It certainly did - twice! Will post some videos to the Facebook page. Managed to get these photos afterwards:

Thanks to the long weekend I’ve got the bracing welded to the top of the chassis. Whilst it probably looks a bit OTT for the job it’s also there to mount the steering rack and the upper wishbone mounts as else they’d hang off the edge of the chassis unsupported. With that all done I trial fitted the steering rack and column as I was a bit worried about the angle on the UJ, as it was it seems to work ok which is good news. I’ve also heard back from the laser cutters and they’ve found the missing bits from my order so those should be arriving tomorrow or Wednesday.

This was my pick of the bunch, a Mk3 Escort running a turbo’d rotary engine!

Cheeky little meet up in the sunshine 🌞 WSCC meets NWKCOG at Curborough 👌

It took me a long time to be able to attend my first meet, and hopefully working arrangements will mean I can be there on a more regular basis. Great to see a lineup of essentially the same cars but every single one bearing its owners stamp in terms of mods, fixtures, fittings and innovation! Attached is a pic of the new head I'm working on - pressure and vacuum tested, skimmed and honed to bed in the new Kent Fast road cams and bearing caps. Cheers D

Nice photos. I went along but in my Toyota gt86 rather than the Westfield.

What a beautiful day, so of course we had to get the cars out! A few of us met bright and early at Ashby. Glynn had finally got the 400bhp S2000S back on the road after the clutch let go last year. We took a steady drive down to Curborough down the quiet back roads of South Derbyshire until the convoy disappeared from my mirrors... I doubled back to find Iain and Rachael's Luego had had a bit of a whoopsie! After a fantastic team effort, we got the Luego sorted and managed to get back underway. Slightly delayed we all landed safely at Curborough to find the rest of the gang already there. We had invited the local NWKCOG group too so had an amazing line up of fourteen MEV's, Marlin, Luego, Tiger, MK's, MNR's and Westfields, plus an Abarth and a classic Mini. We out numbered the spectating Caterhams by about 3 to 1 for their own sprint day 🤷♂️ Fortunately, the paddock was full of almost 40 Caterhams running in various classes. The quickest of which were a pair of slick shod Hyabusa powered cars that were epic on track 👍 Good friends and stunning cars, it's what sunny Sundays were made for!

I’ve been thinking about doing a Haynes breakfast meet for ages and it was well worth the trip this morning. Loads of kits on show and some very interesting machines to admire. Nice to meet you @fatblokestu and nice to see that neat half hood of yours up close, gave me some good ideas for improving mine. And a shout out to the Kitnet boys for the convoy in, was a great drive there and back.

This looked unlikely given the recent weather, but in the end the rain held off and I met up with Matt at Cartgate Roundabout on the A303 for a quick natter before heading into the event. There was already a queue heading in, but not too bad and we were soon parked up side by side in the main area. Sean was in the paddock next to another club Westie, apologies didn’t catch your name! Plenty of other Westfields and Caterhams dotted about too. We had a good wander about, caught up with the other chaps and I also had a chat with @Paul Baker, nice to meet you sir 👍. I’ll certainly head back there again when possible, there was a huge range of different cars there from old/inexpensive to recent supercars. A lovely RS200 and Muira in the entrance lobby to the museum too. Here is a (quite large!) selection of them:

When Longton ran the sprint at Anglesey in April, the week before we received an email with final instructions, car number allocation, running order etc. An online signing on link and an invitation to participate in a Drivers Briefing via zoom or teams. I havent received the email for the Blyton event so can only assume it will be out in the next 24/48 hours1 point

There’s not much to show yet but these are the concept drawings I’ve been working on. The basic dimensions for the driver are not dissimilar to that of a Westfield. Chassis will be 25mm mild steel box with an aluminium floor. Most of the mechanicals such as the wheels, hubs and brakes are from a Peugeot Speedfight moped whist the narrowest steering rack I could source was from an MC2 Microcar. finished weight of the rolling chassis should be 55kg. The bodywork I’m loosely basing around the 1949-51 Ferrari 166 F2. I haven’t worked out how I’m making this yet but if time it’ll probably be fibreglass.
