I know this has probably been chewed over a number of times im still going to throw it out there.I had just put the megablade clutch back in and decided to take it for a little shake down I only have an aeroscreen so always wear a crash helmet thank God I do minding my own business traveling at about 50 mph a car passed me bang a large stone hit me straight between the 👀 eyes I was surprised at the force of the impact jolting my head back slightly and I thought instantly if I hadn't been wearing a helmet that would have been at least an eye gone at worst a knock out if I had been going considerably faster within national speed limits of course like all Westfield drivers it could have been a different outcome the visor held up really well with just a scuff I think it must have flexed and absorbed some of the impact a peak cap the wrong way round with shades might look cool but it definitely won't stop much get your helmet on be safe and have fun.

Probably counts as cheating. Like taking steroids for the Olympics, a totally unfair advantage 😂

This is what I run… you put a lot of money into the car, track days and your personal safety should come first. Yes take some getting used to, but after watching club motor sport and if it goes wrong your head is a dead weight and over extension of your neck is game over! It also pins you in your seat a lot better.

A run out to Wellesbourne today!

And once you've found a decent paint shop that can supply you with a matching green paint get them to spray it orange job done.

I randomly drove past that air field instead going main road way around. Also to break trip up and I wanted to be nosey at planes and couldn't believe they had Vulcan airplane there. I was on road trip to Le man 2025 heading to Café & Machine, Clarkson's Farm/pub lol.

YES you can't imagine how much the body will stretch/deform under accident conditions Long before hans, a friend got punted into the wall in an RX-7. When we belted him in, helmet could not get close to the roll cage, maybe 3-4" clearance He got a concussion and cracked helmet 2 years ago at a vintage race, some dolt in a formula ford tried to win the race in turn one, first lap took out at least 2 others, one of which went OVER the tire wall, which is not close to the track absolutely totaled the car, but driver walked away with bruises and cracked helmet, thanks to HANS

What if I put an orange go faster stripe on the orange XI?!

We used to make the Nissan Primera GT for Japan. As well we made the same car for 70+ countries. There was a sister plant in Japan making the Primera and other cars. They sent jap spec parts to the UK. We would assemble the car with a huge amount effort to ensure that the car was 110% as best it could be. Fit a sticker on the front fenders "made in the UK 🇬🇧" ship it back to Japan. Only GT models were made. There was a TV in the centre infotainment screen that was illegal in EU countries but not out there. I guess it was traffic jams and low speed making safer. In general tho they were built better. We did underseal all cars except cars to some desert places where the underseal would attract sand. (it's actually a wax thats used). The jap culture is very into the cosmetics of the car first and the function 2nd. So buying one might be a good deal

I have a windscreen and was wearing a beanie hat when an acorn clouted me on the forehead last year. I was doing about 50 mph and It must have fallen at just the right moment to miss the windscreen and it was a case of me hitting it rather than it hitting me. I had no idea what it was until I pulled over and found it in the footwell. Even though it hit the beanie, it left a nasty bruise and didn't half make I jump.

Finished at Harewood Hillclimb today! Spotted this little Westfield sign. Only made bigger by me & the couple who kindly took the picture. Thought I was mad!

Just wanted to add my thanks to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and the team for a great day. Always enjoy this day out and we were really lucky with the weather being perfect for a great track day.

I'm sorry to announce the passing of Andy Cutts, @MR.C suddenly last Tuesday. Andy had been out on his bike, then felt unwell afterwards and taken to hospital after suffering a heart attack. He had not been unwell before. A life long biker who came to Westfields around 5 years ago and also a keen green laner, who helped out many of us with his mechanical knowledge, including finding a dodgy connection in my ignition system. Andy had retired earlier this year, he was 62. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Helen.
