Having to slum it !! Parking at the holiday cottage

Great drive around the Peaks yesterday. Up Winnats Pass and a stop for lunch at The Rambler Inn in Edale. A small issue going into the carpark when my alternator belt started squealing. Quick check and the the bolt for the alternator bracket attached to the engine was missing. After lunch Sue and myself had a walk down the road and I found the bolt and the washer. Bolt refitted and off to Bakewell for dessert. Great day helped by the fabulous weather and a bit of luck finding the bolt.

Beautiful line up at the pub meet this week Then Mick steals the show with his Elan! 😍

Two shots from camera ( Insta 360 ) mount testing today :

I’ll hopefully be there. Hope it’s not as wet as last time!!

Thanks for all the comments I’ve a busy weekend coming up so doubt I’ll have much time to work on the car but I managed to find a quick half hour after work this evening to cut and fold the bonnet. the aluminium sheet was too large for my bender so I clamped the fold between two lengths of steel angle and then hammered the bed with a rubber mallet. the roll was likewise done on the lawn over a length of 4” drain pipe.

POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER FORECAST Meet at The Strines, Mortimer Road, S6 6JE, midday on Sunday 30th July. I am hoping that this fairly central location will attract AO's and members from a lot of different areas so we can have a good tyre kick by the display of cars. The fairly small car park in front of the pub has a big over spill car park behind it up the hill, as it is summer we will be better off parking up there. Bring your flags if you have one. Who is interested? who is coming?

Always knew you had a screw loose 😂

Would just to give a good review for a-plan insurance. Yesterday I took out insurance with them. I dealt with Ben who was very helpful and polite. The price was very good as always.

If it's decent weather we will be there 👍

If it’s a dry day I’ll be there.

I’ll be there.

I'll be there if it isn't wet

Preparing our display area. Good size this year!

Meeting 12 noon at Bird in Hand this Sunday 9th July, all welcome🤩 Come along with whatever you're driving, the more interesting the better🧐

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

A short ride to car barn beamish summer meet with apc1x. Jeffc former members tommy mac. Then what looked like his n hers mclaren and gt3

5 of us out today over the Mendips via Cheddar Gorge. Great day in fact.

Finally getting some use now! Dropped my mates daughter at her prom on Friday: Followed by a meet yesterday that I forgot to take any pics, however I attended another local one today at the Renegade Brewery (Formally 'West Berks Brewery')

Managed to get a short ride in today for an Ice cream at the local farm shop

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.

Me n Debs will be there weather permitting of course 😉😊

Glad you're also happy @Steve Smith - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO why not add to the post here? -

Today we travelled from Rotterdam Europort and called into ER Classics on route, some nice cars for sale but a bit pricey 😵

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

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.

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.

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!

I've been following your recent racing exploits, if you brought a pedal car you'd still be quicker than me! 😂

A few of us met up with the Kitnet boys again last night, great sunny evening at a nice village pub 😎

Hello all. I have just bought my dream car and officially a Westfield owner. My own stormtrooper car just got home after a smiling drive. I am in Pembury, Kent so you might see me around if local. Cheers

Or apply it with paintbrush into nooks and crannies then wipe over.

Sorry we can't make this one as we have other plans booked. 😪
