A huge thanks to our new Chairman @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman for supporting this new event, a sort of small version of Malvern where all varieties of kit cars are encouraged to get together and rejoice in our choice of hobby. Hedley and I The Kit Car Show Thanks to @Jakejmagee for the extra photo's. When I said a 'small' version of Malvern, I did mean small, so don't laugh but come and join us next year to make it biiiiiiiig. @Greenstreak-Andy D bought out his newly refurbished car to show off to us. A lot of hard work and money has been spent after his unfortunate accident a year ago today. This goes to show just what can be done, I think the interior is the same and so is the engine. Andy has done a great job and his attention to detail shows. The Westfield's came out in force of course, 11 cars including Jake's Tiger The Marlin's had a good turn out, some were local (Ashbourne and Bakewell) and others had come from Leeds and even Somerset, so well done to them. A lovely, friendly and cheerful bunch. We get treated like royalty here with our reserved parking spots underneath the sign, I know I know, we are weird, I'll take that. Flying the Peak District flag The neat Honda engine on show As usual we get itchy feet and soon take off onto the wonderful surrounding roads in search of food. We had a great, steady convoy up to the Traveller's Rest at Bradwell where we always get well fed. Parked at the Traveller's Rest Blimey, well fed! I had been eating half an hour and still not made a dent in my plate, I reckon that I will be ok for food now until 3 weeks on Thursday. Poor Lee had to have a sleep halfway through his dinner it was that big. After lunch we took off to The Pavillion, Baslow for cake, oh hilarious, I just had a pot of tea I can assure you. No names, but some people could actually fit cake in Monkey's Tea Party Cars parked at the Pavillion I don't know where they get their ideas from......the boys ddecided to have a game of something that looked nothing like cricket The ball ended up here, of course it did... A hilarious day out, very much good fun, what a club, what great cars to have in such a wonderful place xxx

I tried 5 of those when I had a complete flat after a screw in the tyre was repaired using a kit like above and it got it to about 5psi. I now carry a small electric compressor adapted from a cigar lighter lead to crock clips.

Thank you @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative The Peak District really is a must do. Always a fun packed day out & now where Westfield cricket was born! 🤣

How great it was to get out and meet up with all you lovely folk. Thank you Julie. A most enjoyable day. Great to be back! Andy

Do the instructions include how to rotate photos 90 degrees?

They do work i fixed my quad tyre when I had it and just last week a lad broke down outside my house with a nail in his tyre 15 min later he was on his way

Ready for the Gold Cup at Oulton Park tomorrow.... just to show that the Westie is occasionally cleaned properly ('cos it'll be filthy by the time we arrive in the morning).

Hi, I’m looking for a pair of front Wilwood or Hi-Spec calipers to replace the original ones on my Cortina. I’m based in Spain, so the items would need to be shipped internationally. Please note that I will cover all shipping costs, as well as any applicable Brexit-related taxes or customs duties. Best regards,

To round this thread off, I thought I would share a few pictures of Mum’s 90th party. Why you say? Because the legend that is Colin Homewood drove 93 year old Dottie up from Dawlish to drive Mum and Dad to the party. Mum used to be driven around by a boyfriend or two in Austin 7s, so Dottie the Austin 10 was perfect for the occasion. Huge thanks to Colin and Dottie for making Mum’s day!

This compressor I have orderd has crock clips included. But when I was building car , have installed ciggarete lighter inside boot , for just in case like this : (voltage gauge seems not usable in boot, but...who knows... )

You can CO2 powered ones for push bikes, may take a couple of bottles for a car tyre.

There is a Javelin discount code so can be used on their snetterton days

I got one that takes the same battery as my 18V power tools, cost a bit more but thought it was worth it.

Gutted, I couldn't get there. Some nice shots, thanks for posting 👌

It was great to meet you you as well Richard and we had a great day spectating. The other Sprint that I mentioned at Castle Combe is The Great Western Sprint on Saturday 18th October which has the final round of the UK Sprint Championship. Below are some photos of the Speed Series members @Richard Houlgate @Dan Trotman @Paul Harvey @Stuart Gilks competing yesterday.

It does leave a small lump of the repair sticking out to trim off but it was on my quad for 5 months and never seemed to wear down it's tough stuff.

Yes. Hold your phone flat, do not tilt it, rotate through 90°

Hello all, I just bought this at the weekend, and have joined your group - I live in Mildenhall , Suffolk, any of you local to me? thanks Peter

welcome from bonny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Five! Five little Tenax fasteners! Ah ah ahhhh!

That's great Mat, hopefully we can meet up with a few members somewhere

10am, I’ll send you a pm with the details on

That is just mental. You've got to love it. I really want one now but I think that if I go and lie down then it'll pass.

Hi Peter. Welcome to the club, lovely looking car. I’m not a million miles from you as I live in Bourne near Stamford. Love going out towards Norfolk and Suffolk. Mat

Do you not need to take the tyre off the rim for these? I've only seen plugs that come through from the inside.

It looks from the photo that your sensor is mounted at 90 deg from the horizontal line of your exhaust or perhaps even lower. This will encourage condensation in the exhaust to damage the sensor. It might be worth looking to relocate the boss more in line with the below detail. I had to do this on my car to reduce the number of times the sensor needed changing.

You are joking!! Its 140 miles from home to Castle Combe. The car is stripped out with no windscreen and is uncomfortable to drive on the road. It may be very fast but there is little opportunity to use the speed. It is certainly not a motorway cruiser. I'll arrive Friday evening, sleep in the trailer and drive back home Saturday after the event.

Well after a week of EV ownership I felt the need to clense the sole and have a blast in the westy(well had a few little errands to run) thought it felt a little loose just the last mile or so. Parking up to go to pets at home and discovered the reason. Big thanks to the Aa man for sorting me and getting me home. New tyre required
