Posted on another of my car forums. Thought it may interest a few on here. Amazing that such a brochure was produced in period and to such detail and quality © Spitfire.pdf

It's Dec 1st, have you turned your calendar over? That's a great photo of Glynn's car at Quacker's Cafe on a freezing morning at one of our Peak District meets. Glynn was also in the photo with us and Dave on the November calendar pic, that was taken on New Years Day in the Peak District. It's great that we can all send photo's in and make the calendar. Just a reminder EVERY MEMBER WILL RECEIVE THE CALENDAR regardless of whether you choose the paper magazine or not. I do hope a lot of you choose the paper magazine though because if not enough people do then it may become financially unviable to continue it. Really looking forward to receiving the paper mag and calendar next week👍

Birthday present from the wife yesterday. I was even allowed the time to go and fit it!

The methodology for our car tours is: Wake up 3:30 AM hour 4:00 am meeting at the service station circa 6:30 am ritual photo at dawn on top of some alpin pass approximately 10:00 am tour over. Until 8 a.m. you have guaranteed no asphalt work, cyclist, caravan, bricklayer's van... Everyone returns home relaxed as after a very fruitful intensive group therapy. (number max of cars: 4)

I thought my experiences regarding the late Philip Young and the late Hywel 'the mac' Thomas a founder member of Port Talbot Motor Club may be of interest to you. I serviced for Keith Billows and Hywel Thomas in a group four Escort on the 1980 Himalayan rally. The car normally had a BDA engine but because of the lower grade petrol in India a two litre Pinto engine was installed for the event. Hywel made notes about the special stages traveling in a taxi two weeks before the start. Another UK competitor was Philip Young driving a Morris Minor previously owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury. One day the rally paused in a strictly Muslim town where women were modestly dressed. I accompanied Philip's girlfriend to do some food shopping. She asked me why some men were staring at her. I pretended not to know why but the reason was obvious. She was vert good looking and wasn't wearing a bra so her nipples were pushing prominently through her tee shirt and her breasts bounced with every step. I think she was unselfconscious about her boobs. Soon afterwards Keith and Hywel retired due to an engine problem. I wanted to carry on and completed the route in the service van of some hard drinking Australian competitors. Members of the opposition political party were opposed to the event and attacked cars smashing windscreens at several points along the route. The cars went into a sports stadium with police guard for protection where improvised mesh windscreens were made. Some of the Indian competitors were in antiquated Hindustan Ambassador cars based on UK 1950's Morris Oxfords. It was a high profile event and the awards were presented at a hotel in Delhi by the prime minister Mrs Gandhi. As she gave Philip Young his 15th place award he kissed her on the face and she looked horrified. The rally was won by the famous Shakhar Mehta and Lofty Drews in an Opel Ascona 400. Mal

I've typically uploaded mine and encouraged others to do this same to the galleries area- Take a look here-

Ahhh proper cars 😁

You know the system very well. We've had two very clear runs up Stelvio using this method. You've forgotten to include 'Beer O'clock' after the tour to cool down and celebrate!

That's the only way to have fun safely not because you are the danger but because others are (and they have an SUV). Giau Pass

Next year, new opportunities. 😉

@mole you gently offered to help me 😃 at the moment I never had a Westy but is my intention and this forum have a policy really limitating 😅 if you can help.... next summer I'll take you for a "walk" in these mountains with my new imported Westfield 🤩 (if papers is ok for import)

Thank you @Mole I'm based between Venice and Verona, 1 mile from prealps mountains. Which is like a playground for grown up children 🤣

I've done it, taxed for another year. MOT before Christmas now.

Monthly meet for a natter and a pint, usual venue, The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30. Usual informal format, come and go as you please. Seasons greetings to any who can’t make it.

My assumption has always been that your own posts don't appear there as you've already read them.

Hello mates, I wish to buy a Westfield and I think I'm on the right place. Already had a Ultima Can-Am, a Noble M12, a Opel Speedster turbo (vx220)..... I looking for a pre 2000 sei or seiw, pre 2000 because now with brexit plate a Uk car is incredibly hard. See you later.

I'm eagerly awaiting the 2025 calendar and getting to see everyone's pictures. Will we also get to see any of the pictures that didn't make the final cut? I'm sure there will have been some brilliant submissions and it would be good if we could see some of them.

Welcome! What a beautiful area of the world to live in, and fantastic playground, too!!

Wow! Thank you for sharing!

Just tried using the Edge Browser and it works fine. Odd! Ian

Awesome trip on my roads, I'm sure you enjoy every mile.

A very nice area... And great roads to drive on..

Thank you @Mole. Be honest I have already see something, now I try to contact the member @Jim Gordon. Having owned the Ultima I have learn to appreciate the "barchetta" body experience. Believe me, a drive on the Alps with a roofless car is awesome.

@Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary or @Captain Colonial can you please assist?

Bump; anyone else? I normally confirm numbers with the restaurant early the week of the meal… So far, we’re provisionally nine?

Sorry, I'm already spoken for, and this was before he started knitting 😉 Though, I'm still Lazy!

Last calls today for East Anglia Christmas meal. Regards martin

Just completed a 4 month on/off weekend project turning the garden area at the back of my garage .. From this collection of random monstrosities ... To this 😇
