I’ve just been looking at past Malvern shows for a future article I and a few others are aware of: came across a man in a Kawasaki Green Mankini! Few prominent members in attendance too!

I'm selling my Westy! £11,500 - 07419 832824 - based in Norfolk Built from all new parts and first registered in 2009, now with 13000 miles, 3 previous owners (with me for last 9 years), MOT Sep 2026. I believe factory built but just trying to get proof! Emerald ECU, Weber ITB’s, Raceline sump, Limited Slip Diff, Black Team Dynamics 15” wheels, unmarked Orange body work, in excellent condition, ARB's (currently not on the car), MT75, Wide Track Heated windscreen, Westfield full weather gear and soft bits rain cap, Westfield 4 pot brakes, Racetech quick release steering boss, In line sports Cat, Spax dampers Unmodified and un molested and has been extremely reliable. Ready to go as is, or suitable as a base for modifying.

You can fall out with people Julie with slanders like that! Thanks for the birthday wishes, enjoyed a run in Westie with Annie

Easter Bunny doing delivery duties this time....

I wasn't the only person deciding whether to have the Sunday carvery only to be told it's Saturday, oh crumbs, so tomorrow will feel like Monday and I haven't a clue what day it is, it's CLUB day! yeah that's all that matters. Great to be out with our great car club!! Meeting earlier at Quacker's to have a quick look at my TPS values and general ecu numbers as the revs on cold start seem to be down at 600 rpm for some bizarre reason. Nothing glaringly obvious showed up on a warm engine and, now Ian Kinder has shown me what to do, I will look at the cold engine in the morning. Although Dave mentioned that the OMEX ecu's are clever little sods that can compensate for failing instruments, making diagnosis a challenge. Oh the joys of owning a kit car, never a boring moment, still it made for good photo's of the tread pattern on my shoes Here we are at Quacker's car park before Luke arrived Jake and Jim arriving Inside Quacker's cafe, inside because it was freezing outside Andrew had picked up a screw in his tyre resulting in a slow puncture, Ian Kinder to the rescue again. Luke arrived and we got a fantastic display of the mighty 3.9 litre V8's, these 2 cars are about as similar as 2 Westfield's get. No 2 cars are the same. Off we went on our run out on great wiggly roads with some of the most amazing views you can get in the area, we avoided the tourist spots and flowed very well. Well, most of the time, until I saw the warning triangle for the crossroads, thinking ah that's where we turn left. Nope, it's a farm track, then to the ruddy next one and same again, a farm track, finally on the 3rd warning triangle it was the road we wanted, Derbyshire County Council must have had a 3 for 1 offer that day on crossroad signposts. Worth it though for the view as you come down into Taddington, awesome. That bought us nicely to The Cow Shed, Tideswell where it was far too hot to sit inside, even if you were wearing shorts, Mr K. A few shots of us gadding about at the Cow Shed, please add your photo's of the day too, much appreciated x Dave and Ian leaving with the Honda Roar Really, really excellent to have folks back out now the tax man has been paid and the weather is everso slightly warmer, thank you for making the time to join us and also a great big thank you for the technical expertise that member's of this club share with us XXXXXXX

Golden yellow and black is the best these days. But ai did have a fancy for Asbo orange and black previously. Saw a kawasaki green one and that was rather nice

That's the first westfield I've seen with Cibie headlights and they are cool. reminds me of when I had a MK1 ford escort with 4 x cibie's on it....

A good run round on mainly quiet roads. Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for the usual great planning. Flashbacks to my 'risky rear' pics from our 1st Le Mans Trip in 2017. Apparently @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative thinks I was taking a pic of her tread depth! Only @Jakejmagee and I know the skill required to get round this bend safely! my Bluetooth battery monitor also logs my runs - here’s today route

has to be this colour er these colours then

The harlequin Westfield has been done

Wasn’t sure the Towbar would get much use! But now I’ve combined my two passions (no cruel comments about the football thanks!) it might be one of better ideas

Burton power goodness. Ordered after 10pm on Tuesday, arrived just after lunch yesterday. Great service. Nothing very exciting but enough to get my cylinder head back on. Mark

Not quite the postie... had to drive to Kent, but worth the journey. 3.9 LSD with new crown wheel and pinion for the XI.

Waited 4 months for these! Got them fitted today, I even managed to corner weight the car and set the geo too!

Then lots of head scratching and asking what did I get us into lol

No piccies but tightened all the fuel hose clamps up yesterday after making the unpleasant discovery that 10l of what is now very expensive petrol had very slowly leaked out of the tank over the winter. There was quite a strong smell of petrol in the garage but luckily the leak was so slow that it had evaporated away over time and there are no ignition sources in there. Still, I can think of more pleasurable liquids to spend £15 on… Refilled the tank, put cardboard underneath the area, 24 hours later no leaks. Hoo-rah. Also discovered that the fuel sender unit was turned 90 degrees the wrong way so that the float wasn’t hitting bottom, so loosened the screws and turned it back. Not that it will ever read correctly, they never do but hey, take little victories where you can.
