As Andy said, a brilliant day out, that is one good route up there on the tops of Buxton especially in this clear air. It is Drive it Day today so it was great to see so many unusual cars on the roads too. We met at Cupola The Westfield's started gathering All the other cars were blue today, even Billy's Porche is blue The motorbikes have now discovered this new venue Bonnet's soon came off as the advice flowed After breakfast (thank you for the black pudding ABC)we set off and had a great time on the twisties of Buxton before relaxing on the final mile or so behind the inevitable wobblebox to land at Quacker's cafe. In the car park at Quacker's were the Jaguar Club, making for a wonderful display. This car is a SS100, well, we don't think it is actually, we think it is made of fibreglass so it's definitely not a 1939 car. I was a interested in the name, the SS stands for Swallow Sidecar (SS Cars Ltd used to build sidecars) and 100 is the theorectical maximum speed. It was a beautiful looking car and I think it was probably brand new, it looked it. Lunch at Quackers Apology for the rubbish photo, someone forgot her camera so it was all done from my phone, the breakfast one in Cupola was even worse, grrrrr. Let us know how your daughter went on in the London Marathon @ianali and the other Ian @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOon the parade in Windsor, how exciting. Thanks for coming everyone, hope you have enjoyed your cars as much as we have, see you next time xxx

Well Julie what a fabulous day driving around the Peaks we all had. Another beautiful route and fantastic weather. The sky was so blue and the sun was finally out and topped off with great company. Some great classic car out and about too. When we got to Quackers there was a Jaguar meet also.😎

For sale is my lovely Westfield 1700 Crossflow with twin webber 45’s, finished in Audi Nardo Grey. It underwent a full restoration in 2017 with a new carpeted interior, Williams harnesses, sports bucket seat, team dynamics wheels with Kumho v700 tyres amogst other things. All work is documented with receipts in the service history file. It was then repainted in Audi Nardo Grey in 2022 as part of a covid lockdown project. It’s a real head turner and I very often chat to passers by who fall in love with how it looks and sounds. A bit about the spec: Current mileage on the odometer is 2437 miles 1700 Ford Crossflow with twin webber 45 carbs Type 9 5-speed gearbox Sports exhaust SPAX coilovers Team Dynamics 13” alloys Kumho v700 tyres Sports seats with Williams harnesses. Weber throttle linkage Reconditioned Lucas starter motors with new internals To the best of my knowledge it has a Sierra/Westfield rear diff MOT is valid until June 16th 2024. Side doors included Wet weather hood included (but needs poppers installing to be able to use it) Seat runners included but not fitted (I am tall so have the seat bolted to the floor as far back as it goes. I installed a new Weber throttle linkage last Autumn before she went away for the winter, and since this upgrade it would benefit from a carb tune up to get it running its best. I sadly don’t have the skills or time. I have adjusted the asking price accordingly. In my ownership I have also had the Lucas starter motor rebuilt. If you are new to 7 cars don’t be put off by the xflow option. The car has a little over 100bhp so it goes well, but most of all it’s an authentic experience and the carbs sound wonderful. The car is the closest thing I’ve driven to a kart. It handles like it’s on rails. I’ve owned it for 2 years and I’m selling the car as I have a young family and I now need something that I can throw the kids in the back at the weekends. If anyone had a Mini Cooper JCW R56 or F56 I’d be interested in a px. Thanks all. Any other questions just ask. Dave 077733 09841 dave_clow00@yahoo.co.uk

Entirely not car related, but has been taking time away from fixing my car so now it’s done I can get the car sorted. We decorated my daughter’s playroom for her 10th birthday back in March and she was promised a desk, so I made this. Based around IKEA drawers salvaged from an old chest of drawers which has gone to the tip. All made from 12 and 18mm ply, drawer fronts refaced too to get rid of the MDF or whatever they use. I have finally taught myself how to use a router properly, and this project is the first not to have blood stains under the paintwork which I guess must be progress 🤣🤣

Just done this 😎

1st time MOT pass at Snow Hill Motors, Wolves after winter fettling - 🤝

Decent progress being made now, back on it's wheels after the front end rebuild and on a transporter to the painter on Friday evening 👍 I'm getting the roll bar repainted too, can anyone tell me the rose joint sizes as they seem to be different on top and bottom?

Meet at Cupola, Stoney Middleton, S32 4TF at 9.30am on Sunday 21st April for breakfast before heading into the hills of Buxton to enjoy driving in the Spring sunshine. We will finish, possibly at Quackers cafe, Bakewell for lunch and cakes. Who is joining us?

Love the smell of plywood and mostly plain wood while cutting etc . Miss those when only metal glasssfiber oil etc with cars ... Nice but is not pole position as wood.

I’ll be there.

