Out with the Essex Boys this morning for monthly meet.

After nearly a year of problems, I'm back on the road, shiny re-lacquered carbon bits are amazing!

Got out with my mate Damo yesterday, me in the Flying Carrot him in his SDR V-Storm lunatic machine. Went to 5 Zeros Supercars Bradford-On-Avon for lunch, then had a nice shortish blat to Castle Combe race circuit where we drove the perimeter road to meet a mate who was marshaling a bike track day. No great pics but a great day full of laughs and silliness.

A small but very select group came today. We drove into the Doddington Hall car park to be met by Chris Emmerson and Mo who were really chuffed by being the first there. This elation was soon misplaced when I introduced them to @Jakejmagee who wondered across having parked in another car park. Good try Chris. Better luck next time 🤪 Breakfast was consumed over some healthy conversation. @Jakejmagee really went for it and had the full English. The rest of us paced ourselves hoping that better was to come. We then moved on to The International Bomber Command Memorial which is well worth a visit. More food was consumed including Sunday lunch by a few of us 😁. Chris, Jake and I then went on the free guided tour which was very enlightening but cold on top a hill overlooking Lincoln city. Clare and Mo were probably the more sensible ones who stayed inside and had another coffee. Photos courtesy of Jake and Chris - thanks. We all then parted having had a good chat and food. Thanks for coming

Quick run up on Dartmoor today, great to have a bit of sun for a change! This picture makes me realise I need to get some spacers fitted for the rears, wheels look a little lost. Photography skills need working on also!

They look jet black to me ! 😉

Great day had by all. No rain but a fantastic sun tan. On our maintenance day we found cracked fuel and coolant hoses. Loose nose cone and cycle wings amongst other things. Some fixed on site. Well done to all and roll on the next adventures.

Great turnout today at Kitfest! Well over 100 kits

Now that Westfield are no longer making the MegaS2000 and now we have two in my hometown, Karl and I thought we would try an experiment..... Anyone know the gestation period of a Westfield and how big the litter is likely to be!? 😂

Not strictly to the post definition but as I'm paying for it... Wife's car in for a re-spray. Received these from the bodyshop, they've done the door shuts ready for doing the outer shell next week... Bonus points for naming paint colour and car...

4months is about the turn around for his orders so should see your parts soon. I never received any notice of posting from him, they just turned up out of the blue. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 for you.

Before and after. Screw heads polished and clear coated with lacquer for extra OCD hit.

I bet you did, Gretton the little village or hamlet maybe, North East of Cheltenham, little remote maybe but a good area for bombing about on a nice day.

How do I pay my deposit? I’m hoping to have first pick from the litter?! 😆

Continued painting with can spray paint. Discovered great tool :

An enjoyable day of spannering in the 🌞! An oil and filter change, swapped over the wheels to my silver set and torqued up, checked all the pressures of the ZZR's, refitted the de-cat pipe (MOT was a week ago), replaced the W4 stainless Mikalor exhaust clamp (the old W2 had given up the ghost when I fitted the cat and had the horrible U-bolt type as a quick fix), a 20 minute wash and polish (the joy of Carplan No1 Super Gloss!), quick test drive to Halfrauds for some more glysantin G30 and she's all ready for Kitfest tomorrow. The old jalopy isn't looking too bad, the dailies are looking filthy now though 🤦‍♂️😂 Before: After:

Had a great day at Castle Combe on Tuesday. Here's a couple of the official glamour shots. I do also have some video footage of me harmlessly spinning off late in the day. Great fun!

A mostly dry day out in God's county - champion!

Thank you @AndrewBClarke for a great day out and for leading the run, that massive lamb dinner must be good fuel 😁, it meant we could get some rare photo's of our car from the front, thank you Sue @Andy Westwood. Great to meet you @Mark zawada and really glad you felt welcomed into our mad area. Watch out for @ianali they have photo's of the three point turn, Andrew got us to the right village but at the wrong end 😮, don't mention it though will you 😁 We went to the 'Member's Only Meet' at the museum first and made some new friends. Have you noticed, nobody has just 1 car😄 Car museum Car museum Lunch break Mark's wheels that we were drooling over. Toybox have plenty more of them for sale apparently. I hit the 70,000 mile mark on my odometer as we were travelling along today. That means I have driven 60,000 miles in a Westfield, yeah. On the move Great to see everyone and thanks for the laughs xxxx

My advice would be to just start your own meets, that's what I used to do before I became AO 👍
