Here is a somewhat amateurish video of the short trip from Tesco to Re:fuel. I’m still learning the Insta360 software as you can see 🤪

Slight technical hick up. Throttle stuck open due to a frayed accelorator cable. Glad it was on a long stretch of A road not the twistys later in the day. Big thanks to th AA guy who got me underway. Lack of tools prevented me from using my choke cable to sort it. Sore this morning after 278miles in the seat yesterday

Excellent morning, thanks all for coming along. It was really good to meet you all, familiar faces plus plenty of new ones. Some pics and videos of today. I’ll see if there is anything on my Insta360 although it wasn’t behaving very well so I think it missed quite a lot ☹️. For those who weren’t there, I met Matt, Adge and Rory (who came down from Bristol) at Illminster Services, then Matt led us on a very nice route over the Blackdown Hills to meet the others at Tesco Cullompton, before heading into Re:Fuel. We had ten Westies and a Mini which was an excellent turnout. After a very nice breakfast and a natter, Adge then headed a group of six of us on a little tour north ending at Ralegh’s Cross Inn for a warming cuppa. We then all headed home our different ways; I went back to Crewkerne via Taunton, ending at just over 100 miles for the day. Thanks all 👍

It's surprising who/what you find at your local car museum on a Friday evening. The beautiful red Westfield is what was Andy and Ann's car, it now belongs to Kevin? a new WSCC member who we hope to see more of in the Peak District. Hope you got home ok in the pitch black, doesn't it go dark early now?

It made me chuckle watching you all reverse into your spots at the end in fast forward speed, very balletic 😂

Hi Gareth! Are you receiving this message, not sure whether you're in the WhatsApp group... This is what you want: https://www.qwertee.com/shop/tees/we-can-t-fix-it Enjoy 🙂

best day out in the car for ages! thanks for organising. Aching a bit now lol shout out to adge for the extra drive enjoyed that (apart from the fiesta 10minutes)

Like this..... trickier because of my exhaust surround..

😀 my new one came the wrong ‘hand’. Phoned them up to complain and was told to undo the holding nuts and rotate. Did as they said and all fine.

Have a great day @Morley 🍺

Aren't these convertible by disassembling them and rotating the back casting 120 degrees? David

Yes Margaret and I are up for this depending on hip op timing. great idea 👍

Please put me down for a space.👍

Been caught out a few times with that ( although mine snapped), ended up fitting two cables instead of the one it came with. Even with two I carry a spare in the boot - once bitten and all that...

Monthly meet for a natter and a pint, usual venue, The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30.

Thanks @Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO- Devon & Somerset great venue and a good bunch of westys. Glad i got the alternator bracket and replacement alternator done on Friday.

Gareth isn’t in the WhatsApp group Jens.

I've still got it Richard yours for 20k

Happy Birthday, Ben, have a great day!

Thanks for a great morning out Stuart. Hopefully the first of many in the future.

It’s a home made hood, works quite well in the rain but only when I have my temporary windscreen fitted 👍🏼

See you there, looks like Si can make this one too! 😂

I wear a shark helmet. It has pin lock and the anti fog insert came with it. It has a drop down sun visor but I have tried it with sunglasses as it’s advertised as having cutouts for glasses. No dramas at all and still fairly comfy to wear for a full day of blatting. I did go to a large biking gear shop and tried a few helmets on. It is a bike helmet rather than a car one but still works well in a car. After having a large moth hit me in the visor at a good speed I can only imagine I would have binned the car off the road without it. I’m also running aeroscreen with cage so welcome to the club.

I will have to see that sometime especially as we both call our car by the same name! @Matt_S

Whose is the orange Westie at the Shell Station with the full cage? I like the roof or whatever the correct term is. Does it actually keep you dry in rain without a windscreen?

Got this a few weeks ago was on twin 40's having been stood for a couple of years .... Now fitted bike carbs, just passed mot yesterday got to drive it for the first time to take it to test station ....it's brilliant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning at refuel .Thank you for organizing this Stuart it was great to meet you and all the other like minded people. Also , thank you Adge for leading our drive out. Which we also thoroughly enjoyed. S & M

Hello All, October is almost here and summer will soon be gone. The October meet is this Sunday, not sure about the weather or the light but still hope to see a few of you there. Thanks Rhett 7pm, 1st October at the Dudley Arms, Himley. DY3 4LB.

Sorry, I haven’t been on here for the last two days, so missed the post/message 😢. Also Iv already had something planned.
