Fresh MOT 👍 new minimalist rear end - #gottalovetheQ

Finally managed to get out for a decent run. Tour of the valleys - this one was taken on one of my favourite roads 👌

Parked in the shade so no burnt bums 😂

Thank you to everyone for the birthday greetings, it has been lovely to read them. It was a tad too hot for cake today so I went for 2 scoops of Matlock Meadows Chocolate Ice Cream, purely to assist with the cooling you understand 😉

Popped into Castle Combe circuit today to see a few mates on a track day. Parked up by Merlin Motorsport for the pic. Also spotted Jon Delieu from YouTube Forensic Detailing Channel. Forgot to take a snap though - duh!

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative this run out never happened!!!!! Conspiracy theory 🤔there’s no cake photos 😱 admitted there wasn’t an Andy insight or was it because you got all hot and bothered, take care Andy (official cake taster)

A very warm visit to Hook Norton Classics at the brewery this morning. The turn out was good, given that I feared the weather would keep a lot of folk away.

1994 Toyota 4AGE 1600cc 16v SEiW Originally built by a professional engineer who was linked to Tyrrell Motorsports. 2nd owner purchased in 1999 and tuned the car for fast road use and occasional track days. Paul Morcom purchased in 2008 and prepared it for hillclimbs and sprints and competed in the 2009 WSCC Speed series where it was Class A and Overall Novice winning car. I purchased the car in 2014 as my first Westfield and I have never competed in it but instead tinkered with it and used it as a weekend toy, adding less than 5000 miles to it in that time. The car is an excellent starting point for first Westfield ownership or as a project car (see advert below), I just don’t have the time to spend on it as well as driving it! The car has a full history and copies of all receipts from original build plus photographic record of the original build. The 4AGE engine was tuned by Raw to 168bhp (Cams, lightened and balanced flywheel, engine blueprinted, head polished and ported, race pistons, delortto carbs and OMEX OMEM 500 ecu). Also previously tuned by Mech Motorsports. During lockdown I converted it to fuel injection, replacing the Dellortos with Jenvey ITBs. She now has the following spec: Jenvey DCOE Twin 40mm Throttle Bodies Open diff Widebody 'Kit' body shape with detachable rear arches Protech suspension set up by Track Developments MSA roll bar (I have the RAC bar if the new owner would like it) White Revolution 4 spoke wheels Toyo TR1 tyres all less than 500 miles old Toyota gearbox. Lovely short shift. Brand new custom fuel tank (Read the post about it here: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/138486-fuel-tank-design-any-suggestions/) Brand new Sytec fuel pump and regulator Carbon Fibre boot lid (not currently fitted) Lightweight fiberglass bucket seats (seat runners not fitted as I'm too tall for them, I can refit for the new buyer if desired) White VDO Royale gauges. Tall windscreen (from the Sport 250) Flatbottomed momo steering wheel Willans 4 point harnesses Spa wing mirrors Repackable Exhaust Braided fuel lines and anodised AN fuel fittings. New drive shaft (Dunning & Fairbank) CTEK Bluetooth Battery monitor Engine rebuilt in 2016 after bottom end bearing went. Valve Stem seals, Cam seals and cover seals all replaced. Top milled flat with new 0.8mm TRD gasket. Bottom end crank bearings and piston bearings replaced. Cylinders honed Cleaned and repainted everything in silver enamel. New NGK sparks, alternator and starter motor. New oil pressure sensor Additional parts (to be Included but not fitted): • Westfield rear carbon stone guards (not fitted yet). • Standard Westfield chrome roll bar • Full wet weather gear (for the original windscreen and standard roll bar, so unlikely to fit) • Driver side seat runners • Standard Windscreen (cracked glass) • Spare speedo cable • Original Bootbox • Spare wheel (not revolution) Starts, runs and drives brilliantly and I still do drive it, but don’t have the time to complete these project items. • Bootbox could be fitted or Carbon Fiber Boot lid needs fitting • Windscreen is fitted but needs siliconing in. • GRP bodywork is 29 years old! • Sump oil leak, nothing major but could do with new gasket/sealing. • Gearbox oil could do with replacing.... filler bolt needs replacing (I have one) • Brake fluid its old and needs replacing • Battery tray or improved fixing needed. • Arch protectors need fitting (new carbon ones supplied) • Quick release steering boss has never worked • Wheel alignment & tracking – I replaced a wishbone after bending one... • Tuning – I replaced the fuel injectors after the last rolling road session, it could do with another hour or so with a tuner (I used Day tuner in Harrogate) MOT till 5 April 2024 I'm happy to take anyone out in it or answer any questions. I'm in Harrogate.

Glen knows how to spoil a lady. 2 scoops.

Happy Birthday @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative !!

I'm going up on Saturday - not sure what car I may be in. If it turns out to be as good as the last Flywheel event, be prepared for a long day from which you'll struggle to tear yourself away!

MRE, some sort of 'meal ready to eat' 'military rations to eat' every day is a school day and after the 'scotch locks' earlier on today my brain is squeaking 🫠 @Rob Hunter Derby & Notts AO . New Bath Hotel car show update - the guy called Rob in the Atom came, with another guy in an Atom just after we had left. I will get my Westfield/Atom gathering one day. Date for diary - 9th July 4pm New Bath Hotel car show, let's meet the Atoms. Thanks @Glynn Walters for your photo's, traction engines are lovely but I was glad they had stopped.

Sorry, couldn't make today, but only had this weekend and next before another x thousand mile road trip through Europe happens, so spare time was assigned to car fettling. (OK, today was partly securing the silencer, hopefully, to avoid blowing it off in another Austrian tunnel!!)

Great day baking in the sun cheers! My erm….passsenger!😉 managed to get some quite poor shots of the traction engine rally as “we” passed by!”

Am I too late to nominate @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOas birthday Representative for the Committee?

As 'Bagpuss the Birthday Cat'- I assume this is rightly aimed at me 😉 I do my regular announcements, mainly for two reasons- 1. To help re-engage members who may not be so active 2. Celebrate the Birthdays of the many friends I've made in this great club. Some could even argue they are unnecessary, as the Birthday's are shown on the front page, if you're on a PC, though you need to go looking deeper for them on a phone Happy to be steered & guided by the members.

Finished my luggage rack ready for my summer trip to France.
