Best David Attenborough voice… ”And here we find “The Wench”, a Westfield SEi in Post Office Red, now recovered from her recent mechanical maladies and looking resplendent in her full plumage, displayed in her frequent natural habitat, the country pub, after a spirited blat.” It’s times like these when I fall in love with her all over again. 🥰

Competed in my first Autosolo today, great fun and I won a prize. 😆

Stunning weather brought out some beautiful cars at Donington yesterday

At the time I didn't know it was your car but I have a picture saved in my phone folders to show the wrapper an example if what I'd like 😂

The weather was fantastic which means only one thing.... loads of cars. What a fabulous turnout we had, sitting in the sunshine with 12 kits and Dels TR6 in the car park! Over 20 of us on the picnic benches (it was far too hot to sit in our normal upstairs room....), we even had three lovely, well behaved dogs come along too 😂 We were joined for the first time by Ady and Lisa who have just bought a lovely Zetec Westfield and joined the club. Welcome to you both, hope you enjoyed the evening 👍 A few snaps of the beautiful cars....

Just a smartphone shot for me I’m afraid. Winston tucked back in the garage after finishing the new roof. Plenty to do before he is back in permanently, not least painting the walls and floor and cleaning his Carcoon.

Years ago a mate of mine was finishing off a half built Dutton Sierra and it was taking him so long that he bought one of those to tide him over till it was finished. I helped him with a lot of stuff on them. I spent a couple of days helping him to fit the windscreen on the Sierra; the aperture wasn't quite the right shape and it took a lot of creative swearing to get it in. At the end I wasn't sure that it wouldn't just pop out at the first speed bump. He was still running about in it (and trying to finish the Sierra) when I lost contact with him about 20 years ago. D

BTTT for anybody who has not yet read.............................the best never ending story ever 😁

correct... (same as last year) welcome to the future 😍

Me +1 😜

@Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset is the orange noseband and stripe painted or stick on? Great looking car that.

Can I be on the list, just me.

Yes please.. 2 of us...for our annual outing😄 Pm sent for Bacs info

Me too, please!

Was in a similar situation a couple of years ago, the asbestos corrugated roof was replaced with a steel one which looks much better and is weather proof. What is currently driving me crazy is that every time I’m working in the garage, one or more pigeons are landing and walking over the roof, making a racket. I’ve got a pole I use to bash on the underside of the roof to frighten them away. i also have a neighbour whose eight year-old son is football mad, and if one his errant kicks lands his football on the roof, the noise inside the garage is incredible. Disappointingly, I’m told I can’t use the same pole on the eight year-old. Pity.

As you already know Andy we're in too please.

Meeeeeee, well uuuuusssss

Those doors are crying out for a Gulf paint scheme...😉

My days of the old 35mm SLR are long gone too 😂 These were just off my phone 👍

A Dutton making quite a nice noise passing our house today.

A few arty shots of members cars I took at Donington

Just innocently helping Glen clean the car after last Sunday’s run out and our neighbour fetched her granddaughter over for a driving lesson. Was happy to oblige ❤️

How many of you have just winced at the term 'Christmas'?? And yes - NOVEMBER - is not a typo. Wanted to keep things fresh and obviously be the 1st.

Scottish Sporting Car Club event at Ardeer, Ayrshire.

Disappointed to miss the scooters. A lifetime ago I had a Lambretta. With lots of mirrors, chrome and other trick bits......

