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!

A good day out indeed. Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for organising and for @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman for supporting. A great turnout by the WSCC as always! A Westfields as far as the eye can see! With the YNot festival being set up in readiness for next weekend to the left. A 'nice' man in a van, on this straight 50mph road, taking pics and sending through to post to you should you wish to pay from them several weeks later. Good to see @westyjord87 out with us and @Greenstreak-Andy D (Surely it's about time for a forum name change, we'll gladly suggest some 😉 !), in his new livery! I had named it the bumble bee bimble bus, however he was driving it like a man possessed ! He's suggesting it to be a wasp!

Our car won the competition at the museum and the official photo's are in. The Great British Masters of the Marque, sponsored by Wera Tools, not bad for a 22 year old car that has done 76,000 miles, the polishing was worth it Glen! The prize It's the attention to detail also, little things like replacing the steering rack bushes. Ordered one day on-line from Westfield Chesil Ltd and delivered the next day, I might add, fantastic service. These are the 'before' photo's The 'after' photo's The one on the left was a very tight fit and will have a bit of attention tomorrow before replacing the nose cone. Your turn to win the competition next year!

I’ve been trying to find an opportunity to take my Mum out in the Westfield she helped me buy pretty much since I reacquired it, but somehow it never quite happened. Finally though, the stars aligned on Tuesday. I took the day off for another less pleasant reason in the morning, but that meant I could head up from Crewkerne to Wokingham in the afternoon to see Mum on her 90th birthday, in the Westfield of course. I had some great views of Stonehenge both ways, and it was lovely in the twilight heading home. After various friends had left, I persuaded her to tog up and come out for a spin. Getting her in was not too much of a challenge, and she was snug with the 6 point harness although could have done with a cushion as she could barely see over the dashboard! We headed out through Hurst and Twyford, hitting some sticky traffic at times, but then had a wonderful run back along the B3018 and the Straight Mile and home. She was very brave, didn’t squeal once and actually really enjoyed it. I’m not sure her hair will ever be the same though 🤣. The funniest part was, of course, getting her out again. It took a few goes and I have a hilarious speeded up video of it which I will keep private to save her blushes. So, there can’t be many 90 year olds who’ve been in a Westfield at a decent lick on their birthdays! She will be dining out on that one for a while 👍

Wow…….. another great day out with cars and friends A bit late this time as watching the footie and the Grand Prix made it late so here’s a couple of pics that Becky took while out and about All you can see in front are Westfields Westfields coming through 🫣 on top of the world somewhere is it us or is Ali @ianaligetting smaller ? and this birthday card was sent to Becky by @Andy Westwood I wonder why 🤣 Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and Glen for another great day out and drive around the peaks and to all the people that come along and make them FUN , see you all soon luv Andy and Becky xx

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! 🤣

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

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

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.

Sorted thanks. Was originally after a cheapy as planning on going to 13's at some point

Give it a go! 👍 I suspect you may have found the Straight Mile, or been pretty close, here it is…

Fantastic - not sure I would get my 87 year old mother in the Westfield! You've given me a new road to explore - I'm familiar with Drift Road just to the east and the B3018 at Shurlock Row, but never discovered The Straight Mile!

Another brilliant day out with the Westfield sports cricket club. Lovely cars about and delightful company. Thanks again Julie for organising. Xx

Excellent day at the races, and it almost didn't rain.

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

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).

Don’t you just love Somerset? Close encounter with a very large tractor; the farmers are crazy busy right now so probably should have expected it. Needed a firm slam on the anchors when it appeared, but Winston stopped straight and quickly which was handy!
