A few pics from me. We did discuss the Air ambulance at lunch and I was sorry to see it at work in Hartington. A biker down, road closed and at least 5 police cars, one Ambulance and a helicopter in attendance. A sobering reminder of what can go wrong even on dry, sunny roads. T The start line at McD- We were snapped in Matlock too- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=madhead69&set=a.5762495767094361 A brief video- A popular peaky (dogging spot), sorry, view point I'm not trying to prove @BillyPee is two feet tall, honnestly 😉 A great run with great company and good to have 'Mad dog' Pete Clarke in the passenger seat.

Lining up in the holding area at Silverstone for a parade lap.

We met at McD's and ABC proudly showed us the mighty Rover 3.9l V8 and that he had tidied up the wiring after issues with the fuel pump last week Soon Bagpuss roared into the car park the line up just before Andy and Becky arrived The first car in shot is David and Freddie's, a Duratec engined car that will be for sale very soon The Duratec engine bay Everyone likes to pour over engine bays After a refreshment stop some folk had other plans and went on their way. The rest followed us for a photo shoot on Longstone Edge As shown in the previous post, Ian also took some photo's, photographing you photographing me. I don't know who is the daftest here, you or me. Anyway, we dropped down the road to the Yondermann to find it was full, no FULL, of motorbikes so off we went to the garden centre at Chatsworth. There wasn't one single motorbike, cyclist or hiker there, so don't go telling them that it is a great place to eat and not at all like up at the posh house. A few more peeled off at this point, leaving a line up of 5 cars. Chatsworth car park ABC went for their very delicious Sunday Roast And just in case Clare wasn't feeding him later (unlikely) he had Roulade for afters It was all calm at this point, but we had 2 of the 3 Andy's around the table, it could get messy The 2 Andy's are sat next to each other, it won't end well......and now the cakes have arrived OMG, @Andy Westwood, stop sunbathing on that beach and get yourself in the middle of these 2 I sat at the opposite end of the table to be safe, nowhere is safe After the bun fight we got down to some more serious stuff, Andy's @aeg car was only firing on 3 cylinders and it had to be investigated in the car park. To find that there is a leak on the rocker cover gasket causing oil to go into the plughole Now is a good time to remind everyone who owns a Westfield to go and check if the bolts have worked loose on the rocker cover, with all the vibration it does happen. Thank you to Rob for bringing the cars up from the Southern part of our area and to Ian for the photo's and Bagpuss TV. We hope everyone enjoyed the run, scenery and quiet back roads, not to mention cake, thanks for coming everyone and see you next time.

Let’s make it happen! The parade lap is ready to go, go, go!

At Whitby park and ride

Short clip taken by my wife as we passed her.

Well after having to work 6 days this week just so we could come and enjoy a day out with friends, even the weather was well behaved . Here’s some photos of the day taken by the better half ? The nice quiet back roads being followed by 2 breakfasts @BillyPee playing dodge the cyclist taking photos of silly people taking photos something is wonky !! Car, tree or horizon, take your pick but Becky says it’s not her and so much for the 4 week beach body diet…… and after drying the oil off the plug leads and tightening the cam cover bolts and still driving home farting popping and banging I can confirm it was f**** all to do with that 🤬 it was this so I apologise to all the people that I scared to death on the way home with the pops and bangs and the cars I held up trying to pull away from lights, junctions and islands . But thanks all for a great day out and see you all next time, luv Andy and Becky

Thanks for the warm welcome,Freddie and myself really enjoyed the run out.

Anniversary edition FW400 at Runnymede this morning. Looked great in the sunshine. And now the traditional roll call of those who it wasnt... 😄 😄 😄

Wheels up north car show today.

Hello just quick thank you to Robin yorkshire WSCC and Bogg Brothers for helping get my westie back on Yorkshire roads. Also big thanks to parts for sale members for helping source correct spares. Getting some miles in whole weather holds and hope to finish with respray this winter. Looking at autumn camping trip into Northumberland and North Pennines.

Due to the unexpected and unforeseen need for essential house repairs, it looks like I will need to sell my beloved Westfield FW. it is a 2.0l Zetec with OMEX throttle bodies and has done under 5000 miles. Comes with full weather gear and doors (not shown in the photos) and being the factory demonstrator had all the niceties fitted. I’ve added a screenshot of how the car was advertised by Westfield when I purchased it but obviously please ignore the stated mileage and remember the throttle body upgrade which was an extra: it is a 2014 car in a very nice French Blue. It has just been MoT’d (July) with no advisories and no issues. The car has been meticulously serviced by me and the cam belt was replaced last year and that was done professionally. I’m looking for £12k or a very close offer. If you are interested please contact me and we can discuss. Car is located near Southampton. Thanks

Hi Nick, no problem. Glad to here it's running well. Yes, no problem to bring it to a future run, just let me know in advance. Yes, you've missed a good day out!

Calling @Onliest Smeg David to the thread please 😊

Even though we Americans own a square acre of Runnymede (thanks yer maj)… it wasn’t me. 😎

She might have had the Wetherspoon app, no need to go to the bar.

Or get fake IDs for the kids 😄

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

Up to Beadnell (just south of Bamburgh) last Saturday for a week away with the family. Ruth drove the tintop support car with Oscar and I drove the Westy with Luca as Co-pilot. From Nantwich we took the M6 at Middlewich and turned right way up on the A69 via Hexham. North on the A1 and Beadnell is on the coast a couple of miles shy of Seahouses. Salt Water Cafe next door and the Craster Arms not 20 yards round the corner - what more could you want! Great drive - constant water temp in all conditions and at all speeds, as well as oil pressure behaving as normal right the way up. I’ve even had a few minutes to fit the new clock! First properly long run and very pleased.

Wow I've not seen a plug break up like that for year's

It was STRICTLY limited to 40mph, although it looks slower! It was nice to be out in front of everyone else though, means we got a full lap with no queueing at the end. We had to go single file around the outside at Luffield because one of the Bentleys from the previous race dumped a load of oil on the inside line where it broke down. The official coverage managed to comprehensively miss us, both on camera and in commentary, just catching the last three cars in our group for a few seconds. (Go to 3:45:04 to be properly annoyed.)
