Kit Car Event at The Motorist.

Taxed this morning and out of winter hibernation for the first outing of the year. It's great to be back!

Had a fab drive out this morning, on my own but still had fun. I headed down from Crewkerne to West Bay to start, fun in places but quite slow going. Had a brief stop to stretch the legs and take a photo before heading along the lovely coast road through Burton Bradstock and towards Abbotsbury. I stopped again at the lay-by overlooking Chesil beach and Portland, fab views and more pics. Heading on from there I wiggled around a bit, down some fairly small lanes but plenty of good going. Finally I hit the A356 back towards Crewkerne and had a blast; empty roads, fast and open, really good fun. Car is now cleaned and tucked away, hopefully not for too long if this weather holds! 🤞

Fun times in the sunshine today

I visited CleaR Motorsport yesterday to have a full geo and corner weighting set up. @Mark19691 joined us for the session as he's keen to have his car set up soon too. My car is just a few feet away from the scales as @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport get set up. Here's the start position (with me in the car)- I'm circa 70kgs. The scissor lift made it easy to remove the rear wheels. Unfortunately the rear (alloy) spring perches on both my rear Spax dampers are galvanically corroded to my steel bodied dampers. We didn't want me to end of immobilised, so brute force was limited. A quick call to @DamperMan confirmed there was little more we could do with the shocks on the car and he's offered a solution for me to take up in the future to resolve the issue. As my car is only used on the road, some may say corner weighting isn't necessary any how. My front camber was adjusted and this meant the toe needed to be adjusted again (it was done recently when @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport kindly did a home visit). Rear camber was spot on and rear toe also. A quick test drive confirmed all was well and car was turning in nicely and handling well. A great service by a very friendly and knowledgeable member. It's great to have such a service available again in the NW and only 25 miles away for me. A rear asset to the club and if you've seen any of his video's of him flying round Oulton in the Lobster, he clearly understand how a driver can get the best out of a chassis too!

@Andy Westwood I’m working 🤣 that’s pushing the boat out !!! @ianali your not in Andy’s league for larking about and taking the preferable all day, you’d be knackered 🤪 We can’t make it because we’re on holiday again ( taking lessons off you pair ) have a great day folks and see you all soon A & B

So far, so good. A good turn out of Westfields and other kit cars today. A cold start, but warming up nicely.

Like the new title @Paul Baker - Bristol Bath and Cotswold AO you should put the 'AND' in capitals and show off a bit mate! 😁

Short video from today.

Nowhere near Tagg lane then 🤔 glad we can’t make it @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative because we’d be lost 🤣

Ok, I'm opening my account with four in the bag from today's run: Old Sodbury, Little Sodbury, Honey Knob Lane and Lacock Old Sodbury: Little Sodbury: Honey Knob Lane: And a trip to Lacock, we're National Trust members so I actually went in for a quick stretch of the legs: Harry Potter was filmed here:

Il cover your shift, if you look after our daughters dog?

The first here on a glorious morning. Started off with ice and fog

Thanks @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO and @Mark19691 A pleasure having you both around. Nice chatting... Now we just need your car to dont have stuck stuff

The Honda is a heavier set up than the average small planet, let alone a Zetec! (I was once pulling the leg of an SEiGHT owner about the weight of their Rover gearbox, - 40+ kg. They politely suggested I check the weight of the Honda box! Yes, it was heavier than the v8’s ‘box!!) The Honda f20c engine and box are surprisingly big and heavy for an all aluminium four pot.

Hi Stu, have you tried to recreate our Ford Kuga photo from last year?? 😎

The route for tomorrow is from the car museum go back to Cromford lights and up the Via Gellia to HOLLYBUSH INN DE4 4HU turn left and pass the BENTLEY BROOK INN DE6 1LF to the T junction and turn right up the big A515 signed Buxton Turn left off the A515 at Tissington, putting THE OLD DOG DE6 2AT in your satnav will take you that way. Through Thorpe, Ilam and STANSHOPE DE6 2AD Bear left in Alstonefield to bring you to our lunch stop THE MANIFOLD INN SK17 0EX

Lovely photo's and good of you to share your Westfield trip with us, thank you.

Not sure if that's a good. As obviously the dog is full of life. You probably wouldn't like the 03.50hrs wake up call either 😂

Canceled my half year old order for carcoon from DT and ordered one from China. Seems to be the same as car Bubble from UK and the same from switzerland just half the price and instant customer service online for colour choince , other details as window floor thickness, etc.

Just seen this post on Facebook. Thought it was quite funny 😂

I can find no humour in the mention of potholes.
