Cooked some lush black pudding scotch eggs 😁

Fab turnout to watch the Morgan 3 Wheelers today

Picked up my new car and burned up some more dinosaurs

Great day at Fuel Fest BHP 2024, sun was out all day , yes that is Petter Solberg rally car next to mine. No mine hasn't broken down, lots of keen people having a look at the mighty zetec.

Run out to Torque Moto cafe just north of Horsham, West Sussex, with Surrey group this morning.

Hi everyone, Just joined, thought I'd share a pic of my car at the National Kit Car show - what a fantastic day that was! Anyone in Hampshire/Surrey/Sussex area? Would love to know who you use for maintenance for when I don't have time, and, ahem, kit car friendly MOT's? 😬 Also, any local meet ups happening over the summer??

Whilst decorating my daughter’s play room (for her birthday in March), my Mum made the suggestion of building a window seat. During discussions about where to put the TV, I somewhat foolishly suggested making it rise up out of the window seat. In the end, I couldn’t quite manage that, but have built it into the lid which works very well. It has a couple of sprung pegs which lock it it place when lifted up, and a pull cord to retract them to put the lid down. Somewhat over budget and two months behind schedule it is a relief to get it finished finally, and just in time for the Canadian GP 😊 Oh, and yes it’s resemblance to a coffin has been noted 🤬🤣

Early this morning a few of us had debated the weather on the chat group before taking a brave pill and heading out. Thankfully the weather held and we avoided the showers! Heading down the lanes, I bumped into Lee so we had a fun high speed convoy for the last few miles. Landing at the Curburgring, it wasn't long before we had 6 Westfields, a Striker and a MEV Rocket. While chatting in the car park we also bumped into another local Westfield owner... fingers crossed we will have another new member quite soon! Some of us had been to watch this meet last year so knew to expect some really quirky motors and some fun track action. For those that don't know, the Morgan 3 Wheeler has an even longer heritage than the Lotus 7 and there were cars here today over 100 years old being put through their paces on track! Pre WW2 F series with Ford Sidevalve engine Pre-war V Twins, with F series and modern Morgan 3's in the car park Ever complained that your Westfield is difficult to start? This will put it in perspective 😂 Not sure if these guys were brave or bonkers! How about an "MX3"!? Brilliant to see everyone as always, hope you had a safe trip home!

Welcome to the club Phil. I can honestly say joining the WSCC has been one of the best things kitcar-wise I've ever done. So many clever, knowledgeable and helpful people on here it's amazing!

Hi Julie, If the weather looks good then I hope to be there, am currently trying to sell my Westfield so this may give me the opportunity to promote the car to likeminded people. Steve

No problem, I will let you know when it’s ready to post, then you can give me the address etc.

Thanks everyone for your info. Just changed radiator and ready to go!

What does S2000+S2000 + 2 X Sport 250 equal? Let's ask someone good with numbers A cracking Euro road trip! @Si.Dalziel @Jim cunliffe& @Tim.Coles are joining me for this years pilgramage to the Alps. We're departing on the 27th June and spending 4 nights in Austria before heading over to new territory - The Dolmomites for 3 nights. We were 'blessed' with our first obstacle shortly after booking the train in January from Düsseldorf to Innsbruck and return, to be advised due to work on the lines, they can no longer transport us from Düsseldorf and we can now travel from Hamburg instead! Just great! We've now got a 328 mile blat from Rotterdam to Hamburg in less than 12 hours, which means it will need to be Autobahn- I just hope @Si.Dalziel & @Jim cunliffe behave at this point and don't try a rematch of which is the fastest - S2000 or Sport 250! They both won 'prizes' for their last attempt in Wales! We'll provide trip updates on the Westfield FB group and here too (as and when time allows).

It's the Cars and Coffee event at Great British Sports Cars, Maun Way, Ollerton, Newark, NG22 9ZD, 10am-2pm. All cars are welcome. Who is joining us?

Breakfast meeting time again. Sunday 16th June from 10am at The Darrington Hotel, Darrington, Pontefract, WF8 3BL. See you there.

