Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all our Club Members; Its been another interesting year, in Westfield world, let’s hope 2023 is just a little less interesting. Hopefully we should see the new Westfield Chesil Ltd opening it’s on line doors in January, with the bricks and mortar equivalent not far behind! We will look forward to arranging a get together at the new place as soon as practical, (and the weather allows)! We had some fantastic runs and events last year, with more of the same to come in 2023. There’s the fantastic Silverstone Classic, (now named the Festival), a new location for the National Kit Car Show, at Malvern, and the Newark Show settling in nicely. Looking forward to meeting and driving with you, and wishing everyone a wonderful Westfielding New Year! Dave

Seasons greetings to all from the Clan McWesty look forward to seeing you all out and about in ‘23

Merry Christmas from me too, and a big thanks to all for making it such a friendly and welcoming forum. I have some car related pressies to enjoy which is fun , Mrs Stu thinks I’m very strange, but she still went with my requests 🤣

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours too @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman A big thanks from me to you and the committee for all your hard work this year making this club the best there is! 👏👏 Roll on '23 for more fun filled petrolhead action, can't wait!

You lucky people. Choose from the following. Tuesday 27th, run out to the Ponderosa. Thursday 29th, breakfast at Chocks Away. Both runs will include a few miles around the fabulous Welsh lanes, after the compulsory bacon breakfast, so you have a choice, or, if you’re super keen, why not both? Start venue for both is the Tudor Rose, on the A540, near Two Mills, meet at 9.30. Wrap up warm.

Merry Christmas and thanks to all who continue to make this club such an informative and friendly place to be

And to you too @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman. Your company is wonderful, your club is the best, Merry Christmas and may next year be as blatful as this one XXX

Merry Christmas!

There's some nice food pubs up Rutland way, not to far for us from sunny cambs.

Last update of the year. progress has slowed a bit recently as a change of career and the cold weather has meant I’ve not made it out to the workshop quite so often. I was fortunate to source a set of the correct Dunlop CR65 Tyres in the right size second hand, they’ve got some age to them and probably not ideal for serious racing but at 1/10th the price of a new set they’ll be fine for setting up the geometry and getting everything rolling and pointing in the right direction. For now I’ve put these onto a set of minilites till I work out what to do with the JA Pearce Magna’s. with the car now at a rolling stage and with not much more to bolt on other than the bodywork I decided to give e it a weigh, 105kg on the front axle, 140kg on the rear giving a dry weight of 245kg and 57/43% across the axles. over Christmas I hope to get the firewall in and the fuel system finished I still need to fit the pump and filter, as well as terminate all the electrics at the rear. There might be a pause after that as the final job I’ve been putting off for a long while is the bodywork. I’ve started stripping back the layers of filler and paint revealing it’s original gold colours from the Racing Car Show. There’s also a lot of damage that needs repairing, so I need to find somewhere experienced with aluminium bodywork and probably also wheeling. Before that can happen though I also need to buy a bigger trailer that the car will fit on. A couple of pictures to finish

Oh the irony... got one of those bl**** pop-up notifications myself yesterday. Not sure how I missed it but there we are. Both Sophos Home (my AV programme) and Malwarebytes missed it. The other way to stop these is to go to your settings (this is for Google Chrome. Firefox and Edge will have similar pages but may be named slightly differently). You can click through but it's easier to paste this in to the address bar: chrome://settings/content/notifications Scroll down until you see You'll probably see the annoying pop-up in here. On the right there will be three dots, click them and choose "Remove". Job done.
