Couple from yesterday’s track day taken by my brother….

First time out of the garage since before Christmas. On it's new tyres too.

I have altered the terms and colours of the ranks and icons. Pray I do not alter them further. Note that the top three ranks are gold, silver and of course, red. Why? Isn't it obvious? No doubt one or two of you will be dissatisfied with these. For those one or two seeking redress from this perceived injustice, I invite you to click on my disclaimer. I reserve the right to alter them further for my own personal amusement. A few of you will remember one summer when my nickname was the Prince of Darkness, when certain members wound me up and found their user names and profile photos and even mailing addresses mysteriously changed to something slightly unflattering but highly amusing to the membership. The Prince rarely appears but when he does, it's memorable - just sayin'...

Do it!

There isn’t one. It’s just part of the software as a bit of fun. If someone tells you that it’s needed, please tell me so I can get them scheduled for a brain scan. What term would you recommend instead? Keep in mind that the “labels” are only visible if you go into an individual account. They’re not broadcast under every post someone makes. In its own way, they encourage people to post more to reach the next level. It’s red. Don’t make me go backstage and change the icon colour to red because you and everyone in the club knows I will.

I’ve not really grasped the need or point of this system. Labelling new members as “pedestrians” hardly seems the most inspiring way to welcome them and encourage engagement. Anyway, surely the ranking should be by car colour. With green at the top. Obviously.

Measured in imperial and metric.

Trekking in Nepal and thought I'd share these pictures to take your mind off the weather back home

Well done to @Paul Wren this morning. And wearing shorts!

Hi Nice to hear that you have good experience with Christoph. I called him and he answered. We had a nice chat. Problem solved I think Delivery in a few weeks. Best regards Nils Jakob

Me too! Never taken my Westie on a track, but don’t tell anyone that!!

How about Rising Star as the first category? Oh, and can everyone react to this post as I’ll get points! Thanks so much in advance.

I’m now highly tempted to change the first two level icons to “L” and “P” plates…

It's time for our regular monthly meeting this Thursday at The Falcon. The weather is not looking great, so I don't expect anyone will be in a Westfield. However, come and join us for a chat and get your name down for some of the 40th anniversary events for this year.

Did you know Admins can manually remove points from accounts and knock you down a level or two? Just a rumour of course, I can’t imagine anyone I know doing that…

I’m sure that there has never been a fawn coloured Westy Dog? Surely that should also be Chrome Yellow??

Ohhh great work @Captain Colonial, I’m now a Track Demon. If only this were true!

Give Christoph a call he will not scam you he is very nice genuine guy and his english is very very good

I ordered a carbon scuttle a couple of years ago and had no problems. Give Christoph a call, I don't speak German but his English is ok

Not greenhorn then

Hi! How is your German? I could send them a message in their mother tongue... Funnily enough at Easter I happen to visit family in that region, but Steinfurt is a bit too far to just pop round and knock on their door, sorry.

But yellow is top, we all know that! I do like the idea of different ranking methods, interactions, visits, replies etc, or im going to be pedestrian for a long time!

I'll be bringing free ear plugs and a better pillow this year

We’ll be there ( not on holiday ) cheers Andy & Becky

As @Mark (smokey mow) said, 1 inch tall, without verniers I can’t measure accurately, but the ID looks to be 1/2 inch, OD is just over 20mm, 0.8 inch or 4/5 inch, take your pick

We should be attending. Inside please

Every country (even within the EU) has different registration possibilities. But yes — the car we’re discussing here is truly a unique beauty!!!

Stunning car. Those cars would sell in a heartbeat overseas it they were at least 20 years old, just seen another one for sale on FB reg. 2017. GLWTS.

Jesus what a beauty - good luck with sale!

Yes attending Sat/Sun - BRG Westy

Have a great day @Nick Mucklow

Cheers buddy. Hope that u r ok.

From memory they’re 1” as the extended harness eye bolts have a 2” long thread.

Brand new ones? If so, I’ll measure it when it arrives.

Thanks @Insuranceman & @Mark (smokey mow), ordered one through Westfield, was hoping to avoid the postage cost, but turns out there’s a few things on there we wanted anyway so it wasn’t all that bad in the end. thanks again!

I've received information from Silverstone events team that they will be opening Car club entries for this years BRDC classic by the end of February..

Happy Birthday @Nick Mucklow Have a great day!

Happy birthday Nick, hope you have a great one Andy & Becky in

Thank you . We will need volunteers and will be posting a request in the not too distant future. I'll put you both down at the top of the list Many thanks for your offer.

I assume you’ve tried Westfield? https://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/shop/1417056-harness-eye-bolt-mounting-spacer-7670#attr=

@Craigieboy received today, mint, very pleased with it THANK YOU xxx

Just make sure you have enough thread showing through the bottom of the chassis threaded sleeves

I used these and had no issues at IVA

Hi Martin @Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator Will you be looking for volunteers this year? if so, @Terence Arthur & myself are planning to support Friday thru to Sunday to set up & strip down. We’re be camping too if available… And bonus, I’m sure Tez will support with one of the 40 Red cars…

At least 6 of us from Essex group will be there from Friday late afternoon to Sunday midday.

Further update from Silverstone events team: they are planning on offering car club discounted tickets for the BRDC classic. Hoping to release them by the end of February. Update from Woodlands Camping Team: Camping pitches need to be booked directly with Woodlands campsite. They will be released soon (sorry no dates provided). They recommend subscribing to their mailing list which can be found at the bottom of their web site www.silverstonewoodlands.co.uk

Hi James, Great to hear my previous car is still in the club - it was my first Westfield and I absolutely adored that car; I was totally gutted that I had to sell it. Wishing you the best of luck in the speed series. I’m hoping to go and watch a few events this year so will pop over and say hello. I’m 99% certain I bought them direct from Protech, but it could have been Westfield themselves. I remember speaking to the factory to buy something or other, and was totally upsold, hence the wide track upgrade etc. I’ll continue to search through my old emails and see what I can find. Mat

Welcome. Looking forward to meeting you both
