Maybe some of you have heard the latest news – Le Mans 2025 was won by Polish driver Robert Kubica! His main sponsor is ORLEN. While I was testing my recently finished (and finally working!) MNR, it seems some folks from ORLEN were watching my driving — and they sent me a whole cistern of their fuel. Nice!

Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Russell Brynolf, retired engineer, and I've always wanted to build a kit car for myself. Last August I finally received my kit from Westfield, yes, here in the USA, delivered in a large crate containing many, many boxes! Not the best of assembly instructions, and several parts missing, but, overcome those issues and I'm proud to say I finished the build yesterday!! Pictures attached. Next is to get it inspected and registered. To achieve this in Michigan the car is required to have bumpers front and rear at 14-22" from the ground. They will look a little stupid but that the only way to complete the inspection. Engine still runs a little lumpy, but otherwise drives great. let me know any comments or suggestions. Ta.

Helmsley North Yorkshire on our trip to Scarborough. It was after 5 when arrived at Scarborough so didn’t stop. Called in at Helmsley, & Thornton le Dale.

New set of wheels, well for 10 days it is. Still waiting on insurance with any decision.

Welcome, the car looks great! It'll be interesting to see the bumper solution! As others have said, the rear ride height does look a little low. They handle best with the rear 20-30mm higher than the front (plenty of threads on here to help with that) and it will help reduce understeer. I also run 15mm hubcentric bolt on spacers but that is so I can run 13x8 ET23 rear wheels with 215/55 or 235/45 tyres. Without the spacers, a 15x8 ET24 still fills the rear arches well with 205/50's.

A few different shots cos it does seem the picture angle makes a difference, but here is how mine look. Not an FW I know but visually the arch filling should be about the same on both I'd guess? Of course it's also personal taste to some extent but I love the way mine look. All credit goes to previous owners!

That's more than you'll ever use, how much per litre for WSCC members and where do we fill up @Andrzej? 😁

Welcome. Ant’s car has resurfaced!! You’ve now joined the best club 😀. I’m in central Lincolnshire which I know is a stretch from Peterborough but welcome to pop up here or join in on trips out. I normally travel to the Peak District as it has been an active group for quite a while and I’ve made life long friends. Off on Sunday on the WSCC lakes and dales trip. As far as servicing etc, I’ve found a good mechanic at Finneys. Just at the end of Coningsby runway. He has made several 7 style cars and knows his stuff. Engine tuning I would recommend AP Racing Engines. General mechanics could be done at GBS in Retford. I’m sure the more local members from the Norfolk group have now found suitable places. Either way, enjoy your ownership and above all get out in it - don’t just park it in a garage!!

Two days into our Dorset euro trip! This is us just arrived in Cochem 🇩🇪
