Saturday dinner time, sat doing nothing in particular, some friends say they're going skiing, anyone want to join them. An hour later I'm at their house booking it. Monday morning I'm on my way to Andorra for 3 days skiing. 13 years since the last time and 39 from my first time on snow. I've had a great time and can't wait to do it all again next year. This is what retirement is all about.

Great news! ☕🎉 All Westfield Sports Car Club 40th Anniversary mugs have now been posted up to and including Tuesday 13th January, including those heading over to Europe. On behalf of the Westfield Sports Car Club Committee, I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who purchased an anniversary mug. Your support genuinely means a lot and helps us celebrate this fantastic milestone together. Enjoy your mug, and here’s to 40 years of WSCC. More to come! 🏁🍾 HB

After 12 years of ownership I have decided to sell my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0 U.K. car. Owned by me since November 2013 and before that by another WSCC member. Approx 96500 miles, used initially as a second car and then more recently as third to my BRZ. Large file of receipts, never welded since I’ve had it and not before as far as I’m aware. In recent years most of the mileage has been done driving between car shows. I have not modified the car in any way as I prefer to keep them as standard, although the previous owner did tell me when I bought it that this has a Prodrive back box fitted. Being a 2004 car this also falls into the cheaper road tax bracket. I have always kept on top of any maintenance and major jobs completed over the 12 years I’ve owned it. The Clutch was replaced shortly after I bought the car and the timing belt last year at the same time as the last service and MoT which was at 96552 miles, the transfer box has been rebuilt with new seals and bearings at 82000 miles and a new alternator and battery was fitted at 95014 miles, 6 months MOT till July 2026. The Airbag recall has been done by Subaru in 2016. Large file of receipts for servicing and MoT’s going back to 2007. Like all Impreza’s do at some time in their life this does have a parasitic battery drain from the tracker. Despite my best efforts I’ve not managed to find where it is so I can disconnect it, but I keep the car plugged into a charger when not being driven. The car is fitted with a tow-bar but I still have the brackets which fit behind the rear bumper should you wanted to remove the tow bar and refit these. I will be sorry to see the car go but as I am now working from home it’s difficult to justify owning this and two other cars and in the last year I only covered 100 miles. £6750 or very near offers. I am located in Fordham to the North West of Colchester and viewings are possible most days.

Just before Christmas I fitted my new header tank: I had to cut the old connecting hose off and fit a new one: I had to order a new hose clamp which arrived the next day. Then my mother came down with some sort of norovirus thing and my wife came down with flu. Just as they were getting themselves sorted out I came down with some sort of lurgi as well. But, today, I finally got the hose clamp fitted: It only took three weeks 🫣 David

They always send im pizza boxes New hoses for wilwood and Golf calipers

New tyres to replace my 20 year old budget ones. I was getting the wheels refurbished today, but I seem to have booked a skiing holiday somehow.

We will be visiting the Anderton Boat Lift on the 17th May. We will have a display area reserved for our Westfields, there is a nice cafe for breakfast and canal boat rides are available if you fancy something a bit more leisurely. Please let me know if you can attend so we can ensure we have enough spaces reserved. Anderton Boat Lift, Lift Lane, Anderton, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 6FW.

Great start to the year with our annual pub lunch with Surrey and surrounding area owners. Well done to Holly and Rob for bringing the Christmas spirit & Well done for Andy and daughter for being brave enough to bring their car! Fingers crossed for plenty of sunshine and fun in 2026!

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!

Swapped all the clips on the lower coolant hoses from nasty rusty jubilee clips to full stainless Mikalor hose clamps and refilled coolant. This should mean I have a new leak tomorrow and airlocks galore in the cooling system 🙄

Man flu for the last week and builders in the house so we're living in a bed sit atm.. Need some summer days, run out in the westy, picnic in the woods.. Can't wait.. 👍

I’m going on 26 Jan, will pop some photos into this thread. Looking forward to it. Andy

Mine arrived today too. Wrapping was super impressive, took me about half an hour to get into it 😆 Cheers 👍

Can anyone else match this - two mugs nearly 40 years apart! I’m pretty sure the mug on the right is c.1988/89 from when I had my 7SE.

It is an amazing feat of engineering, I was never fully convinced how my narrowboat would fare on the river, I know I could have almost just done a u turn and comeback up I just didn't see the point although I do wish I'd have experienced the whole thing, It's a big draw to the region and a shame its been out of action for some time now, It was a great place to live especially for my dog at the time, she loved exploring Marbury country park

Got the mug as well, shipped to my employer UK office. I'll be collecting it in the summer, but it looks great from the pictures 👍

Arrived today

We took our narrowboat on the lift a few years ago. Absolutely stunning feat of engineering. I recall chatting to one of its operators about the costs of spare parts and maintenance. I was told the hydraulic rams had been replaced at a cost of over one million pounds. Produced in Italy apparently…

Thank you Captain. However, I am certain you are mistaken since I did fill in Form JZ1709-F, Permission To Relocate To A New Domicile. Indeed, I completed it in quadruplicate such that I retained a copy for my records which I am now attempting to retrieve in order to prove you wrong. I suspect your copies got lost in the labyrinthian state of your "in" and "out" boxes. It really is something about which you should get a grip.

