Hi all - thanks for letting me join the club Ever since I first drove a caterham 10 years ago at a palmersport day I've been longing to get my first kit car I'm pleased to say tomorrow is the day (all being well)! Looking forward to, and nervous about, the 3.5hr trip on the train up to Yorkshire to pick it up, and then the 5ish hr drive home to East Herts in the soaking wet - but I guess I'll learn a lot during that first experience... I picked up a 2000 Westfield SE Zetec 1800Q from PistonHeads in this auction - looking forward to chatting with you guys about all things Westie related! https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/19602901?utm_campaign=enews%20bulletin&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Newsletter Send Smart List

Hi all. Just joined the WSCC and recently collected my Westfield. Looking forward to getting out and about asap and hopefully meeting up with some other members!

Can I take the wishbones please?

Nice, only 20 miles from me. Maybe when the weather improves we can go for a spin in the Hertfordshire countryside

Thanks for all the advice folks No idea on the age of the toyo proxies...my old MX5 had them and not sure I trust them much in the wet so will take it gingerly! I'm actually collecting it from James so will say hello from you guys I'm based in SG12 Ware, will keep an eye out for local meet ups and maybe even a few longer ones. Once I've done 200 odd miles what's a few more

Have a great day @Mathew Vernon - Membership Secretary

Many Happy Returns, Matt!

Happy birthday Matt!!

Lovely looking car, sure you will have a lot of fun with that. Take it easy on the way back if it’s very wet; lightweight rear wheel drive cars can be lively! I see it has Toyo Proxy TR-1 tyres on it, any idea how old? Possibly even worth checking the pressures in them as they should not be too high, 18 psi is a good place to start.

Make sure the heater vent (above your thighs) is open before you start. If you're driving solo make sure the passenger one is closed. You'll get some more airflow up the screen. You only really get heat if the fan is running. Once the engine is up to temp your legs should stay fairly warm. You can help keep your hands warm by holding the steering wheel at the very bottom, the air there is warmer. If you can handle the motion of the droplets, rain-x the screen. The wipers aren't always that good and depending on your height might not be clearing the part of the screen you're actually trying to look through. Heat Holder flying helmet style hats are amazing, other option in bad weather is a decent crash helmet that doesn't steam up if it's wet. As stated above, a little speed keeps you drier. There is no such thing as dry...
