Great to finally meet @maurici last night. Here's me internationally whooping @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary & @HB46443 with a Spaniard and our visiting Italian @LoneWolf, given our monthly who can get more cars at our respective meets each month, I upped the game and challenged them to see how far their popularity reaches. @HB46443 even went to the wrong meet 😉 Great to dine with @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman @Andy Wallwork @Greenstreak-Andy D @6carjon @Westie66 @LoneWolf last night. We toasted absent friends @Jim cunliffe and @Si.Dalziel who sadly couldn't join us. Thanks for organising @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman

Heck, that is some weather forecast, can't believe earlier on in the week they were actually saying it was going to be ok. Unless there is a dramatic change this event is cancelled, but please read on for some important information. Firstly, we are still going to the car museum on Sunday morning in a more suitable vehicle, so if you fancy a breakfast and a chat please do join us from 10am until around midday. Secondly, it's that time of the year for the Santa Run, so if the weather is good next weekend keep an eye out for it in the Event's section. For those that haven't seen it before, we dress both our cars and ourselves in festive gear and tootle about having a good laugh, the general public love it too. Hope to see some of you soon xxxxxx

Another great Christmas meal was enjoyed by all tonight at the George and Dragon. It was a very enjoyable evening, so thanks to all for coming out in such crap weather.

Can you make some carbon ones? 🤣

@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOsadly I'm doing some consulting at a business in Dartford, Monday to Friday for a few months so I may be absent for a few pub meets. Bizarrely, the site I'm at is literally next door to the Caterham factory so I could probably get a photo of plenty of "sevens" if you want 😂

My errands made me arrive very early to the george inn... Give me a shout if you recognise me. Grey polo, blue aston martin jacket. Probably the one that looks like the local drunk in 20 minutes

Protech Shocks Socks. I got these for the rear only after having cleaned up the shocks and fitting new Spax progressive springs. Hopefully it will keep all the crud off. Yes I am a bit of a clean freak.

Looking forward to putting these on when i get back from work Thank you @Rednop1

I've just had all 4 of my shocks rebuilt as one of them suddenly got emotional and cried out all of its oil. The cause of this was deemed to be corrosion to the shafts that damaged the seals, resulting in the leak. 4x new shafts plus the corresponding updated seals and plates to match the only (bigger) currently supplied shafts was not cheap. They were 16 years old but I'm extra wary of this sort of issue now. I did just last night twig I could take out the boot box to clean off everything under there, though.

What I have just done? Swapped a mini!

Sorry I didn’t make it home for this years ruby. Have a good evening gents.

Got some new parts for the Westfield today. A set of Lusomotor MK10 seats with custom headrest of my design, and the electric pump for the charge cooler. Really pleased with the seats, the LineX coating looks great and they just fit in the car.

It is indeed. With billet reinforcement plates so it doesn't explode with 30psi of boost 😄

Got this little baby this morning... Was seriously waiting for it 🤩 The guys at ProAlloy really did a great job, especially Chris who took my CAD drawing and made sure the final product was up to spec 👌🏻

It's taken me HEUERS to TAG you in Phil @RickRack

Surely a Swiss Westy clock would be the most accurist ⏰🤔🤨

The Alfa clock should probably go backwards! I can't have a German clock as I've never had a German car, I could get a Honda CRX one though. I'll keep a check on how reliable they are when I learn to tell the time.

I'll be interested to see which clock turns out to be more reliable 😉 Shouldn't the Alfa clock reflect the time in Italy? Surely you need a German or Japanese model 😎

Westfield clock from https://www.mancavepembs.co.uk/. Matches my Alfa clock.

Progressive rear springs from Spax courtesy of Damperman. Order at 12.09 yesterday and delivered at 2pm today. Wow what service, it will take me longer to install them!
