A bit of car spotting at our meet at Curborough yesterday

With a small weather window, this wasn't the longest of meets but we had a fab turnout! Ben is always a helpful kind of guy so had assisted the Curborough horticultural team with removing molehills with his splitter 😂 The main line up.... We were also joined by Tim and Steve For an Aston Martin Owners Club meet, there were surprisingly few Astons about but plenty to look at in the car park and paddock. 1956 DB/4 Mk2 Rare Abarth 695SS Stunning Mk1 Escort, complete with aluminium 2.0 BDG. It's also in the livery of the car Russel Brooked wrote off in spectacular style at the 1973 RAC Rally in Sutton Park. An absolutely mint Mk2 Jaguar 3.4 Another car that caught my eye was this 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe, very subtle rat rod look on lovely polished black steelies 😍 Great to see everyone, we'll be back on Friday for the Warwickshire track day and then it's off to Newark!!!

Great to get back out after a week off the road. Just a pain having to climb out to close my gates...

Currently 32 people have booked to come which is brilliant. I’ve been chatting to the venue who originally said 30 was the maximum and we have managed to ‘stretch’ the numbers. If you are thinking of coming but have not booked, please please make your mind up, change shifts etc and claim your space before I have to start a ‘reserve’ list!!

Keep at it - this car will be perfect by the time you've finished! To be fair, at 4k you weren't too far from the limiter anyway.

Decided to get the document that the bank sent me to fill out for my business account tax info. Unfortunately my Cockapoo puppy got there first… butter wouldn’t melt eh?

That’s it, place a deposit Friday.

Heavy duty, cake and ice cream eating spec....

I reckon if a pair of them came up for sale on WSCC it could start WW3 😁

Definitely stick some LED battens up - I fitted some from Screwfix a couple of years ago. Night & day compared to fluorescent tubes.

Here’s a better shot of your car Scott courtesy of @Apc1x

Really think I'd show my hand.....

They'd make great calendar contest shots but they have to be in landscape mode....... ......hears the sound of @Craigieboystarting his Westy and cussing

We're travelling down from Scotland on Saturday afternoon to attend the show on Sunday. In a tin top though 🤷‍♂️ Looking forward to it, but I might just leave my wallet at home... 😬

Weather depending I'm coming up from Northampton... not decided on a route or time yet, so if anything is arranged, please put it on the forums so I can see if I'm able to tag along 👍

Free bud for you with car minus the fuel of course🤪

I going on the A17 and meeting up with Bigfoot Tony and jon christie. Should be there at 9am all being well.

i may be being a bit dull but, do I need a ticket if its just me and my kit car? i understand its free but some places still like numbers.

Bottom or side mounts ? and what width? ( I many have a couple)

Had mine out to swap the harness and it was just over 10kg including the adjustable seat runner

I’m sure mine were more like 12-15kg from memory

Another thumbs up for the Cobra seat shop (Carnoisseur). Ordered on Wednesday afternoon and arrived today, plus they were great to deal with over the phone.

By the time the garage is finished, you'll need to sell the Westy to pay for it! 😂

You should be able to fit led's to your fittings and save having to buy the whole thing.

Yeah, I've got screwfix ones too. Very bright and great for detailing. I really liked the way you wired them up, made it a doddle to link them together. I did a bit of research and looked at plenty of ebay ones, but you just don't know what you're getting. Another vote for the screwfix ones 👍

I fitted some V-Tac 757 VT-8-80 6ft battens that have a 8600lm output, bought from CPC Farnell, but they don’t seem to stock them anymore. Ive found this site that do them though 👍🏼 https://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/v-tac-80w-cool-white-led-batten-1820mm.html?utm_source=shopping_feed&utm_medium=organic&srsltid=AfmBOorDKiVP4SzgLUK0uIKWDMisz49ruP3R2JFjuRubAsYg42zKKsirhsI

Time for our regular monthly get together for the usual chat and tyre kicking! Hope to see you all there. I know some will be preparing for our track day on the following day so they may not make it. Talking of the track day, there are still places available. Message me if you are interested.

Good work Stu. Are you gunna re-position your lights? Couple of nice LED battens 👌🏼

Got up a bit earlier and finished off the final racks this morning. They look great! Just need to bolt them together now to keep them lined up and rigid before getting them filled. I’ve left a nice little gap at the back so I can access both sides of the garage easily.

Is camping for kit car drivers free? Also is it just a case of rocking up or do we need to get tickets ahead of time? Thinking of heading up straight after the Warwickshire Curborough Track Day. Clearly depends on events of the day though 🤣 Thanks.

Started off at 9am sunny and fresh, making a 20 miles to a local cars and coffee. After a little bit of tyre kicking and a coffee decided to meet a mate a gasoline juice, jump is to enjoy 30 miles of country road. after another coffee and a chat decided to make my way back, but then shortly after being on the road I had the pleasure of enjoying the wet stuff for the next 50 minutes 😢. The difference in the weather in 5 hours, but overall a good drive had.

Tillets the same as my old yellow Westfield. Turbo seats are 7kg each, the Tillets are 3.7kg each.

As it's the end of summer, and it's throwing it down with rain, I suppose you can't blame people for staying at home and not getting their Westfields out. I got mine out, then decided the 11 miles was too far in the rain. Well done to @Nicholas Rycroft and Julie for coming over from Scarborough. And to Des'n'Debs (@Breakable?) for letting me see my possible future!

Was out with some actual Westfields yesterday. Had a cracking run up to Hartside. This one was at Derwent Reservoir

Hi All, I am unable to create events in the Events Calendar currently so thought that the next best thing would be to post up here. So, here are the dates for the next few months: 25th September 2024 23rd October 2024 27th November 2024 18th December 2024 (TBD at this stage, just a proposal to avoid Chrimbo) Meetings are held at The Halfway House pub near Cullompton, starting at 7.30pm and running through until around 10pm. See you there 👍 Would be good to have a bit of a planning session at the September meet to get some ideas of what we would like to do over the next year.

Nice to be out with some westys

Snowdonia - Saturdays atmospheric run out

A last minute Blat up to the Ponderosa Cafe this afternoon with the leg-end @Terence Arthur, a great little drive out, decent weather, lovely roads and 20 mph limits still in towns/villages 🫣 - next trip out Newark 🙌

Got them, thanks

Offer to buy it from him as a non runner at a reduced price that's the way too get a good deal

Paul and Margaret are coming 🎅🧑‍🎄

Ali and me will be there. Also booked a room so Ali can have wine 😊👍

That might be true. It also might not be true. Only one needs to be replaced. The other ones can be replaced at your leisure over the winter. In the meantime, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, just get out and drive it.

@Labratluke and Gemma are coming!!

@Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AOand Sue are coming!!

@Jakejmageeand Laura are coming!!

Finally sorted to get the day off !! So we’re coming as well , Andy & Becky

Car has been sold and collected. So next is to go through the loft and sell everything I have Westfield related You have been warned
