The Mini is all loaded up ready to take to work tomorrow to utilise a nice flat workshop floor. The main job is sorting the spongy brake pedal out. I am taking it to work so that I can utilise the private land to test the brakes and bed the pads. If I get time I hope to swap the seats as well

Another new member joins the club (and boosts the Somerset contingent ) I’ve been on the forum for a couple of months, firstly as a voyeur and recently as a full member. I found my car on here, which I collected on Saturday (more below) Firstly though I have to say that my initial findings of the club are a revelation from my former kit car ownership experiences. There is a wealth of information; the website/forum is easy to use and clearly has been well invested in and maintained; the club magazine is as good as a shop bought publication; and the help of other members/committee has already proved invaluable. I hope to be able to contribute in my own small way; and so to start (as I know you all like them) some pictures from my first journey, the trip back from Shropshire – we took the scenic route over eight hours! Loving the car and hope to meet up with some of you soon. Dave

Sorry gûys I just assumed you would be members of this illustrious club as well.

I’ll sign the front cover for you too if you like?

Bit early to be on the beer?

What DE04* said! Adjustment is at the gearbox end. It’s also quite common practice to adjust it until the release bearing is just contacting the clutch cover. This will shorten its life slightly, though in a Westfield, rather than a daily driver, it’s almost irrelevant! But what it does do is stop a slight rattle that you can get from the Type 9 at idle, in neutral, with no clutch depressed.

If a type9 cable clutch the adjustment is gearbox end 2 x 17mm open ended spanners if I recall correctly. 2 nuts are locked together,undoo them adjust the lock back together it's very easy.

Jim, if I'm good to go on Sunday where do you want to meet up and join the rable from Manchester.

You have to pay big time to see the inner circles events. You are clearly not worthy

"if you're name's not down, you're not coming in"

Can't tell you unless you're 'hardcore'

Tell her your going to take her on a nice picnic over looking the coast at Newquay and act all surprised when the coast road is closed for a hill climb

Crikey! He did say your car was damn quick! I only just managed three figures myself but didn’t look to see what Adam did in my car...

Good grief! That's 10mph faster than I've ever managed at that point - and you're two-up.

Pity as they came to the area club meet last night asking for you #mrnoshow#

Sump kit from Caterham parts. The sump is made by Titan, came direct from Titan in Titan branded wrapping, but Titan aren't allowed to sell direct as they are under contract with Caterham. Gary

Thanks Chris, but gonna mount the engine in my own special (that's what my mum says anyway) way

Between your legs son!! Seriously though, it is if you look carefully.The large black one. Dear lord, this is getting worse, i think I'd better stop now. He does have one and wears it at all times!

Hi Jeff, Hold off spending time looking, a Ford dealer in Switzerland has kindly posted one of three he had on the shelf, didn't even charge me! Thanks though. Kev

Westy wouldn't start . Something different this time but not had time to investigate; something for the weekend.
