Another great blast around the Peak District. Great fun with the gang.

Nice little Westfield sticker from Demon Graphics Here. Really pleased with the quality and how well it went on.

What a great day out around the Peaks with great views and great company. Thanks Julie for organising another fantastic day. We both had wonderful day. See you all soon.

I’m omnipresent. My sole objective in life amongst the membership is to create uncertainty and fear without lifting a finger. Having said that, be afraid - be very afraid. You’ll never know until I strike. It might be a change of avatar or changing your mailing address to something evil, but my capacity for gratification through mischief is legendary and wide ranging.

There are some great photo's there, brilliant, thank you for posting them and your lovely comments. We met at the car museum for breakfast, table for 16. Hey what a great club we are in, Stu turned up with spare gearbox mounts in his pocket for us and advice on how easy a job it is to change them, what a great guy thank you. Parked at our very favourite car museum Dan arrived after the photo's and you can't leave his great car out, so here we go, the full line up of 10 cars Glynn had to wiz off to sunny Spain, leaving the 9 car convoy to trap on through the Peak District. You can really tell the tourists have gone, every road was empty apart from the odd tractor, well 2 actually. The clouds lifted enough so we could enjoy the views, although the sunshine was not coming out to play today. It was quite freezing so Glen decided we needed to go to the warm pub at Hulme End rather than the cafe, thankfully everyone followed me despite this change. Parked at The Manifold Inn Here we are preparing for the humongous Sunday lunches Here is one of the offending items, delicious, we are definitely coming back here. Service was excellent too. I had the 3 Andy's with me and they have a reputation of being hungry, especially for cake, I didn't want to disappoint so off we went to Wetton Tea Rooms, where they bake all their own cakes. Again you could tell the tourists have gone, the car park was empty. I love winter for our Westfield outings, the cars run well and the roads are empty, we operate unhindered. Parked at Wetton Summer Fruits Cake, there's jam and then there's jam, this is Wetton jammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Our Chairman chose well Andy Westwood had the Bakewell Cake, not once but twice, it was that good Unbelievably here is the seconds Tiramisu cake for the other Andy Leaving the other Andy lurking in the background also eating cake but avoiding my lens Fantastic day out, Sue, just remind Glen, is it Saga or Tui for the cruise? good laughs as well as good advice floating across the table. Thanks for coming everyone, see you next time, don't SORN or you will miss all the fun!

4 cars made it to the show today. A little chilly as the day went on. A good selection of cars there.

If you want to preserve the date of the MOT and get the full year’s worth, then yes I think you can only book up to one month in advance, otherwise you’ll set a new due date and eat into the year period. But as @Flying Carrot Steve says, you can book an MOT at any time and it will be valid for a year

100% there this month! Maybe.

Sorry Sir, it wasn't me! T'was a big boy with an orange face said it and ran away....

Hopefully be there.

A few of us have come to watch the rally stages at Castle Combe Circuit today. Here’s a couple photos of my favourites so far.

Please Note the very change for this month, while the normal venue has work done. We’re at the Swettenham Arms, Swettenham Ln, Swettenham, Congleton CW12 2LF Normal time(s) those eating get there around 7pm ish, and 7.30 pm for chatting, tyre kicking etc!

There has been a steady decline in numbers of competitors in the WSCC Speed Series over the years and the SSOT has been considering what to do to change things to make it once more an attractive series to be in. in 2024 we opened the Championship up to all 7' type cars to try and increase the competition, but there has not been a great take up off this. So to endeavour to bring more people in we are re-launching the series under the name 7's Speed Series. To find out more please read the enclosed PDF explaining the changes. We hope you will get on board with this and that 2025 can be a more successful year. 7s SS draft Sept 24.docx.pdf

Fitted a new air filter today. It's a bit smaller than the old one... Now I have a gap to fill! 😂

I'd just say seats. Go with the most minimal description that's not actually a lie 🙄

they’re not car seats, they’re gaming chairs. use the app and collect at home service and you don’t need to worry about counter staff 😏

You need to be careful about what you send parcel force that's car related. From their website: Car Parts, panels, doors, bumpers and bonnets are prohibited. Other car parts are acceptable as long as packaging guidelines are followed. You need to be very careful with your descriptions of parcel contents and even then you can get a jobsworth behind the counter. Not surprising really when the two sentences contradict each other somewhat.

Wrap well first with bubble wrap, then pallet wrap and send with parcel force. It’ll cost you around £10 in wrapping materials and £15 postage. Here’s an example of some fibreglass bodywork I sent last year.

Try https://clicktrans.com/transport/united-kingdom/ I have used this service in Poland for gearbox, engine, windsurfing board with sails etc... even whole not finished kitcar on wheels with engine, gearbox, panels etc - from Belgium (to Poland) , dont remember what else. Always fair price and there is a real person, not company with call center, on the other side of transaction.

I thought it was only bookable one month before due date?

Parcel force all the way never have a problem Evri are cowboys

Give up a few days or so, they normally start high then drop down. Have you input an accurate size and weight, that often helps reduce the cost.

Try getting a quotation from Shiply. I’ve used them to collect and deliver wheels and other large awkward items.

I have a Nationwide Flex Plus bank account which costs £18 a month but gives us: annual family travel insurance Europe wide breakdown coverage and it’s AA in the UK - including my motor home Family phone insurance If you need all 3 it’s a good deal

Get out your bed early and take the X5 or the Jag 😂

Have a look at Money Saving Expert. I had a similar renewal price for exactly the same package but got it for £76.99 by cancelling auto renewal and taking out a new policy using an MSE code

If my memory serves me correctly weren’t you testing the water temperature and depth at this point @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative 🤪

We are going to finish at Hulme End. We will go via The Malt Shovel, Wirksworth, DE4 4GP The Rising Sun, Middleton, DE4 4LS Carriages, Newhaven, SK17 0DU Packhorse Inn, Crowdecote, SK17 0DB Hulme End, Tea Junction Cafe, SK17 0EZ

Stage 3 , massive ghosts drying out 🤣

I’ve already done my tents, on with this now 🤣

I’ve had the washing drying out on the line today 🤣

The perfect run for me from deepest Worcestershire and I can't make it 😕