You could sling a nice lightweight battery in while you're at it Chris. My new Jack Webb Motorsport one is just over 1½kgs! A really good weight saving on the one you have in it by the looks of it.

Oops! I seem to have lost an engine and gearbox… not to worry, new one being built by Richard Wragg at ProDev Engineering. Build thread to follow…

I love mine! 😍

Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of my control this event will not be happening! Hi everyone, the first of our usual two track days per year is on Friday, 24th May 2024. The format for this event will be the same as in previous years. Please read all of the details below and contact me as requested please. Also, please read the following disclaimer: ** To save the WSCC from any liability issues I have to let you know that the Curborough track days have been booked by Warwickshire Area Organisers independently (as they have been for the last 15 years) and are not therefore organised or sanctioned by the Westfield Sports Car Club. ** As usual we are keeping it to only 15 cars, with first choice on the limited number of places to Warwickshire Area WSCC members, then followed by the wider WSCC membership. If all the places are not filled, I will post it on the Warwickshire Area Facebook page and accept non-WSCC members to make up the numbers. I have arranged to have the on-site cafe provide us with food and drinks for the day. Clearly there is an additional cost for this, so the fee has been adjusted accordingly. As with all things at the moment, the costs have gone up again, therefore it will be £100 per car/driver, if all 15 places are filled. Any additional driver/passenger will be £16 to cover food (if required). I intend to open the gates around 9am, the track will open at 10am, with lunch from 1pm until 2pm and finishing at 5pm. The proposed fee will cover all the costs but any surplus will be donated to the appropriate WSCC charity (Air Ambulance). However, if we cannot fill all the places then I will have to ask for additional funds to cover the cost of the hire. Ideally, I would like to see all monies paid by the 17th May. These track days are often oversubscribed therefore we will keep a reserve list in case of last minute withdrawals, but if places are not filled, refunds for non-attendance cannot be guaranteed. Please follow the instructions below; 1. Send me a PM with your full name, an email address and a mobile number 2. Pay the full balance by bank transfer to the details I return to you, ASAP please 3. Read the menu below and indicate a lunch preference Menu Breakfast - bacon & egg or sausage & egg sandwiches Lunch - Burger & chips or curry & chips Drinks - tea, coffee & squash available all day (Other items may be purchased from the cafe on the day) Finally, due to the requirements of managing the track entrance I could do with at least one assistant who is prepared to attend and help with organising without driving or alternatively a few drivers to give up driving time to assist. Please message me if you wish to volunteer. This is always a great day and a safe way to explore the limits of your car and yourself with only one car on the circuit at a time. If you need any more information on this event, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I will add names to this list as they are booked: 1. Justin Lever 2. David Burr 3. Rob Hunter 4. Phil Dyke 5. Greg Penney 6. Nick Mucklow 7. Ian Heawood 8. Andy & Becky Gilbert 9. Hedley Bennett 10. Paul Medhurst 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Reserves Pulled out:

Somebody should snap this up! Love the colour 👌

Not Westfield but definitely car related OSF fog light on wife's car not working. Should be a 5 minute job to change the bulb....... The only way to get to the back of the fog light unit is to remove the front bumper. Which also required removal of front wheels to allow the inner arch liners to be removed to get to the bumber fixings. Ministry of crap design. Once the bumber was removed I could get access to the unit and found that the earth had come off the lamp unit. So 3 hours of my life I won't get back but at least I know how the bumber comes off 😛

Last time I did this type of thing, which was a couple of years ago, I went to my local print store. I was able to make sure they understood the requirements and they did a sample/proof before the full run to enaure it was right. For me this was much better than a point and click purchase.

Oh, that's just like me the other day when I needed the loo, forgot my phone, was trying to follow the SatNav directions and had my co-driver shouting in my ear...

Been debating whether to purchase some Compomotive CXRs, but decided to get the minilites powder coated Anthracite, which blends in nicely with all the carbon This: To this: Much better, if I don't mind saying myself😎

Have a great day @Alex Gaskin @Michael8 & @dingus120 🍺🎂🍺🎂🍺🎂

Nice Sky photo there 👍 Cars pretty lush as well.

Clares first trackday ever, novice session at Donington, she loved it. Even managed to get some heat into the tyres even though its was 2degC and blowing a gale. Might have to have his and her westfields now, I can see her taking over all track driving duties from now

Minnis Bay, Kent classic car night. Freezing cold, wet and windy but me and Rob enjoyed it

Parked up for a coffee at Bodnant gardens near Conwy. Next to me was this beauty, LD Integrale.

Hi all, anyone know where I can get an Isofix base for child seat for my Grandson Harrison? His mom said “no way” but I think you’re never to young to Westy 🫶🏼

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.

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!
