At the Powderham Historic Vehicle Gathering today, between rain showers!

Nice run out with Kitnet this morning to Five Zeros Supercars. Great place to visit with an interesting showroom, event space and nice diner. Breakfast was cracking.

France, here we come...

Hi Julie, I am tempted. Mum recovering well from her stroke a few weeks back, hence it will be a last minute decision. Switzerland looked amazing. You had a great time I am sure. Andy

Just passed us heading towards Gloucester.

I might come along for breakfast!

Awesome! Really looking forward to it now and meeting everyone!

But he may sell you a Westfield, you didn't know you needed 😉

We in the humble fens like our carrots and crunching them too. We are not rabbits but a little eccentric who have a lot of fun. Not many beautiful places around here to take idyllic pics so we are going to do something different and a bit bonkers. Follow one bags mighty travels from the humble start at malvern. Follow Baggy on its travels with a unique twist on promoting Westfield. We start off in Canada with our John and Lynn.

….. what you can get on the back of a Westfield! Coming home from Powderham today. Car was pretty low with two up aswell, but coped very well.

Right, catching up slowly here, the route is an easy one tomorrow so you can set your sat navs if you like. We are off up to the Ladybower Dams tomorrow because we enjoyed it so much as the last leg of our Trip Up North. So the first point is FAIRHOLMES CAR PARK S33 0AQ we will use this to turn around and finish for lunch at BIRD CAFE, HATHERSAGE, S32 1EG Looking forward to getting out in the car and seeing you all XXXXXX especially Steve's new car!

Mot passed 👌

Taking pooch for a walk on a lovely mid summer day ☔️

I will also try to go to that if the weather is decent and i'm free. May also try and go to Oulton park gold cup the weekend before. Its a bit of a journey down there but may try to join at some point if possible.

@Vlad Just had a reply from Stacey. "Hiya, yes of course that's fine...just direct him to your stand! ☺️" So its all good 👍

It's 3 figures plus vat. Which is fine for their expertise and difficult engine work, but humdrum fitting stuff, I'd look elsewhere...

We may be joining 😁

A mate has 2 tickets for the England v Spain final on Sunday. He paid £360 each, including flights but he didn't realise when he bought them months ago that it was going to be the same day as his wedding 🤦🤦 If you're interested, he is looking for someone to take his place? It's at Guildford Registry Office, at 3pm. The bride's name is Sarah, she's 5'7" & quite attractive. Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽🍺️

I've recently did my V8 bonnet vents using some mesh and these 3D printed press templates. You can find the 3D model files in my post here, but I appreciate that not everyone has access to a printer or the skills to design something themselves. So I'd like to hereby offer these free of charge to members who can then use them to press bonnet vents in his/hers preferred mesh. All I'm asking is to cover the postage to your address and once you're finished with them, offer them up to the next person under the same terms. @HB46443 has first dibs 👍

How would I go about setting up a South Wales local group? I was AO for the area about 10 years ago before I sold my first car, and now I’m back in ownership would be good to get a local area running (I think there are a few South Wales owners). Plus we are not far from Bristol and Bath our Hertfordshire So joint events in the summer could be an option.. Happy to be the AO to get it going - but what’s the process for getting started?

Meet at Quackers 10am for refreshments before heading out for a run around the Peak District. Who is joining us?

Hi all, Recently purchased the Westfield from club member Steve J in north wales. So far i'm happy with the car and will be looking for advice on parts and upgrades soon. Not sure how active the local club is but wouldn't mind joining people on a drive who happen to find them self's in the mid Wales area. Was waiting for a nice day to take it out and get better pictures but i have given up.

This solution of marking the towing points on roll hoop / cage is accepted in a lot of Motorsport disciplines and like others never had a problem at track days.

Dry when I got up but yeah it was lashing down when I left for my prebooked appointment. To find the old guy hadnt booked it in as the computer was busy when I rang. Still squeezed me in and nothing to report 👌 i got quite a few looks driving there 🤣

What about Abingdon ?

Yeah he had a long shower 🤣 snoozing now 👍

I see you also have the Westfield weather luck, my MOT guy knows when it's going to rain because I'm on my way!

Welcome to our clubs car meet occurring on Sunday 14th July at The Barge Inn, Battlesbridge, SS11 7RE. at 09:30- 10:00 ish!! All are welcome, no matter what kitcar you drive! It is a great morning to speak with likeminded petrol heads and kit car enthusiasts about our beloved passions, Westfields.

The reason I mention it is that we have a group of us just over the bridge in the Bristol region. We do occasionally get over into South Wales for a blat.

Hi Jason, lovely looking car & welcome to this fantastic club - mid-Wales there’s a number of members / cars that go to the National Iron Works Oswestry see photo if weather permits Sat 4th Aug - hope to see ya soon Phil R

Never had a towing eye in 20 years of trackdays. The one time I did need a tow, we used a soft strap around the front wishbone. Because of the low weight of the car it does no damage. Also if you have a cage, a soft strap round that is sufficient for a tow.

I seriously wish I could, the weather looks great atm but sadly I'm nowhere near you. I plan to be out somewhere though. I was thinking, sunny dry weather, 6pm, England v Spain on TV, the roads will be like Christmas Day! 👌🌞🌞🌞👌

It’s a 2 part journey anyway 😜 Saturday up the coast road via Padstow,Boscastle then fish&chips in Woolacombe, Sunday is the coast road via Lynton/Lynmouth, Porlock (boring going downhill ☹️ more fun going up 🤪) Minehead and Dunster, then waiting till late when everyone is watching a football match for the mad dash home with no traffic 🤞

It’s a no from us ……… you can see why 🤪 have a great day and catch you all soon A&B

Grindlewald, Switzerland to see the North Face of the Eiger. This photo was taken on our walk up the Foulhorn last Monday.

Andrew doesn't come here that often Call him he doesn't bite

I don't bother, just stick some "tow" stickers on your roll bar, they can use that if needs be. You can see the stickers on my MSA bar (white at the fromt, yellow on the rear).

A few more. It was also a short hill climb event. Very bored with all the Ferraris and Lambos. Was one Atom and a Caterham 500. Got an invite to take the Westy next year. And yes a lot of the owners were in their 20s!

Actually, the line is there because my print bed isn't large enough to print it in one piece, so I had to glue two pieces together Happy to be called clever though 🤣

Sandwich the mesh between the male and female press templates. Use two planks of wood to spread the force equally on the outside of the templates. Clamp them together with some clamps Put in a vice and squeeze

I would love to come, but unfortunately I’m camping in north wales. maybe next time, have fun .

Afraid knot…boating at mo.. plus car still broken as I’ve not been home to fix it.. have a good one all 👍
