Just over 200 miles under the belt today 😎 We had a couple of early morning glitches Wayne had a coolant pipe leak and Jim had a loose steering column, both quickly fixed and onward to Luxenbourg 🙂 We enjoyed a nice scenic route through Luxembourg including up a cycle path when Paul was leading 😅 On into Germany and we’ve arrived at a hotel stop for two nights near the Nurburgring 🙂

Classics by the river last night in Durham. One lucky owner of 2 x DB2's 😱💰

Pub meet time again! We will be meeting at the Clock Warehouse in Shardlow (DE72 2GL) at 7pm on Thursday. Beverages and food optional.... a few hours of chat and laughter with fellow petrolheads is compulsory 😂 Fingers crossed the weather will be kind and we will get some cars out 👍 Look forward to seeing you all

Good man, no roof in this weather.

That'd be me on the way home - good job skin is water proof

This is back from when that overheat happened in 2015, things happened so fast, it was only about four or five minutes later I even thought to take a photo. You can see the cat inside is still red hot! It made it eight years and 30k miles, after that roasting alive.

I think this isn't the correct exhaust position 🤣 what happened @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman 😄

I'm with Adrian flux/trinity and I pay £170 with 5 days included. The track XS is £1k and £500 on the road I just let them know when I'm on one. The only thing I would say is I have done it now for at least 4 years and when I started out with them it was more like £260 (which was expensive back then). It seems the longer it's gone on the more comfortable they are with it. No one can get near the price now with track included. I'm not saying that will be the case for everyone but that's my experience with track cover

Few small nuts, bolts and washers for things like wing stays etc? Self amalgamating tape possibly and some electrical wire? Although you could probably get some in France if required. You can guarantee whatever you take you won’t need, and vice versa! Enjoy, looking forward to the magazine article 😀.

220 miles under the belt today on route to Germany somebody was having a laugh first thing spot the party trick 🙃 the route took us on some barely new tarmac !!! stopped for lunch on the outskirts of Paris unfortunately we were split up on route to the hotel (no blame mentioned 😂) but all eventually rendezvous at the hotel with a tricky car park ramp to negotiate 😅

Thought I'd take a new passenger out for a ride. She didn't look too keen to start with, but soon chilled out and started drooling on my arm.

Let's help our estimed Club Secretary celebrate his old Nations 4th July . 😉 @Scott Young (Captain Colonial) - Club Secretary

Apologies for the lateness of posting, been away.... The Cheshire and N. Staffs Area meet will be this Thursday the 6th, at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley. Hopefully see you there!!

Tuesday evening meeting at the Buffers, Rakehill Road, Scholes, LS15 4AL from 7:30ish. Weather should be good, who's coming?

That's the original SootySport special Rain and cold doesn't bother JayKay.

A bit like I'm just about a Geordie having lived up here far longer than anywhere else in UK & Europe Great story about the ATC's

Thanks @Nick Algar it’s something I note but not observe any more. I’ve got dual nationality but lived here almost 10 years longer than I lived in the States, so it’s difficult for me personally to feel one nationality or the other. I guess that makes me a bit of a mongrel! 😂 The air traffic controllers in the States working today have a unique way of getting their own back. On the 4th of July, they greet the pilots of British Airways flights with “Happy Traitors Day”. 😂

I was actually largely dry - apart from the right shoulder which always catches the spray... Until I had to wait outside the child minder's for a quarter of an hour. During which it went from just "rain" to Noah casting off. I got home, got changed and got a second soaking with the dogs. Off to the pool now - good job I like water.

Apparently my Cat didn’t like seeing a series of consecutive 9k rpm overtakes, after a week of pass bashing, and decided to start failing big time. By the time it came to getting off the ferry, it was building so much back pressure, it just kept popping the link pipe and silencer off. Not knowing why, initially, as it came off on the ferry hatch so thinking it had just caught, we tried refitting but it didn’t last too long. After the second or third go, now convinced it was at least part blocked. Plan B was hatched, and the last ninety minutes or so of driving were done, with ahem, an open manifold. My ears have only just stopped ringing. To be fair to the car, the cat has done amazingly to survive this long. I was one of a tiny number of Westfield owners to have a faulty ecu loom. So way back in 2015 or so, whenever initial start up was, I had a weird misfire that ended up causing the whole cat to glow white hot, with the shape of the converter core itself, clearly visible through the near “transparent” stainless casing!

Good shout@Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO! I will add to my list 👍🏼 Yep for sure 👌🏼

Yes, very simple job if you have access to a ball joint splitter. The most difficult part will be getting things lined up again but if your are careful with measuring and marking it won't be a problem to get it good enough to get you to somewhere or someone that can get the alignment spot on for you.

No it's not Barry. The reason for wanting an old one is that they can be rebuilt with quality Quaife QR internals for the same money as a Rally Design version.

We went out for a late meal, first restaurant refused us entry it was quite posh and I had a bright orange 2012 Stoneleigh helper T shirt on which probably didn’t help😅 second restaurant was a 24 hour pizza place which ended up being a roadside vending machine so gave it a miss 😆 Mission accomplished found a cafe bar and we had streak and @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO had chicken supreme with a massooosive pepper mill 😆

Arriving back at Tagg Lane for the debrief. When is a Westfield not a Westfield, when it's van. It was raining, what vehicle were we supposed to come in? the MX5 is awaiting clips after an altercation with a field at the weekend, so the van it was. First over the finish line was Andy, he was also the driest! I hope that is rain ingress and not an egress The cakes flowed in true Peak District style And ice creams too Drying off Bye bye What a fabulous, soooooper, exciting time you guys have had. A big thank you for sharing your photo's and stories with us so we can taste just a little bit of the best flavour, excitement!

It looks like we won't be able to get my Dad's car to Newark, unless someone wants to be generous and bring it up for us 😅 So, since we would like some Speed Series representation at the event, are there any other Speed Series competitors that would like to bring their car along, it would be great to have you!

Went through LeMans centre on way back to digs past Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans 🙂

I’ve been into the circuit today with @W Shep as a passenger, been a good day apart from we’ve been queuing an hour already to get out 😅

The final final version! 😊

Superb...

The Grannies of Verona, all delighted to catch a glimpse of the Silver fox @Greenstreak-Andy DThe ‘Gentlemen’ passed around Verona this morning and are now sat on a train in Innsbruck heading for Düsseldorf

A few more recent images, some of the Moon, Venus and a recent large Active Region on the Sun. This shows a feature called Schröter’s Valley and the bright crater is Aristarchus. This one below shows two features called the Lunar X and V, highlighted in the next image. This one is of Venus showing around half phase. Finally a very large and detailed Active Region on the Sun. It was big enough to show a a black dot when viewing the Sun with eclipse glasses. Through a decent solar scope it was amazing, about ten earth diameters across I think.

dont forget the defectors to the dark side in MX5'S

Ali at the tiller as we cruise through London. Possibly scarier than following a Westie driver at times.

I navigate. Ali steers, she is better at that than me. Boats passing are massive and I tend to hide in the loo.

A-Plan do 1 day track day cover (as do others), expect to pay around £100 depending on the value of your car. I changed my policy to include 5 track days per year as its far more cost effective. I just ring A-Plan a few days before and I'm covered 👍
