Normandy invasion commenced today at 5am local time 4am Uk so we’ve not had much sleep 🥱 It didn’t take us long to get lost ! All back together using WhatsApp live location for breakfast stop

We’ve arrived at our gite for four days near Lemans .. looks a bit small but the garage is a decent size 😅

We’ve made it to the ferry port at Newhaven 😎 We travelled past stone henge and called in at Goodwood 😃

Relaxing at the Gite and noticed a similarity between our company and a couple of past tv stars. 👍

And @Terryathome made a right mess!

Thanks @Terryathome I used your toothbrush for the stubborn bits

I’ve listed an engine on eBay we’ve had for years as a spare which had been stripped ready for a ground up build for a Formula Monoposto car. The car sold years ago and my Dad is having a garage clear out. Advertised on eBay with no reserve https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155631592337?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yf-p5BitQCu&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=yf-p5BitQCu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It’s a 711M block which is 30 thou up. Comes with everything pictured including mains caps which are out of shot. Not sure what it’s worth, but would take £250 collected from Salisbury if anyone here is interested?

Yes they meet as Classic Car Sundays 2 to 4:30pm, 1st Sunday in month held at Departure Lounge Cafe, Basingstoke Rd, Alton, GU34 4BH. When weathers good they get a large turn out, mostly on grass and on a slope so not good when wet. Season April to October, weather permitting. Must admit I questioned the address, but a good venue.

1998 Westfield SEW Aerorace - road going competitive sprint, hillclimb and trackday car A road legal Lightweight Aerorace SEW chassis and an engine built with wide torque band and punchy top end. This car excels on the racetrack but is also a pleasure to hustle down the backroads. Having owning the car since 2018, this already championship winning vehicle has since helped me secure 1st in class victories in 2018,2020 and 2021 and as well as overall champion places of 2nd in 2018,2020 and 2021. Following a chassis up refresh in 2015 the car has been maintained and worked on by Northampton Motorsport. Over 15k has been spent on development in the few years to increase performance, reliability and make it suitable for large GP tracks such as Silverstone, Spa and the Nürburgring.

The Newark show has been absent for a few years re surfacing last year, WSCC attended in 2022 and it was a good show, we will be back in attendance this year as a club, we want to set up our pitch with the WSCC arch and a Westfield Avenue with flags 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Camping is available from 10am Friday 21st of July and a few of us will be going Friday to set up the club pitch. If you want to assist please shout up and it will be much appreciated, otherwise hopefully see lots of club members over the weekend. The Show organisers have confirmed as well as free entry to Kit, classic or sports car drivers you can also camp for free!!! (note passengers pay the daily rate for entry and camping). More details to follow of club pitch etc in due course 😎

Last year’s Newark show was the first for years and was organised very late with little time to plan. Even then, the stands were much better than expected and turnout reasonable. It has potential to be really good and as far as I know, lots more people are planning to attend. From the show organisers (Grosvenor Shows) point of view, if large numbers attend this will then attract more trade stands and year on year it will get better. In the meantime, let’s make it as good as we can as this will be better for everyone. For people that may need to travel further, the Premier Inn is walkable and if you need more entertainment, the Newark Air Museum is next to the showground For one, I am looking forward to it.

I should be ok to help setup Friday, assuming I survive donnington on the Wednesday!😂 Theres plenty of space as there’s loads of camping area behind those plots👍

Never having been to the Newark show before, I'm pleased to hear it's better than Stoneleigh! I won't be staying over this time, but I do aim to bring the mini-me along for the day.

Photo of last year.... we had about 12 cars or so on both days Sunday Saturday

It looks about the same as we had last year.... I'll try and find some photos

If you're coming to Alton and want to explore some of the local twisties beware... the A32 and A272 now have average speed cameras and also noise cameras... A339 and 3349 still free of cameras unless plod set up a mobile trap

Another possibility: https://www.brownsclassics.co.uk/meets-shows Generally the 1st Saturday of the month. I enjoy this one, only been a handful of times though. Any money made from the selling of burgers and drinks go to the Air Ambulance. I'm aiming to pop over this Saturday morning if anyone is about??

Looks like it could be a good meet! We've done Podium Place before too (Bone Lane, Newbury) then from there to Bird In Hand

I'm probably being a tad ambitious dragging a 10 year old around, but.....I may pop in via here Sunday morning all being well?? https://www.renegadebrewery.co.uk/event/wbcc-breakfast-july-meet/ Plenty of parking etc. Maybe this could be a possible future meeting point if new suggestions are being sought after?

welcome from bonny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we love photos of new motors...

Funny enough, thats the one I had. I've reviewed ducting and angles and managed to get hold of a 55mm alloy version of the polo rad. Hopefully the 2 changes combined are enough. Also added an oil cooler to the cars setup.

How many Westfield drivers does it take to change a switch? One to do it, one to tell him how and three to "give advice"

Richard Burgess has kindly offered to step up to be a Joint Area Organiser with me for the Kent area. Rich does alot already with route planning and helping organising and things are growing fast in the South East! We have a few ideas to do a bit more than just the monthly breakfast meets in the future. So watch this space! If you have an suggestions, events, trips away, days out etc let us know…. Nice one Rich 👌

Breakfast was nice at the hotel @W Shep got a double jolker😎

Arrived at the 1st Hotel in the UK but on the way down we passed a farm where the cattle crossed the road. Marcus was late to see it and ploughed through it. So he had to wash parts of his car, little did we know he smuggled his wind deflectors into the hotel. Here he is washing em.

Jim advised that Wayne never braked for corners ! But we found out his brake lights are not working ! I took the lead South Wales through Hereford avoiding motorways and wish I hadn’t 😅

240 miles under the belt today 😎 We got lost using @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO maps

Day 1 first stop meet at @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO 2nd stop a greasy spoon near Knutsford 😎

Hi!!! Just insured a Westfield in the Bracknell area so have recommended the club and the Thames Valley Meet so fingers crossed when he's up and running you'll have a new recruit at The Bird and Hand Happy blatting guys Carlie

Marcus and I prepare for wet weather. 👍

Welcome, am in Pembury also!! Got mine a few weeks ago! Thought i was the only Westie in the village!😁👍

Oh brilliant, I'm based in crowborough but often in pembury so hopefully see you around, just need to get my westie running again!

Have a great time! Those of you that have our AXA breakdown here's the contact numbers!

Thanks to @Carlie APlan @A-Plan Insurance THATCHAM who have some of us covered with European breakdown recovery just in case 🙂

I have just spent half an hour sellotaping my 10 euro back together that @Terryathome ripped in half on a previous tour 🤪 meanwhile @Terryathome is busy topping up on his meds 😁

@Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO has just completed last minute checks on his westy .. not exactly sure what though?
