Had a wee run out to Glencoe and Oban today. Views are of Loch Earn, Glencoe and Glen Etive/skyfall road. The weather was stunning for a change. 270 miles covered and met a friend on the way.

A very hot day at the Knebworth Classic Car show. Very few kit cars, but a great selection of some rare machinery (DeTomaso, Buick with a straight 8, Ford RS200, plenty of Jag E-Types and Mustangs etc. etc.) and of course a Westfield XI 😃.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us at the Silverstone Festival with WSCC – whether you managed a day or braved the whole weekend! Plenty of laughs, plenty of cars, and a few lessons learned along the way… namely: if you leave your phone at a club meeting, be prepared for “alternative perspectives” appearing on it later. Also, note to self (and everyone else): feet are not a recognised photographic subject with cars! Apparently! A slight change to the format next year means that the event will be rescheduled and renamed possibly back to the Silverstone classic but either way hope to see more of you next year! HB look out for the ITV4 film about Silverstone festival. September 21st 2025, I was advised.

It's gotta be better than my last attempt at an incognito full caged car safety get-up

Stumbled across this on the Bay of E so had to have it....

I never been before but going to get the East Anglian gang over there next year.

Yep we managed a superb turnout ten years ago, for the last big anniversary, be great to achieve as many as we can this time around, too.

Lovely run over Clee Hills this morning with my lad. Good couple of hours, before the roads got busy. Stopped at this spot for a break, and a lovely chap who was there on a bike came over for a chat. Turned out he worked at Westfield on our cars in the 90s developing things like the V8 and a lot of other things that were still in my car now. He had some great stories. After we left, wished I'd got his name.

With no @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO present and therefore no steering wheel to steal and hide, I had to resort to hijacking your phone and exposing your newfound foot fetish (I will keep it a secret I promise, what happens at Silverstone stays at Silverstone....oh oops is anyone listening?) Really enjoyed the event, and great big thank you for the ticket and another great big thank you to the ladies on the TVR club stand that were friendly and welcoming, allowing us to sit in their shade with a brew, bob on girls

Enjoying the bank holiday sunshine.

If you go and camp and @Martin Letts - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO offers you one of his special rums my advise (from recent experience) is don't accept!!! 😅

ME221 ecu and duratec harness ready for some winter tinkering.

Give you an excuse to wear that new carbon helmet Steve I've even found an orange protective cover for it.

Yes the mk open days are fun to go too loads of different makes of cars turn up always a good day ive even met a lad there who drove almost 100 miles for one open day.

Yep, the in-read posts button is how many of us read the forum.

Photo of a photo entering the Cheshire Classic Car Show at Capesthorne this morning.

I live in maldon I did see that which is awesome I didn’t think I’d find many local guys! Yes it’s on the road but I’m apprehensive to drive it as the guy I bought it from just clearly used it with no maintenance. So once I get all the information I need il get it sorted!

Use Millers 75w90 fully synthetic in my BGH type 9 gearbox.

@Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset No dates currently Stuart. With the changes around the relocation of Car Fest to Silverstone next year it is believed that the Silverstone Classic return (or similarly named event) will most likely be two weeks after the formula one weekend. All speculation at this time! The events team will keep us updated! @Mike Williams - Show and Events Co-ordinator HB.

Here’s an attached picture of said Westfield!

A few taken in front of the Rolls Royce / Bentley garage in Great Easton, Essex. Lovely weather and perfect backdrop.

More information to be released soon, for now here is the latest update. It is a stunning drive apparently, can't wait for the official launch, so stay posted on this forum!

Richard Hammond was very polite and friendly, nice guy A mini committee meeting We had an earlier start than the other’s it seems

A few pics from today, the blue Healey is Hamsters He’s racing this weekend in it 😎

Thanks Rob. AW. Im assuming that's Andy Walsh, who used to run Carlimits. Both based at North Weald, although Google suggests Carlimits no longer operates. I remember that name from back in the day. Interesting to get your thoughts on track days too. Thanks!

Once I’ve sorted out some niggles il be out for sure!

Maybe you could come along to a meeting without your westie many people do for one reason or another

Redline mt 90 for your oil for type 9

I live just up the road in Wickham Bishops, look forward to meeting you 😀

I've always wanted but never managed to go but we all need to make the extra push next year get as many there as possible.

If you live within easy reach of the MK guys then you lucky, I'd love to go see them. They do seem to be the guys who can sort most things kit-wise

Hi Richard what area of essex are you im nr gt dunmow is your car on the road we have a westie meeting on the second Sunday of each month down at battlesbridge you couldn't wish to meet a better bunch of lads your be very welcome there and also if you need info or parts you could try mk sportscars at braintree they have a wealth of knowledge about building 7s

'7 Spot' are a great bunch of people.

Wasn’t the old Classic historically around those sort of dates? (Just after the F1 tear down and clean up).

Ah thank you - I recognise that car 😃, that's an excellent photo. My son wanted to walk around the show, so I didn't get to hang around it as much as I would have liked to. When I did though there were always folk to chat with 🙂. The chap next to me with the TVR spent ages polishing it when he arrived, put my car to shame really 😃.

The place to ask technical questions is in the Tech Talk section of the forums, so start a new thread there! There’s also a search facility in each forum or for the entire forum altogether! Here’s an example searching “4Age”.

Well I'm no mechanic so it's just as well that the knowledge base on here is absolutely astonishing! I don't think I've ever seen a post with questions that has not been answered and solved, usually within hours!

Oh we haven't even started yet Richard, still in 1st gear aren't we lads and lasses? 🤣 Be afraid, be very afraid

Did a bit of a erm detour to avoid roads clogged up with stationary traffic yesterday. Made it to Loton. Just not helped by the local HUGE steam rally which seemed to attract the whole of Shrewsbury!

I like that @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative ! Loving the new seats too 😍 I'm excited to see how the 255bhp version compares to the MegaS2000 and Sport250 after the development work.

A beautiful shade of pale orange, one of my favourite oranges 😂

Finally decided to upgrade my front brakes with the Wilwood kit from Rally Design using 260mm vented discs. Forgot to order the new hoses so not going on just yet!

At the "Curburgring" today

A little run out turned into 154mile and just crossing the border

The Drive at Haddo is a new petrolhead café in Aberdeenshire. Popped in this evening mid blat.

I do take the occasional sunny one too 😂

Having a bit of fun with some new photo editing software..... anyone for a bit of mean and moody 😂 Matt's Sport250 Lee's FW Nicks Striker Rachael and Iain's Luego Dave's supercharged MegaS2000

Hello, I’m in LA, California. I got lucky and found an early prelit Ali car. (Thank you Damion for the info) I think it’s an early 1983 car has an Jo cross flow 1275 MG with 4 spd no sync 1st gear. The car is stock outside of an MSD (I might remove now I know it’s early) and an electric fan which I’m leaving since it HOT here. It was in need of TLC when I got it so I’m just slowly getting the car sorted. The car kinda fell in lap so I’m open to any Information if I’m wrong Thanks chris
