A frosty early morning on The Hogs Back, waiting for @Martin Hewes AO Surrey before heading down to Caffeine & Machine - The Hut.

Project v has now turned into this .. Carbon v8 bonnet zk style First out the tool This has come straight out the tool it's not even been polished yet ! Made from high quality prepreg carbon A little weight saving over a grp v8 bonnet(6.5kg) for those looking at saving weight This carbon bonnet is 1450g This is race quality in the picture I will do a better writeup when I get time .

So the postman delivered this today. I think it looks a great steering wheel. just couldn’t get along with the OMP Double D that was in there. So it will be up for soon.

Some pictures from our run down to Caffeine & Machine - The Hut, plus a video of an unusual visitor...

Many thanks @Flying Carrot Steve for your kind donation and also for encouraging others. It will be my 31st 1/2 marathon race and my 4th Great Manchester run. it's not the best of routes (bland Manchester industrial areas, with few spectators), but I'm always amazed at the kind donations I get for an amazing charity. Sometimes from people who've received amazing care from the Cristie. These personal memories really pull me through and humble my attempts at this race.

I made it to the breakfast meeting in the Westfield this morning. There were seven of us, with a possible new member looking for a car. Sorry, no photos.

Thanks for the kind and generous sponsorship @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO I really appreciate it! I'm still way off my target, so if anyone else has some spare pennies, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi Last minute meet up at Curborough this morning to watch the track day. We will be landing about 10am for a couple of hours. Feel free to join us even if it's in the tin top 👍

I run a Dash2Pro and my steering wheel is a 280mm Momo with 4 FREEWheel buttons, I also use a 40mm spacer on my Go-Race quick release column. The key for me was getting the correct FREEWheel button template. My car has a standard floor with Tillet B6 seats mounted on runners & I can see all of my dash and warning lights.

Just been round to my sons new house, he has a balcony.

Passed its first MOT under my ownership this morning. Not a single advisory either. So pleased!

2005 caterham r300 super light, Blue with white stripe under wrap, comes with heated screen and doors and does have heater installed. 20500 miles, 4 previous owners, track focused, would take Westfield in px if it helped. Factory built car Hpi clear and fully road legal on a 05 plate £19k based just north of Lichfield-staffs Dave 07836 22 55 06

Westfield SEiW, Q411PRS. The full kit was purchased in 2004, then kept in storage, eventually passed IVA in January 2025. Registered 1st March 2025. ZK body, green. Carbon effect cycle wings, carbon effect stripe, carbon effect rear stone guards, detachable rear arches, RAC roll bar, sports seats, four point safety harnesses, carpets and heater. Side screens. 2 litre blacktop Zetec. Raceline parts include throttle bodies, inlet manifold, water rail, wet sump, lightened flywheel, hd clutch, vernier pulleys. New cam belt. Gems programmable ecu with dongle. MT75 gearbox with quick shift, from Westfield. 3.92 Sierra viscous diff, also from Westfield. Alloy front hubs, M16 front callipers, Sierra rears, solid discs all round, Gaz shocks and 2.2 quick rack. Floor mounted pedals, new Odyssey battery, VDO gauges, inertia switch, usb power point. Speedline 7 x 15 wheels, spare wheel and carrier included but not fitted. Present mileage is 15, mostly around the IVA test centre. This will increase as the summer approaches. And that’s not 15k miles, it’s 15 miles. And as of today mileage is 17.1. Mileage update, 37.1 miles, nice run around Parkgate. £12,750 ono.

There's no pairing, it's a secure 2 way radio transmission, not Bluetooth which is unreliable as you say. Response time is around 10ms - fast enough to be useful for paddleshift and to appear immediate... We ship to Europe regularly with a zero tariff rate, so you'd buy without VAT and pay local sales tax instead. (there's a 10% WSCC discount too) 🙂 Happy to answer any questions

Donated mate. It's a longish-winded process but well worth supporting and I'm impressed you can do that Ian, I wouldn't get half a mile let alone half a marathon done!

It is a fantastic, I fitted an 8-way system but I currently only use 5 of the ways. My 5th is a centre press horn. Clearance is fine. The only time I really notice the plate behind is when am manoeuvring and I occasionally catch the battery pack area behind the middle spoke.

Same as the above one I guess + post or collection from Eastbourne

The plan would be to remove the A frame and the wheels so it could only be moved when I wanted to. It seems it's almost impossible to find a genuine trailer for sale so worrying about it being damp might not be important.

sorry that would help £95 id take for it.

Errate .... Could not stand this nice weather despite left salt on dry nearby (on nearby hills luckily not white from salt : ). ) and took Road Westfield for a ride Few changes during winter - 2.98 first gear, lightweight 4.3 vs 8 kg flywheel , new steering rack , simplified fuel system and some minor changes . Good to be on road again ! As for the gearing - really its upgrade and more fun with donuts and starting on corners with lively rear vs original 3.6 type 9 gearbox 1st. But if I would do IT again I would go for even longer 2.7 (130 GBP more expensive but with all that work - worth it. At least with 3.92 diff). Rest works as was suppoused - more lively revving engine . New steering rack better self centering and confidence. And fuel system with swirlpot delete works ok . What a pleasure to drive Westfield around again !

A quick wash after it's shakedown last weekend. Can't believe how muddy the rural roads are

A little bit of map tweaking at AP Racing Engines this afternoon, great service as usual from Andrew 👍

Ready for summer after a few jobs over winter, new wide track kit, new engine and gearbox mounts, new timing and aux belts, oil and filter change, new windscreen, new tyres, various new fasteners and a new plate is the cherry on top👌 I have also just ordered a new soft bits half hood today, can’t wait for the better weather, hopefully……

It looked like the garage in the photo you showed me of you in your Austin seven on the day you passed your driving test 😘

Bet they took you back? Must have been a lovely reminder of when you were in your prime 👍

Spotted these while out today, don’t know wether they worked or not just grabbed a quick photo for nostalgia
