SDC performance clutch and a 3.28 limited slip diff Interior is all in blue with very comfortable Westfield sports seat on adjustable runners ( i'm 6ft 2 and could fit in it all ok ). Quick release steering wheel , USB and power plug point , passenger footrest.New just fitted Luke seat harnesses Wide track front with adjustable shocks all round. Front and rear anti roll bars Team dynamic 15 inch wheels running 205 front and 225 rear Toyo R888 tyres ( rears have only done 500 miles ).Hi spec 4 pot front calipers and braided brake lines all round on vented brake discs. Bodywork is in gleaming yellow and is in very good condition. V8 style bonnet. It comes with side doors , Soft bits roof with it's own bag and a full weather roof too, all in blue to match the interior. Carbon effect rear arch stone guards. RAC roll bar with new rose joints. Just fitted new NV carbon performance front muduards, rear boot cover and rear diffuser. Lights are LED front and clear rear lights with LED fog and reversing lights. Front indictors are mini motorbike LED ones. In May i took the car to BHPerformance . It started off at 210bhp and by the end of some mapping made 245 bhp with 231 ft/lb of torque. The car was still making power but the injectors were maxed out so with some VXR injectors and then advancing the ignition i was told there is more to come. To be honest it's quick enough as it is and it pulls like a train. I had the car serviced with oil and filter, new spark plugs in April and it has MOT till 21/04/2023. The mileage is now 17800 ( ish ). It went in for a coolant change a few weeks ago at the start of August and at that time it was noticed that a seal had gone on one of the drive shafts and was just starting to leak a very small amount. I could have just ignored it and sold the car but i want it doing as i want to sell it how i would expect to buy it. It's currently sat at Classics sports cars in Stourport waiting on the seal to be changed, they are very busy there so hoping to have it back towards the end August I've got loads of old MOT'S and folder full of invoices and the yellow front mudguards. I'm based in Walsall, West Mids. £13000

Great video Jamie, very professional, and glad you took most of the shots before we all drove through the molasses (or whatever it was)!

It’s my favourite build so far, really enjoyed it.

I do like the gear lever mechanism shown at circa 15 mins run time and sincerely hope @Paul Aspden (MoFast) hasn't seen the cupholder!

My 60th birthday prezzies from daughter. You’ve reminded me I also got the green Lotus might start that tonight 😀😀

Available and contactable via Mofast and their on-line shop.

Hi Guys What a fantastic day and a huge well done to Brad and Diane for all the hard work involved in pulling all this together. Cant wait for next year and was so close to the end. Hopefully I’ll get to finish next time. (Think I’ve ran out of excuses now lol ) Yeah what was that gloop stuck to the cars .. lol Definitely picked the right day, went back up to Biggar the next day to visit the car show and spent 1hr in traffic on the high street with the stress of the westie overheating 🥵.. not nice at all !! Anyway I’d mentioned about making a video and posting it on here. It’s currently getting uploaded so watch this space and I’ll share the link asap 😁😁. Thanks again everyone for a great day !!

I am able to source the stud and a bunch of other Westfield items from Jason and Chris at A&DB Autoparts.

Should be able to get studding from any decent nut and bolt supplier.

Just got this kit😄

Thanks to everyone who joined the run this year, especially Brian and Dave'n'Jen who've made it 3 for 3. The weather was great, though maybe a little too hot and no wind (back of my neck is a bit scorched), the roads were near empty, and a lovely evening at the hotel with some bevvies and banter. The only thing missing was a few more cars to make the day even more fun. And a nod to Brian who was the only one to not miss a beat yesterday (no lost, no cheat, no emergency envelope open), while man-handling his V8 brutus, and solo to boot! Cheers, Brad and Diane

Once again, a good days route challenge from Brad and Diane over a rural area of the borders, with surprisingly little traffic. All the hours (days) of preparation and professional route cards were much appreciated. Well done to Brian, who showed us all how navigate properly, despite being solo in the V8! Dave and Jen

