Hello I'm luke rom north Wales a new member just acquired my first Westfield this week, must say i love it not surer why i haven't had one sooner after owning a variety of cars, i have joined the forum to gather as much information as possible as i don't know an awful lot. the car is a 2001 seiw in green has a red top engine and it goes really well i don't know to much regarding the engine itself i was told its had a fresh build a couple years ago with pistons etc.. and been told it has uprated cams but not sure as he didn't know and no receipts. i look forward to learning about the car and getting out in it next summer its a bad time to get one coming into winter but I'm very impulsive and once ide seen it had to have it

New t shirt, simple just like me 🤣

Just in case there are any doubters out there- I am still alive, I still have the car, it's still fantastic fun and it still makes me grin stupidly. Even better, my youngest (6) thinks it is better than Alton Towers. "How quickly does the red stick (odo needle) get to 60?" Was today's question. The answer was lost in cackling and shouts of 'make it go faster'!

Looks like your picture isn't working. We like pictures don't we guys! 👍

Ahhh ok not sure why il try again

Breakfast meeting time again. Next Sunday, 19th October at The Darrington Hotel, Darrington, Pontefract, WF8 3BL from 10am. Hopefully we'll still have some good weather. Anyone?

Well Charlie, I'm using the Blacktop cam cover disguised as a Lotus Twincam cover. The smoother cover of the blacktop lends itself better to this than the heavily profiled Silvertop. Simple as that really !!

I'm pretty sure it's the factory's ex-SwiftTune car. Lovely thing, but nothing to do with the XV.

Picture of mine just before Safety Inspection.

Nice breakfast turnout for the Essex & N Kent regulars, still dry!

Solo run out to The Motorist this morning, no bacon sarnie though, the queueing was immense. I knew the Cobra club was meeting there, so thought I'd show them up!

A little bit of miscommunication meant that we didn't meet up with Tim for the drive up to GBS, but we met there instead. Both Tim Lawton and Andrew Clarke had to leave early due to other commitments, so that left us and my friend Mark to head to the cafe for lunch. After an excellent lunch, Mark made his own way home in his BMW, whilst we headed out to the 'On Freedom's Wings', Lancaster memorial just off the A46. We took some pics from the viewing point in the nearby road. It looked fantastic in the sunshine!

A few pics from today

For ages I have been looking for a way of storing tools, tyreweld, compressor, scissor jack, spare throttle cables, etc. in the FW boot so the collection of seemingly random items I carry don't slosh around.... I also wanted the ability to easily take things out when I'm at trackdays. After a few pointless purchases that didn't do the job, I stumbled across some cheap bags when buying some DIY stuff from my local Toolstation. Thankfully in real life they are actually black rather then green! The 450mm slots in nicely (if you don't have it too full) in the smaller lower portion of the boot, and the 750mm sits above it below the lid. You could probably use two 750's if you felt really flush and wanted to spend the extra two hundred pence. The 750mm even accommodated the large PX600 airbox I used for trackday noise reduction. They aren't the last word in quality, but its a "first world problem" solved for just 12 quid! My Scottish genes are very satisfied 😂

Additional boot space is an idea I'm brainstorming. As my FW boot has a fuel pump and swirl pot in it.

Well done Surrey gang and those from Hampshire and Sussex. What I thought was going to be two of us turned into 7 this morning. We gambled with the weather a bit but were rewarded with a decent coffee and bacon roll at the torque moto cafe this morning.

After not having the best couple of weeks this arrived today Nothing like abit of black gold to lighten the mood 😍 I best get that autoclave fired up got some orders to do Stay lucky
