We are on the electric pitches if anyone is around the woodlands campsite!

Hi everyone, the second of our usual two track days per year is on Friday, September 23rd. There are some changes for this event, so will everyone read all of the details below and contact me as requested please. Also, please read the following disclaimer: ** To save the WSCC from any liability issues I have to let you know that the Curborough track days have been booked by Warwickshire Area Organisers independently (as they have been for the last 15 years) and are not therefore organised or sanctioned by the Westfield Sports Car Club. ** As usual we are keeping it to only 15 cars, with first choice on the limited number of places to Warwickshire Area WSCC members, then followed by the wider WSCC membership. If all the places are not filled, I will post it on the Warwickshire Area Facebook page and accept non-WSCC members to make up the numbers. The main change this time is that I have arranged to have the on-site cafe provide us with food and drinks for the day instead of my BBQ. Clearly there is an additional cost for this, so the fee has been adjusted accordingly. The cost this time will be £85 per car/driver, if all 15 places are filled. Any additional driver/passenger will be £15 to cover food. I intend to open the gates around 9am, the track will open at 10am, with lunch from 1pm until 2pm and finishing at 5pm. The proposed fee will cover all the costs but any surplus will be donated to the appropriate WSCC charity (Air Ambulance). However, if we cannot fill all the places then I will have to ask for additional funds to cover the cost of the hire. Ideally, I would like to see all monies paid by the 16th September. These track days are often oversubscribed therefore we will keep a reserve list in case of last minute withdrawals but refunds for non-attendance cannot be guaranteed. Please follow the instructions below; 1. Send me a PM with your full name and email address 2. Pay the full balance by bank transfer to the details I return to you, ASAP please 3. Read the track hire rules sent to you 4. Read the menu below and indicate a lunch preference Menu Breakfast - bacon & egg or sausage & egg sandwiches Lunch - Burger & chips or curry & chips Drinks - tea, coffee & squash available all day (Other items may be purchased from the cafe on the day) Finally, due to the requirements of managing the track entrance I could do with at least one assistant who is prepared to attend and help with organising without driving or alternatively a few drivers to give up driving time to assist. Please message me if you wish to volunteer. This is always a great day and a safe way to explore the limits of your car and yourself with only one car on the circuit at a time. If you need any more information on this event, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I will add names to this list as they are booked - 15 PLACES AVAILABLE: 1. Justin Lever 2. Mark Jones 3. Adrian Parham 4. Mike Williams 5. Tony Marley 6. Tony Shakeshaft 7. Rhett Turner 8. Nick Mucklow 9. Ian Heawood 10. Hedley Bennett 11. Dean Bakehouse 12. Rob Hunter 13. Glynne Walters 14. Paul Ward 15. John Moore Reserves 1. Mark James Pulled out:

Update - arriving around lunchtime ish Friday!!!

Trying my best to match your scenery Gary 🤣, this one from today Horseshoe Pass Llangollen Denbighshire.

Hi! Well, most 36" inside leg length trousers fit me only just. My feet are size 14 UK. It does fit. If there's a will, there's a way 🙂 J

Ok, I'm longer in the leg than you. I'm comfortable in my wide body westy. I do need to fit a taller roll bar at some point as my head is above the current one. And I can see over the top of the windscreen if I stretch.... roof still fits over me though. Not that I've ever used it.

We will be there 👍

Please can you let me know of any issues from now as These should have been resolved. Please clear your cache and check problem still exists. Thanks, ACW

Hi Alan I am in Honiton so not far. I will try and get over for your club meet. thanks Rob

Welcome, don’t know where you are based but there will hopefully be a number of Westfields at the Dorset Area Monthly meet Thursday 1st September at The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30.

Hi! Not too long ago I asked to sit in a car, too. I am 6ft 4 with a lot of length in my legs. Some cars I have tried fit me, others no chance. Biggest difference seems to be a top mounted pedal box, rather than floor hinged. The floors on mine aren't lowered, but it is a widebody. I'm in North Devon, by Bideford. Happy to meet and chat. Jens

I like that term, Tony, and I hope you and everyone else that joins us feels welcomed and looked after. We all met at Hulme End Tea Junction, it made a nice change to meet there, as we drove through Matlock Bath all the scooters were gathering for a large meet, which was lovely to see. Hulme End We sat overlooking the car park First meal of the day The best bit about meeting at Hulme End is that we get to drive the Crowdecote road on the way out. You can see right up it before you drive it and I could see a milk tanker on it's way down, so we all patiently waited for it to pass, then it was brrrum......ha until there was a cyclist on one of the really nice tight bends and I took that at 1 mph, never mind. Hat off to the cyclist for attempting such a hill, I have never seen one on there before, although we cycle the opposite side of the valley which is fairly tough. The next challenge was on the lovely twisty Miller's Dale road. There were a lot of fresh twigs on the road and I was thinking that there would be something big ahead of me, then an oncoming car flashed me.....sure enough a tree had been bought down onto the road. Luckily we could get past and we all agreed later that it was probably a hay lorry that bought it down. The country roads really are the most dangerous. For me the challenges make the driving interesting and we had a good, flowing run on quiet roads meaning that we arrived at the Traveller's Rest in perfect time. ABC had told me earlier that he was having problems with his fuel pump and he would meet us there, and sure enough he and Peter were waiting for us. Our new member, Tony, had only owned his car for 6 weeks and everyone wanted to offer advice so it was not long before the bonnet came off, to show the 1.8 Zetec on Webers. It was a lovely car, purchased from Toybox and Tony was pleased with it. Very soon Paul took his bonnet off as he also has a Zetec on Webers and the knowledge flowed, how lovely. The Traveller's Rest Paul bought his Australian nephew, David, along for a ride and he looked like he was really enjoying it. It was great for us to be able to learn what life is like on the other side of the world too, very interesting, a pleasure to meet you sir. After a hearty lunch, or a kids one if your name is Chris 😁, the two Billy's and Paul and David carried on in a Northerly direction and we went cake hunting. With a lack of Andy's present we took advantage and headed for Chatsworth to see who could get the biggest portion. Chatsworth car park I was guarding our '4 pick and mix' cakes ABC definitely won the 'largest slice' prize Chris was pacing himself for the large meal waiting at home later Glynn and Tony were right up there with ABC hogging the big slices of roulade Oh we have fun over these cakes, they are unbeatable and if they are good enough for the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire then they will do for us. It has been another great day out, lovely views, roads, even some cow poo to moan about, we have had it all THANKS FOR COMING EVERYONE XXX

Have been speaking to Christoph A W Bettag, who many will know already for their super carbon fibre products. Christoph was the German distributor for Westfield previously, although really, they were much, much more than simply a distributor; not only stocking more than the factory used to, but designing and making their own parts too. (Some of which were so good, the factory rather cheekily copied!!) They even make complete, brand new bodywork, in carbon fibre; it's subtly different, (well, improved), from the WSC Ltd design, so no IP issues what so ever. The contact details Christoph supplied are as below: e-mail : kontakt@belecon.de by WhatsApp at +49 171 55 40 600 our current shop for carbon parts is here : https://shop.tofugarage.com/#!/~/search/keyword=carbon Christoph commenting on some of his future plans: If your pockets are deep enough, they can supply a full carbon body... Full FW Evo2 Or V8 Evo2

This is what I get when I try to open the main club site.