What a day!! Firstly let’s deal with the weather. It was blinking hot. Left home at 7.30am wearing shirt sleeves and shorts with no jumper. Just about ok. By the time we arrived at Matlock, shirt sleeves were getting a bit much. It only got hotter from there. Mad Dog Pete was living up to his nickname and dressing for -5 instead of the +30 and trying to look miserable when a camera is produced. At Matlock McD, we were joined by Dave Eastwood, Andy Dowler with Co pilot Oscar, Andy Westwood with Sue, Martin, Ian Kinder and Steve Bosworth with Co pilot Vicky (hopefully got that right as hopeless with names!) Ian left as he had family commitments and Martin didn’t come with us on the trip as his car needed attention and he had come in his tin top. Andy and Becky were going to come but poor Andy was not feeling good - I have commiserated and sent him a photo of our cake to cheer him up!! So a convoy of 5 with no red ones for a change (they were probably all together at Curbrough) left Matlock and we made our way via the smaller roads to Edale and The Rambler Inn. It is tradition to park prettily for photos but Andy Westwood didn’t so his car didn’t make the cut. 😁 I don’t know how Andy Westwood consumes so much. Look at the size of his dinner! This is just the first course and he also ‘helped’ with Sue’s. After dinner Andy Dowler left and the remaining partly cooked nutters moved on again via the small roads to The Stone Centre in Wirksworth where cakes were consumed. I’m certainly not in the running to take over from our esteemed leader @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and there was quite a lot of luck involved such as the prime parking being available at The Rambler Inn and getting to the Stone Centre 5min before closing time and finding the car park empty. Must just note that due to an IT hiccup on Saturday evening, my TomTom would not load the designed route. Hastily written crib sheets were made and Mad Dog Pete saved the day by constantly updating the route as we went. Couldn’t have done it without him. 2 hour drive from Wirksworth got us home. 6hrs of Westfield driving in an oven. Nothing like it. Batton passed back to Julie when she stops pretending to be Alan Wicker and returns home for at least one weekend. Thanks everyone for coming. Hope you got home ok.

Thanks @AndrewBClarkefor a great run around the Peaks. @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative would have been proud of your great route planning. We both had a great day with great company. Though you didn't find a cow muck🤣you did find a narrow road with about twenty plus tractors coming towards us🤣the last one being the the biggest. Thanks again for doing a brilliant job today.

en-route to Scottish Lowlands Mystery Tour. Great day out on Saturday and a great Westfield weekend 👍🏼

Back home in sunny Preston. Car washed and the gooey whatever it was jet washed off car and trailer ! Really good to catch up with you all you guys from North of the border again. Special thanks to Brad & Diane for organising a brilliant event again, even though we did cheat again slightly. Thanks again all great event, great company and great weekend. Cheers guys 🍻🍻

@judder @Buckles23 That's cool, we thought that might be the case, the sun was relentless, and most Scots are made of chocolate above 20 deg! 😜

A couple from today 😎

Hey Brad Sent a wee message direct but had to give up in the end. What a great day !! Thanks again so much 😁😁 and will get that wee video made up 😊😊

Thanks for the run Brad and Diane, sorry we split after the services to go and get a lovely pub lunch/early dinner in Biggar. Cracker of a day for it !

Yesterday’s run ,Aberdeen aboyne braemar to glen shee then down to Perth and back up Arbroath ,Montrose Stonehaven and home again just over 200 miles and the perfect day for it

Getting ready to set off from sunny Preston, going to be a great weekend 😀😀

Hey Brad Sorry for the short notice but would love to come along tomorrow as a day tripper. Hope that’s all ok and look forward to seeing everyone. Will bring the Drone and camera to get some footage of the day. Thanks Jamie and Joe

12 hrs and 340 miles in glorious sunshine round Wales today. Absolutely epic.

Nice photo! Another one from the other side.... And then a walk past of them all 👍

A couple of shots of the Peak District meet disbanding from the Bull Yard on the A515 on Sunday. The nose of my car is just in shot.

Out this afternoon to check that the roadworks (closed roads) on the route were finished. Weather forecast for next weekend is really good, especially Saturday for the run. See you the start, 9am at Cairn Lodge Services, M74!

After a lot of soul searching and a few drives in my Westfield i have decided to keep the car so it's no longer for sale. Bang for buck i've never been in a car that goes so well and makes my giggle like a little kid. You watch it rain for the rest of the year now so i can't use it 😂

My 60th birthday presents built.

I found building it ok.

How did you find the ISS kit? I nearly treated myself to it, but a lot of the reviews said it was virtually unbuildable due to being too spindly....

Makes me feel old; I had the original '70's blue coloured Lego Lunar Lander kit, oh, so many years ago!

Two Christmas presents in 2021.

Got this over 25 years ago. Shell used to issue vouchers whenever fuel was bought. These could be used to get things like this lego model. It was probably cheaper just to go and buy the model but i didn’t say that to Mrs A.

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative not sure if it's serious or not but the earliest Northampton Motorsport are able to investigate is 31st August so it will be laid up until then 😰
