Ha! 😂 @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOin a dress was bad but @aeg, @AndrewBClarke and myself in a bikini would require years of psychiatric therapy 😂

You do realise it's @AndrewBClarke @aeg and @Andy Westwood? Quite surprising figures given how much cake they fight over! 😉

How can you see the peaks from that angle? Ok, is this where I get banned? 😳

That’s definitely an old photo ………Now I’m a lot paler, my cheeks touch the floor , my posture crap and my hairs shorter and I’ve not got that many friends 🤪

Speak for yourself Mr @Andy Westwood. Personally I think I might look good in the bikini. Must book in to have my cataracts done soon...................

I will play real money to see them dressed like that in public, and use what money I have left to buy a bottle of Brain Bleach to erase the image from my mind.

CSR front cycle wings Full carbon prepreg materials Autoclaved Super shiny clear coated using the best quality products

Set of 4 wheel dollies Always wanted to move car freely sideways

You wish. I’m not done with them yet. They’re going to be the death of me - with any luck.

Loved reading this first thing this morning. I always wondered how you ended up with the colour scheme and name, now I know!

Trawling through old 'Westfield's for sale' adverts and I can't believe how few Racing Green cars there are, I've gone back 7+ years. Are they that rare? Looks like my chances of finding the right one are slim 🫠 Anyone out there with one?

Meet at The Great British Car Journey, Ambergate, DE56 2HE for breakfast before heading off into the Peak District for a run out in the Spring sunshine. Yes, it is officially meteorological Spring so get the tax man paid and come out to play. Pink bikinis optional 😉 Who is coming?

Time to put a rumour to bed (probably started by @Scott Young (Captain Colonial) - Club Secretary 😉) I'm not a saggy, old cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams! I've never named any of my cars and I didn't name this one! Someone else did....read on........ on the 6th Nov 2014, I visited Westfield Sports Cars for the first time and placed an order for a Mega S2000 full kit with White bodywork (having tested and bough a S2000 engine and gearbox that morning). I've had previous white cars: As I started my build, I soon learned that I'd need to fit indicator pods on my nose cone to meet IVA requirement. Post IVA I planned to move the indicators to under the headlamps. I therefore didn't want to drill holes in my nice new white nose cone to have to fill them later on. @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman kindly offered to lend my his spare nose cone which already had holes for the pods. It was bright yellow and was slightly damaged. Dave suggested it would need repairing and painting for IVA, so I asked if he wanted it painted the same colour as it was, the same colour as his blue S2000 or white. Dave said, do whatever I want or even do something daft! A quick google and a found a colour I liked. As the father of two girls, it was a colour I was comfortable with. A quick photoshop mock up and I was happy: Dave's nose was quickly repaired and painted for 'mates rates' by a friend in a body shop. On the 17th March 2016, I was 'followed' by this car, all the way to my IVA Test As I was unloading, the Examiner came across to say hello and said that he likes Westfield's and they are usually well built for IVA, though he had to ask 'Why have you painted your nose pink?" My reply "So you won't want it in your test bay for long, and you won't want it back!' This set the tone for an enjoyable morning and I walked out with a pass. Shortly after I got home, the indicator pods 'fell off' and the nose cone holes were filled in. It wasn't quite time for my pink phase to end. My unique car had gained plenty of WSCC fans (Especially @CosKev) during my build and they needed to see it in the flesh. Also a certain 'kit car show' was close by: Also a run out to my local Cheshire and North Staffs WSCC Meet, which was sharing the pub with the Ferrari owners club: If you zoom in, you'll spy an 'ouch' sticker over my attempt to fill/paint the holes. Here's it next to @lloydox (builder) @fildyke(current owner) lovely S2000, for my Geometry set-up. On the 19th June 2016 (Father's Day)- I was attending a local transport festival. I put my full size front number plate on( @marcusb honestly, officer!) , and less than 3 miles from home, as soon as my speed went passed 30mph, it fell off and got driven over! It's been in the boot since! During my build, after the nose colour was decided, I'd noticed that my local bus company had taken design inspiration from me and stickered up their fleet! So as it was Father's Day, I though I best visit my local bus depot for a 'Father and Son' Selfie: After IVA I also fitted one of @Kit Car Electronics excellent Free Wheel kits. In the press of a button the end of pink...........or is it.............. My car ran like this from 21st June 2016 until July 2017 and the pink nose went back to @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman as a spare. Every time the garage door was rolled up, I did miss the pink nose. Fate was about to play it's hand. @Greenstreak-Andy D invited @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman and I to his 50th Birthday celebration at the 2017 Le Mans 24H, which was to be our first Euroblat. The trip was excellent and after the race, rather than rush back home we had a few more additional days bimbling round northern France. On one of these days I had an 'Oh la, la ' moment after a long hot, tiring day with a dry stone wall on our hotel carpark, whilst reversing, I failed to note how close my rear driver's side wing was to the abutment on the wall. Which resulted in: It didn't ruin the great trip, but wasn't going to stop like that. My wife, kindly suggested it wouldn't rust and could stay like that! I'd done similar but less significant damage to the passenger side arch on my own driveway, when reversing without mirrors during my build and had badly bodged it with gelcoat. So both wings needed to be repaired properly. Time for some colour & with some help from Photoshop, I was stuck between these two colours: @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman kindly agreed to sell me the pink nose, the rear wings were removed and all items went back to my friend to be repaired and painted. I 'really' enjoyed removing the silicon sealant used to hold the stone guards on with. The first meet with my new colour scheme was the excellent Gold Cup at Oulton Park in Aug 2017 You'll notice the 'ouch' stickers still on the nose cone, my friend in the Body Shop had a holiday to go on, and the nose had to wait a while longer. In Sep 2017, I attended a Peak District Meet at Tatton Airfield, and during lunch the discussion turned to a name for my car. @Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) was mentioned and I stupidly suggested 'Primrose' in jest (I was quickly corrected by the green fingered ones amongst us that they are yellow too ). @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative blurted out 'Bagpuss' in between chomps of cake and the name has stuck ever since. She shortly after gifted my bonnet ornament of the stuffed toy and most in the club started to refer to me as Bagpuss too. So I've not fought it! I've been called much worse 😉