Thank you to all who attended and helped out, another great weekend of Westfielding as Clarkson would say 😎

Thanks Rob! Seems like a great bunch in the club. Even out and about there seems to be a good community. Malvern was brilliant, and the location certainly helped! We're fairly handy but no experience of Westy's and sometimes, just downright lazy...I've been known to pay somebody to do an oil change on my bike when I'm not in the mood 😆

Yes I have opened them on my route app on my Iphone, they are free to create and view but you need a trail or subscription to navigate the route on this particular app.

you can load them into google maps and use that on your Iphone. https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=169&q=open+gpx+file+google+maps&cvid=e888aeb47ed24b3bb91cf16f0fc1197d&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEAAYQDIGCAAQABhAMgYIARBFGDkyBggCEAAYQDIGCAMQABhAMgYIBBAAGEAyBggFEAAYQNIBCDI4MzBqMGoxqAIAsAIA&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=EDGEDB

Looking for 4 off Compomotive CXR 7x13 Ford PCD ET 20 or thereabouts, prefer anthracite if possible, with or without tyres.

Sold mine on FB marketplace in a few days. It was a bargain though 😁 You just need to be very wary of the complete and utter nerbheeds that populate the place!

Not in your area but welcome to the club from another Phil R in Wolves - car & colours look superb 👍

Hi Phil. I'm in Andover so only just in Hampshire. I missed going to Malvern as I need an MOT and want to put some miles on the car before driving it far. Your car look great by the way.

Welcome, Let's hope you bring some sunshine to the south. I'm just south of Petersfield And there's another member in Liphook. Where are you in Hants? I use a local kit car friendly garage that's been MOTing mine for 20+ years Hope to see you around David

I bumped into Nigel Trilk on Sunday and we had a brief chat about the Tipo 184. Apparently, Westfield have partnered with Ant Anstead (Dowsett Classic Car Company) to help with bringing the car to market (build support, parts supply etc). Since the one Ant originally built, there has been some development work on the car such as strengthening and lengthening the chassis. Nigel reckons that it's a real hoot to drive (very like the 50's race car it mimics), will be able to be IVA'd and will weigh around 700kg.

Welcome from South Derbyshire! Glad you enjoyed Malvern, the car is a stunner! Most of us tend to do most maintenance ourselves, you'll get plenty of help and advice on here and even an extra pair of hands from local members of you need it 👍

Well, it was bound to happen one day... Whist packing up a returns box to CBS, I made a great job of packing and used the last of the gaffer tape on the box. Only to realise I had left the free postage sticker inside the box !!!!!!!!!. Wasn't that cheap after all to send this back, need to buy another roll of gaffer now

Hi all Final call for people interested in having there car on the clubstand I will let them know final numbers in the week 🙂👍 Jason

Hi Julie I can’t make this one as it my day in work as I’m just started my weekends again. However there a possibility that my tiger will be there though as I’m dropping it off to them this Monday coming for some work to be carried out on it. So depending on how long they having it for you will see it.

🤣 Ruby loved it, thanks so much for taking her out @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO! She had a great time at the show

A few pics of a great weekend from me- Mr. Wig, Mrs. Wig and a strange fella from Portugal Famous on Youtube- @HB46443 Glorious sunrise @Hadz on reflection, Westfield Ave is looking great! @Howden Insurance - Specialist Vehicle I'll do anything to lower my premium, even if it involves demostrating I can drive sensibly to a Kitchen Fitter's daugher 😉 Good to have a brief chat with @Nigel Trilk - Westfield Sportcars Ltd

Lovely car! We were parked near you and enjoyed looking over the car and reading about it 👍

They are all here but unfortunately have the photobucket watermark over the pictures now

It's a fantastic model, well done. Do you have a link to your blog? It appealed even more so as its similar to my own blue over black FW too.

@SteveG its my home build one off, I've various blog entries from when I built it starting out as my previously owned green V8 aeroscreen westy then I rebuilt it when I bought my blue FW 😎

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator

Excellent show, really enjoyed it. Well done to the club for putting on a great stand too. Sadly wasn't in mine, as the whole family wanted to come. Next year though... I have to ask - the lego model on W7 OOV in the tent... is that an official kit, a home build, or was it commissioned in some way?

I'd seen the photo, but oh my word they do not do it justice! Stuart's right, the road book, and in fact the whole package is a work of art! What an amazing job; so looking forward to this weekend - even wore my hat on the way home from Malvern last night.

Trying to figure out a 25 year old ECU.

Thought I'd give an update given I've just collected the car again... The garage did some tests before they dived in head deep into the engine and the upshot is that what you see in the header tank is rust/residue/crud from not driving it over winter. It's not oil and I'm not losing oil into the coolant after all. However, a leak test revealed some cylinders leaking upto 40%, and that combined with oily plugs (new ones fitted this winter) it seems my engine is now a heavy drinker of the black (the other black) stuff. Advised to check frequently, top up when needed and start saving for a full engine rebuild...