Great to see her back out! Looking 👌

The route is listed below, please set up your satnavs From the car museum turn left for The Malt Shovel, DE4 4GP Hollybush Inn, Grangemill Go to the George Hotel, Youlgreave, DE45 1WN and turn right so we miss out Bakewell Lady Manners School, Bakewell Millers Dale Car Park, Wormhill Devonshire Arms, Peak Forest, SK17 8EJ Cupola Cafe, Stoney Middleton, S32 4TF where we will stop for lunch, if it is busy we will defect to Quackers but every time we have been past it, it has been reasonable. There will be 150 scooters at the car museum from 8am to 10am so if it is busy we will be in the overflow car park in the far right hand corner. Looking forward to seeing you all xxxxxx

Cool! That was on a good drive, along the coast road through Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury. There is a lay-by where you could overlook Chesil beach and Portland, lovely stuff. You can just see Little Lorna in the passenger seat 😊

It’s actually painted. The thin black stripes are stuck on, some bits need replacing but I’ve sorted them for now with black insulating tape which looks fine. Need to source the correct stuff sometime, I have the contact of the guy who did the full paint job so will check with him when I need it.

Me, too please.

😁😁. Texted you the bacs stuff.

Congratulations @Glynn Walters you are the first. Money received and menu chosen. 1st class. 😁

As long as there aren’t any problems!!!!! We will be there A&B

Here’s a picture of mine on the ramps.

I Should be there👍

The lift isn't that long. When the car is square over the top, the wheels are on the ground. The lift then lifts a conventional car under the sills on the jacking points. The westfield is too narrow at the front to put the blocks on the lift platform. It's a great piece of kit

I bow down to your clearly superior knowledge of dog's protein pumps @Kingster😉

Finished the main job at about 12, all panels fixed in place. Had to cut four panels down for the last part so it worked well at the end wall, looks good. Just the finishing fascia boards and guttering to do now 👍 Apologies to anyone with OCD for the uneven window spacing, it was just how it fell in terms of the internal wall and the width of the panels. We tried to keep them over each garage, works ok from inside.

Good progress today. We got a bit delayed by confusion over whether the boards were ‘handed’ or not. At one stage, to be more efficient, we decided to cut the corners off three boards at once and just turn one of them round. Big mistake! It turns out that they do need to be run in the same direction otherwise the corrugations (is that a word?) don’t quite match up. This cost us a fair bit of time phaffing around trying to work out what was going wrong and having to turn heavy boards around whilst up on the roof. Anyway, I reckon we are 80% done now. Just one run with a clear panel in it, and then two solid runs to finish. We will need to cut the last two runs down to fit the width but have a good angle grinder so that shouldn’t take long and at least they will be lighter to lift up. It is heavy going in this heat with no shade up there to speak of. We are trying to do things diligently, putting mastic across the joints and ensuring the clear panels are fixed correctly. Hopefully it won’t leak! Pleased with how it looks though and we should be all done tomorrow including sorting the edge boards and guttering. Winston is keen to be back in his new home! Might have to be temporary for a while until the walls and floor are done. First clear panel done Much better lighting with the two panels Let me in already! Done for the day

Aw brilliant, it's amazing the attention they get from children, must be because they look like toy cars.

I have used GTechniq products for years, I think they are excellent.

Not used this one before, hopefully enough left for the storm cover too.

Mrs Stu and I helped with organising my Dad’s 90th Birthday party yesterday. My main contribution was erecting a canopy over the garden stretched between the house, and his old windsurfing mast which served as a flagpole. He did his national service in the Navy and has a lifelong love of the sea so we did a naval theme. I had to climb out of the bedroom window to drill bolts into the outside wall which was actually a lot less scary than I thought it would be. Most traumatic part of the day was definitely half an hour before the party was due to start, when I was trying to tension the canopy a little more and accidentally disconnected the main supporting wire instead! 🤣🤣 I was calling for help from the top of the ladder whilst desperately hanging onto it so it didn’t trash all the flowers underneath. Mrs Stu came to the rescue and I got it sorted with about ten minutes to spare 🤣. Party went well, happy Dad 👍

After months of blood, sweat and tears to fix The Wench, happiness is a successful MOT test.

Great piece of kit. Mate of mine has the same one. 👍

Unfortunately i cant make it as im on standby 😞

Mrs Stu says no, unfortunately 😭