Those are less expensive 'mechanical' version , compared to hydraulic ones . (its similar or the same just other brand : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbVMqtA1eY One piece is approx 63GBP in Your currency. So not so bad. Was affraid of hydraulic ones as more complicated construction might be more issues potentialy. Also dont need as much weight load (hydraulic ones afford for more weight load, at least on papaer) , those above claims for 560kg one. (hydraulic version 680kg) EDIT just found another application (its similar or the samed just other brand : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbVMqtA1eY (maybe not for ours lightweight Westfield's wheels, but for normal production car - why not ? ( I once weighted wheel (rim+ tyre) for my Mazda 6 : approx 20 or 30kg one(!) .

Sorry my bad been run off my feet today knew I had forgot something They are £400 for the pair

Wouldn't be without mine.

Have a great day @*Emma* & @mikef 🍺🎂🍺🎂

BTTT... ONE PLACE LEFT !!!!!!

Ill be there from around 9ish too, see you all there 👍🙂

That’s what’s so nice about these, you can really make them your own. 👍🏼👍🏼

All set for Saturday, weather is looking good and we have a space for 8 cars, could probably squeeze more in if needed. I'll be there from 9am, no need for everyone to be there that early as the event is on all day, so come and go as you please. On arrival, tell the marshells that you're with the Westfield club in area 3. I should have some flags up, but we are close to the entrance. Food is available all day and the shop is well stocked. Again, PLEASE let me know if you're coming.

It’s possible that owners of green cars love them so much that they can’t give them up. Alternatively, they can’t find them because they’re so dark.

@Jimbo93 navigate to the local events section of the forum and search on the word 'peak' Which should result in this- Peak meets You'll then need to walk through each thread to see the pics from each event.

Good choice on your colour requirement @Jimbo93, you clearly have class and style. Have a look through the photo's on any Peak District outing in the Events section of this forum and you will see lots of our WRG coloured car. The green panel on the seats really sets the colour off too and many people tell us how much they like the classy look of our car. Not bad for 73 000 miles on the clock. Not for sale.

Recived mine rebuilded gearbox with new longer - 2.98 1st, new bearings, synchros, gaskets, seals, cleaned inside and outside. Now excercise and acrobatics to install..

New wheels and tyres now fitted. Not the best photograph. Need the weather to improve so I can get out for a blat.

Ian has been known as "Bagpuss" for many years now. Inquiring minds want to know when he's going to upgrade to a Dyson and become "Baglesspuss". Thanks in advance.