First meeting of 2026 is due this week. I'm glad the snow has gone, but it is looking wet later this week! Join us to discuss winter upgrades and Westfield related Christmas presents. Hope to see you there! The Falcon Hotel, Birmingham Road, Hatton, CV35 7HA from 7.30pm.

I have no idea but if I were betting, I'd say yes basic govt greed I did find some lenses over here, easy once I knew what to look for

It’s a no from us ……. But it’s not raining 🫣but you can discuss my winter projects New rear calipers so the handbrake will work this year 🤣 and how @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and me ( the apprentice) change my cam belt with vernier pulleys , all the best guys have a great chat and see you soon luv Andy & Becky

Some Essex club members are taking the opportunity to combine a Morgan Factory tour with the Malvern show weekend on Friday May 29th. We've booked the 11am slot (2hour tour) and would love for any other interested members to join us! Here's the tour booking link: https://experience.morgan-motor.com/factory-tours/#booknow

Thanks to the generous support of the members. I am currently boxing each mug or mugs ready for safe transportation. Hoping to have completed this by the end of the week having sold them much faster than anticipated. Monday Tuesday deliveries I would expect. ATB Hedley.

It's like the tide, no point trying to beat it, it's the way it is. It'll soon turn and summer come back again. The important thing is to enjoy it while its here and not let somthing else hold you back.

Yea, I'm planning to go to Scotland again at some point weather dependant. So far. IOM week booked, not the bike week unfortunately. So far. Don't do track days as I find it pointless

Have a great day @Mark19691 & @Steve Bosworth 🍺🍺🎂🎂

Get some events booked, at least you have something concrete to look forward to then. We’re doing our first regularity rally in march, got a trip to France sorted in May, Malvern at the end of May, another rally in July and the Gold Cup in August. That’s just for starters👍

I used to run those tyres (Nankang NS-2R) a few years ago, back when the softer compound (TW 120) was still road-legal, and on a much heavier car (around 1050 kg). They were genuinely good tyres — very predictable and resistant to overheating, even during long track sessions. That said, they were already quite limited in damp conditions, and in the rain they really required a lot of caution. In your case, the 180 TW version is a noticeably harder compound, which may be even less suitable given the very low weight of a Westfield and the likelihood of encountering wet or cool road conditions. On a dry day, they will of course be better than running on 20-year-old tyres. However, for normal road driving, semislicks rarely make practical sense — they take longer to warm up, offer little advantage at legal speeds, and come with clear compromises in wet grip and overall usability. A good modern road tyre is often the more balanced and safer choice.

You've never driven with me!

I used to live local and have done this tour twice. It's well worth doing; some great old fashioned skills still in use there.

What a great idea!

Yorkshire Breakfast meeting next Sunday, 18th January at The Darrington Hotel, Darrington, Pontefract, WF8 3BL at 10am. I'll be there but not in the Westfield.

Welcome! I have a Megablade which will soon(ish) be down in Surrey. Do you know when yours was built?

Wirral and North Wales will again have a stand at this year’s Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park. This is one of the best events in the motorsport calendar, featuring mk2 Jags, F5000s and plenty of period cars. Held over the bank holiday weekend, August 29/31. You can put your Westfield on our stand by following the link, and get discounted admission tickets. https://displaymyvehicle.msv.com/calendar/oulton-park/2026/august/oulton-park-gold-cup/apply?group=385d12e4-fedb-4efd-bb4b-38a0452a8eaf And club code is 9122.

Thanks very much. Had an overnight in Dublin, which was fantastic and highly recommended

Thanks Ian👍🏻

still available

Welcome from snowy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 you've picked the correct colour....and enjoy.

A nice but chilly drive to and from the Ace Cafe 'Cold Turkey' meet this morning. Plenty of bikers, some classic cars and some good chats. The XI started up well without a choke and ran faultlessly.

Santa bought me some heated gloves, for winter Westy fun 🤩

not exactly delivered by postman but just been to collect this for my megablade so lucky to find such a clean used cage local came with a nice set of carbon mirrors as a bonus 😀

Finally got to pick the car up today and got it home on one of the only dry days we are going to have for a good few days lol Thanks to Toybox Cars Its a 2.0 Ford Pinto with dual 45 webers, hopefully in the new year I shall start playing around with the engine a bit more, maybe a nice new head and cam from Burton power and then see what kind of power I can get from it. But for now will enjoy it as is well when we get some decent weather haha

Westfield long range fuel tank Never used This would be expensive to buy new £100 collection only !!!

Think it was September or end of August, I’m based in Manchester

A breakfast on a sunday sounds very good! I only get some sundays free, but ill be sure to looknout for the mext one that im free on! And heres a picture from this morning

After a number of issues since a fresh engine, gearbox and chassis rebuild. Just finished refitting the engine and gearbox after repairs to both. Also fitted a new propshaft and various other bits and pieces. Just in time for tomorrow's trackday! 🤞😀

And....... breathe!!! The red rocket has a fresh MOT! She had been laid up for 4 months due to work and family commitments (so needed a few quid thrown at her) but I'm so pleased my happy place is back on the road!!!
