Went to a local multi make car club this evening, furthest I have driven it so far and came back in the dark, another first !

In good company at Brooklands this evening….

Hope it's better than last year!

they’re all like that. the only way to get a decent panel gap between the bonnet and scuttle is the fit the tub off centre. If you’re in any way OCD don’t measure the widths of the rear arches or the difference in height for the rear lights 😀

A lovely red Lotus Elan for me, spotted in the car park at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall today before we headed home after five days away.

Would be up for this - but the car is far from ready at the moment!!

I would if i finished work at a decent time lol. Spoke to matt from gbs today and i said i would if i could. We are planning to do the drive out with gbs in september.

I find it difficult to take the town of Newark seriously after someone pointed out to me that Newark is an anagram of W⚓️.

I’m sure that’s the steering wheel from my 1970’s pram wheel based wooden pallet go-cart….

Hi Members! WSCC will be attending the Newark Kit Car Festival Sat 21st / Sun 22nd September 2024 at Newark Showground NG24 2NY What to expect? Lots of kit cars, Lots of Manufacturers, WSCC Gazeebo, Westfield Avenue, cake(s), bonnets off, mystery WSCC gift, WSCC racing SIM, beer, camping, snoring and hopefully good weather. https://newarkkitcarfestival.co.uk/ Camping is available from midday Friday 20th September and a few of us will be going on Friday to set up the club pitch. If you want to assist please shout up and it will be much appreciated, otherwise hopefully see lots of club members over the weekend.

Interesting video - I had no idea these secret toll roads existed, but I can’t say I’m surprised.

We will be there too! There is a possibility of my Westfield making a re-appearance too...........well, it's a definite maybe!

Sadly whoever built it did it “by the book” and took the build manual as Gospel 🤣 I ended up building mine “by eye” which meant throwing away the rule book but I ended up with balanced looking wheel arch alignment. But getting all of the shut lines looking good just seemed impossible (replace the “u” with an “i” in shut lines to be more accurate) As others have inferred it is something that you tend to ignore once you start to enjoy the car for what it was designed to do (make you grin) 😁

Said hello. All tucked up nicely 😁.

Yes I think they’d be happy to work on any seven type kits, very knowledgeable guys. They were rebuilding an 80s Lotus F1 car when I was there!

Spotted in Biggar, out a run for lunch and a beer 🍺

I maintain I'm keeping the factory fitted style sealed beam headlights as they are "proper". ...Until I drive it in the dark and vow to repalce them. The cycle continues after daybreak.

I've been pretending not to notice this on mine for over a year now.

I've still never driven my Westfield in the dark 💡

I'll be there, hoping to come down on Friday for the set up.

Hopefully I will but it will be about 7 ish as I finish work at 6

We will be there!!

Posted on to @RickRack they are great thankyou

I've posted on the FB Social site also @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator

After my first attempt at sealing my new sump failed, I ordered a new gasket. As I had a few days wait anticipated for the new one, I decided to pull the sump to be ready. Gasket came away in one piece so I thought why not have a go at resealing it. I did this a couple of days ago. 100 odd miles later and no sign of a leak. Rather than try and cancel the new gasket i thought I’d just keep it as a spare..this has arrived just now. Invoice in box says gasket, my eyes tell me otherwise. Anyone know what I’ve received?

Morrisons in Amble, spotted by my old man. Anyone in the group?

Standard fuel gauge readings: Full = full Full with a twitching needle = 3/4 full 3/4 full = just over 1/2 full 1/2 full = 1/3 full 1/3 full with twitching needle = 1/4 full 1/4 full = look for fuel 1/4 full with a twitching needle = look for fuel NOW Under 1/4 full = what are you playing at?!? Avoid roundabouts and right turns to prevent fuel starvation 1/8 full = you’re out of fuel and have time to post in the “Sharing what you’ve just done. Not questions. No comments required.” thread

TADTS - They all do that, sir! Fuel gauge is there simply for amusement purposes. Always use and reset the trip odometer after refuelling. I don’t let mine go past 110 miles before refuelling.
