First little run out this year due to all the rain. MOT booked in a couple of weeks, so nice to make sure it all ran fine before then. Lovely R5GTT filling up at the same time too. Feels like spring is finally on the way with today's nice weather.

Well I hope you had a great day , I had a productive one in the garage and even had some help she smiling so I’m still in the good books for now !!!

@aeg you won't find any cake under there will you? so hurry yourselves up, it's March next weekend and time to pay the nice tax man. We, however, met at The Whitworth where they sell lots of lovely food, this is us in the car park and this is us in the cafe Dave had to scoot off but it was lovely to see him and thank you for the advice on the steering wheel, 15mm spacer purchased , thank you Ian for the link don't they look after you xx Off we went on a sunny run round the Peak District finally feeling like Spring is coming. We arrived at The Yondermann Cafe and found a nice parking spot next to a friendly Mustang owner, of course he was friendly, he was from Barnsley, a true Yorkshireman. At 4.6 litre and V6, he let me get in and start it up, ooooooooo, that put a smile on my face. Parked at The Yondermann Some had already moved over to summer shorts Chris joined us for lunch and popped along to the next stop for cake too, he's well trained After discovering it was someone's birthday, we had a good excuse to nip down to The Pavillion, Baslow for cakes Parked in Baslow with Ian's black cloud Monkey's Tea Party So that was it, we managed to have a great day out and we didn't get wet, nothing short of a miracle. I was just missing one of my Winter Warriors, Gnasher, I hope he is ok and look forward to seeing him again soon x Thanks for a lovely day out, it's been superb. We are on holiday next weekend but will be back out the weekend after, weather permitting, see you then x

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'...

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.

Sounds great, would be amazing to do. I’m in Andy Did similar a few years back with ‘Just Jane’ with ….@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) and @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO East Kirkby, Lincs.

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

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

I was hoping to get on with some of the many jobs to do on my westie today but my little grandson wanted me to build his mclaren 287 pieces later complete perfect colour for a fast car and just like any car rebuild a pile of bits that go nowhere but did have some time left to get started on my toy.

This is a chance to get up close to the Vulcan whilst the crew demonstrate some of the systems, explaining the operations and some of challenges of keeping everything working as it should. Towards the end of the visit we will be able to line up the cars under the Vulcan for a group photo. See the example pic below borrowed from another club! This visit is scheduled to start at 1.30pm on Saturday 18th April, and should last approximately 2.5 hours. We are limited to a maximum of 24 people and 12 cars. This visit is being supported by the club for WSCC members by covering £5 of the normal £15 fee, leaving you £10 per person to pay. Due to the restrictions on numbers I will need bookings in advance, so please PM me your interest. Priority is to Warwickshire Area members first. There is a very good cafe on the airfield so I am proposing to head there for around 11.30am for brunch before the 2 minute drive to the Vulcan for our visit later.

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

Do it!

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

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

Meet at the Terrace Cafe, The Whitworth, Station Road, Darley Dale, Matlock, DE4 2EQ, 10am. We have met there a few times before in the large car park, that is free if you input your car registration number into the machine in the cafe within 30 minutes of arrival. From Matlock take the A6 towards Bakewell for 2 miles, when you pass the BP garage on your right look for the traffic lighted pedestrian crossing, pass this to keep going and the beautiful old building on your left is The Whitworth, as signposted. Turn left into the car park, which is a bit hidden, if you go through the speed cameras you have gone too far. (Don't turn left down the big road junction onto Station Road as that will deliver you to the back of the building and we will have a jolly good laugh at you). A day of the usual driving routes and banter on a full board basis, come and join us quick while there is a break in the rain. Who is coming?

Just incase your worried I'm going to be out of practice in April @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative this is my second fresh cream Belgium bun today And I had a slice of Sicilian lemon and black currant cake yesterday. So all is good except my cholesterol levels Looks like you had a good day and the weather was lovely today. We'll see you all soon hopefully.

Have a great day @AndrewBClarke @Craig Spooner

I'm hoping to be along

That's OK, it will be great to see you after such a long time x

Working this weekend, but might pop over for breakfast, will see how Saturday goes. (Be in the tin top though)

Meeeee!!!!!!!

Ah i see, the top three are gold (yellow) silver and red...........

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.

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.

Yes attending Sat/Sun - BRG Westy

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!

Not greenhorn then

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!

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!

Happy Birthday @Nick Mucklow Have a great day!

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

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

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

Welcome. Looking forward to meeting you both
