Another amazing turnout, must be something in the water 😂 We even had six cars for the pre-meet convoy!

An amazing day for many reasons, I love it when the cars come off SORN and we are joined by people we haven't seen for a while. A great big thank you to Rob for bringing a convoy up from the Derby area. Here we are at Quacker's cafe car park. After refreshments and an interview by Hedley it was time to do what these cars do best, and that's to move. The route was very carefully chosen to avoid any tourist traffic and it did that very successfully. The roads were empty, the views were excellent, the convoy stayed together easily and we arrived at The Eyre Arms, Calver very pleased with the day so far. The Eyre Arms car park with Chris (Phippsy) in the line up (orange car). A 2 brake manpower car belonging to Hedley soon replaced Chris's car as he had to leave us at this point. It was lovely to meet you and I hope that you can come again. In the Eyre Arms Next up, ice cream, so that means a trip to Adam's Happy Hen's. To cut a long story short, I was playing 'how to be a car park attendant' again and pestered Chris to fetch his car further down so he could be in the line up for photo's. I was passed his keys and OMG I was allowed to drive his absolute pride and joy, sir I am honoured. He later told me that no-one has driven his car in 15 years only him. Me reversing Chris's car, making sure reverse is where I think it is. No good having a Westfield sunburst on the gear lever, that doesn't tell you does it. Ice cream, waffles, cream, yummy Brilliant day out, these cars are fantastic, great to see you all today, thanks for coming everyone.

Two meets in two days for me, I'm a happy boy! 😂 Brilliant morning as always, thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for organising! We had 6 cars land at the pre-meet location. Stu went topless so we could admire the new turbo on the MX5 engine, it's a beautiful install 👌 Matt also came along briefly to meet us all for the first time in his recently purchased ZX10 engined car before heading home. A fun convoy up through Wirksworth and then up my favourite B5056 followed before landing at Quackers to find a sea of stunning cars 😍 After breakfast, a few of us had to head home so I took the opportunity to video the departure 👍 Amazing mix of engine choices today... Zetec, supercharged Zetec, MX5, MX5 turbo, S2000, supercharged S2000, Rover V8, R1 and ZX10R.... something for everyone! Hope you all got home safe, see you on the next one!

Essex and North Kents run and meet this morning from Gravesend to Hawkhurst Fish Farm. Great turnout 12 cars.

A quick trip out to the M4 Karting meeting today near Hullavington. Nice little blat there and back with Ross in his blue Honda engined Westie, me in my turbo Zetec.

Cars&Coffee at Gasoline Juice this morning

A couple more photos Lovely install Stu, just be sure the fan belt is on properly! 🤪 someone’s looking for a spot to park Nothing to do with me, blame the photographer! 😁😁 Have a good day all

Earlier today… Great seeing so many, sorry I couldn’t stay. someone’s left a mark!

….And done I won’t mention the runner or e-bike that overtook me 🫢

Did someone say Essex!

It was lovely to meet you all at last! I enjoyed seeing all of your projects! I wanted to get back home to feed the family and have an Easter egg hunt with the kids, only for Google to put me into some sort of 25 mile loop that I didn't notice until the second time around 🤦😂

13! Obviously not unlucky after all!

Special delivery that day from the North East and this time not your car. #newracecarday

I also have a regular Westfield Catalytic converter exhaust for the MOT. 5 minute job to swap over, link pipe included. I am the 2nd owner of the car. I’ve owned this car since 2006, the 1st owner bought and spec'd this factory built car from the Westfield Factory.

I have been a Westfield owner and member of the WSCC since 1999. It is heart breaking to sell this car, as it has provided me many years of trouble free motoring including many trips to Le Mans, unfortunately due to work and other interests I’m finding I no longer have the time this car deserves. Recent years have barely done 500 miles a year. The car is a real head turner and attracts a lot of attention. Would like to see it go to a new loving home and get driven a lot more than it has been. The car will be supplied with a full build manual, receipts and original invoices from the factory. I'm 5ft 9 and I fit comfortably in the car. Asking price £10500 ono.

@Euan Hoosearmy

these are 15/11 .5 rear and 15/8.5 fronts

At the Leeds Cruise.

First run out of the year today, having finally got the prototype dash together. This is just the original panel with some extra and modified holes wrapped in carbon look vinyl.... Once I'm sure I'm happy with the new layout I'll do the proper carbon one... Sorry about pic being upside down... even if I flip the image it displays wrong way up... (Fixed - Moderator)

My all-time favourite wheels back on the car... John Brown Wheels Smoothies. They no longer supply the black version, so this time it is silver with chrome hub caps. The fronts are 13" 5.5J with an ET20 offset fitted with Toyo R888R in 185x60 and the rears are 13" 7J with an ET0 offset fitted with Toyo R888R in 205x60.

There are lots of reasons why parts are more expensive, I have just retired but before the Covid issues we were paying $4000 dollars for a shipping container of parts from Korea. That shipping cost increased to $16000 during that period and stayed higher settling to $8000 at the moment. That is before you put the parts in that have increased due to raw materials. Once here we now have increased dock charges, increased transport and warehousing as energy prices are massive to what they were. Many blame brexit for the staff shortages, but the reality is around the world low paid jobs are not easy to fill, in the UK many older workers never went back after lockdown as many took time to do equity release and live well. We had staff who were furloughed, on way more than minimum wage, however once they saw how much they could get not working many did not return But back to Westfield, clearly they were not making money hence their downfall and now there is a sharp business man in charge they are looking at the bottom line. It is easy to sell more cars than the next guy, harder to do at a profit. Caterham sold 670 cars at a price that Westfield could only dream of and the components part would not be that big a gap between what WC paid. Profit is what they need and many who go there will pay a premium for ease of supply. You can always get cheap parts, getting good cheap parts is the hard bit

As discussed at the March monthly meet a few of us said we would join the Essex area monthly April meet which is at Hawkhurst fish farm. Easter Sunday 9th April 2023 at 0930hrs. Hawkhurst Fish Farm, Cranbrook, Kent, TN18 4RT, United Kingdom If anyone else would like to join a group ride to Hawkhurst I will get one planned in.
