I went out for the first proper drive ever (after 600 miles) by myself. Glorious sunshine and decent roads. Maybe I enjoyed myself too much, as 'Life360' (the app we use to keep track of family members) reckoned I had 35 'risky events' over 47 miles...😬. I ended up at my usual haunt (Elstree Aerodrome) for a cup of coffee. One day I'll find a nice vintage aeroplane for the XI to pose against 😃.

Both my cars, Prior to this I absolutely got caught out in Sundays downpour properly drenched, One might say a proper welcome to open top cars haha

we are there (wheels at the warren great morning must have been over 300 cars but these were the best three

I asked ChatGPT for an image of my car with a full FIA roll cage fitted. Not sure it got this quite right! 🤣

I’ve been a Westfield fan for very many years having gone to the factory very many years ago with my brother in law to collect his pre litigation 7 kit. I’ve watched the car being built and over the years morphing into a track orientated vehicle. Over a few beers on the weekend the potential sale of the weapon was muted so I thought why not buy it and then decide what to do with it. Offer accepted and it looks like I’ll soon be a Westfield owner hoping that many on here will be able to assist in my plans for it.

Hi Everyone, New member here, picked up my Westfield Megablade mid week, looking forward to being part of a community with drive outs and track days etc Based up in Manchester

where's westie

Be good for Malvern though. Occupy the kids!

Not mine but westfield sei chassis and mixed sevens parts and with this lump in it. Actually very impressed how it fitted in

Hi all! Having had our August meet one week earlier than usual, the September meet will be this Thursday, also a week earlier! Don't forget that there are a couple of places available for our track day on Friday 19th September. Pics from the last meeting in August.

Have a great day @AndyIoM 🎂 🍺

@mtownsend lots of discussion about it on this forum but you might need to be a full member to search for it

By the campervan? Damn too slow lol!

That was me in 'pictures of my westie'. It was a picture of Wallace and Gromit. If the fact that Wallace and Gromit were in the car didn't give the game away that it wasn't real then the way that the steering wheel was positioned plus the way that the windscreen interacted with pretty much everything really did. It demonstrated that chatgpt had no real knowledge of how cars work.

Thank you Steve. Funny you should say that, as people who came up to me at the aerodrome also thought it was a Jag. Btw, I don't have any Lotus badges on it to give away any clues 🙂.

Happy birthday fellow Manx man. 🍻

... unless you happen to be VERY large that is 😉

I am glad he is up and running Al... that is definitely a mess and would explain the oil everywhere.. I wouldn't know what went first however the damage on the piston looks more like fragment damage rather than detonation? Hopefully I will be back on track end of September..it has been me taking time to mend rather than the car!

Welcome @DannyTGS car looks great! I'm often out in the Peaks, so hope to see you at some point. Runs out are posted in here- Runs out etc

Almost two years late, but I've managed to get my 40th birthday present sorted: A flight experience at Goodwood, in their Harvard. I had an amazing time, and got to fly her for maybe 5 mins whilst we were up,followed by a suitable amount of aerobatics. It turns out, if you don't clench hard enough, you really can start to grey out at the bottom of a 4g loop. 😮 Quick in-flight selfie: The view out over the wing, showing Thorney Island: An ever so slightly adrenaline filled me: I may take up wearing flight suits, as they're rather slimming.

Yes. !!

@Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman strikes again with an amazing shot! @ben1975 and I giving it the full berries chasing @Simon Waterfall Syman84 in the BMW Supercup car down the Wheatcroft Straight

I thought I’d posted this after our track day at Donington on 2nd July. My car ran faultlessly and was great fun throughout the afternoon and evening sessions. Sadly, @Mole’s day was cut short by a cracked chassis, which meant we couldn’t all get out on track together. My friend didn’t have the best of luck either — while I was following him down the Wheatcroft Straight, his car decided to empty all of its engine oil onto the circuit! Second-hand engine sourced and now back in the car. Good job they are nice and cheap! The old setup was running 1 bar of boost on a standard bottom end, with the exception of MaXpeeding rods. The new engine is completely standard — my mate reckons that should still be fine for 1 bar of boost? I’m not so sure after looking at the photos above! 🤦‍♂️ Question for those more knowledgeable (I’m keen to learn): 1) Detonation / pre-ignition? 2) Piston ring gaps too tight? 3) IATs too high? 4) Something else?
