Made it home, part in the dry and then chucked it down for the last third of the trip. What a thrill!! Cheers all...I'm hooked! Speak soon

The Plan! Start June 3rd Nearly 1300 miles. 18 days, 17 overnight stays in order to catch the elusive haggis. Me in my westie and my mate in his Locost seven will undertake the drive from the flat fens in East Anglia and head to the Eastern side of the nc500. We will then head west and back down through the pennines and back home. UPDATE 17 individual hotels or b&bs booked. Must be mad lol

Hi all - thanks for letting me join the club Ever since I first drove a caterham 10 years ago at a palmersport day I've been longing to get my first kit car I'm pleased to say tomorrow is the day (all being well)! Looking forward to, and nervous about, the 3.5hr trip on the train up to Yorkshire to pick it up, and then the 5ish hr drive home to East Herts in the soaking wet - but I guess I'll learn a lot during that first experience... I picked up a 2000 Westfield SE Zetec 1800Q from PistonHeads in this auction - looking forward to chatting with you guys about all things Westie related! https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/19602901?utm_campaign=enews%20bulletin&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Newsletter Send Smart List

The doors with this Westy I’m refurbing were very tired looking with tatty edges and faded cloth, the windows wears quite badly scratched in places, anyway I did some repairs using “Shoe glue”. I've fitted some edging and gave them a really good clean, sprayed the material with autoglym spray dye, and then polished the windows with head light restorer and a sponge buffing pad. quite pleased with the result.

Hi All. Will do another run of calendars for everyone in this post at the weekend. They can sometimes be delayed, so was just waiting to see if they turned up! Thanks Mat

Unlikely the many messages I got about being on the front of the 2026 Calendar, I've only had one member advise they've seen this on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTcl17iiEVA/ https://fb.watch/EMYg-bYUrl/

Not sure about that, I’ve met a few people from Lanarkshire who were a bit flakey.

Thank you to those that made the effort to vote .

Is this it? Because if it is, it’s still there…

Guys don't forget it's our monthly meeting tomorrow the 24th Jan. See you at the Stag 0900 onwards.

Actually if it's not too late in the planning process, I'd suggest you include the Cairngorms in your route up if you can, you won't be disappointed. Probably some of the best roads we have up here, with some lovely long sections and a wee bit different to the West Coast. The drive up to Glenshee and then on to Braemar is amazing and you can get a move on too. If you could fit it in you'd end up at Grantown-on-Spey and then up to Nairn and across to Inverness, missing out the long slog of the A9. Oh man, bring on the Spring and the good weather..!

Yeah you'll love it, will be busy in June with campers and foreign drivers, mainly Dutch as they just love Scotland. Hopefully your doing the full route and if so my advice is to ignore the official route and do it anticlockwise, leaving all the best bits to last. As said above the East Coast is a bit bland by comparison. I've done it 9 times now, but then it's on my doorstep. Sounds like my Euro trips with so many hotels booked, takes a good eye for Admin!

I may see you up there. Will be doing the run with my daughter. Loved it last time.

Not turned a wheel since late Oct I think.. Man it feels good to be out... Itch scratched

Thanks for all the advice folks No idea on the age of the toyo proxies...my old MX5 had them and not sure I trust them much in the wet so will take it gingerly! I'm actually collecting it from James so will say hello from you guys I'm based in SG12 Ware, will keep an eye out for local meet ups and maybe even a few longer ones. Once I've done 200 odd miles what's a few more

Lovely looking car, sure you will have a lot of fun with that. Take it easy on the way back if it’s very wet; lightweight rear wheel drive cars can be lively! I see it has Toyo Proxy TR-1 tyres on it, any idea how old? Possibly even worth checking the pressures in them as they should not be too high, 18 psi is a good place to start.

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.

You’ll love it. The east coast is a bit meh, but the north and west coasts are spectacular. With that timescale you’ve got time to get onto Skye as well. Enjoy!

Its in new hands now i know the person that purchased it

It looked pretty impressive/scary up there. Fine if you don't have to commute i suppose. Not a single flake do here in Lanarkshire

I'm sure he could be persuaded!

More importantly, when are you selling yours

Just to highlight that this meet is on 28th Jan, not 22nd as is listed in the Events Calendar. I will work with Scott to delete the incorrect entries and get them updated, but it will be fourth Wednesday of the month at 19.30 moving forward. Thanks, and apologies for any confusion caused. Stu

Take it easy with those T1R tyres ifit rains Change them at your earliest convenience. I suggest Rainsports or Accelera for all round road tyres.

Can I take the wishbones please?

Nice, only 20 miles from me. Maybe when the weather improves we can go for a spin in the Hertfordshire countryside

Have a great day @Mathew Vernon - Membership Secretary

Many Happy Returns, Matt!

Happy birthday Matt!!

Very true. Can’t think of any situation where you’ll care less though!

Make sure the heater vent (above your thighs) is open before you start. If you're driving solo make sure the passenger one is closed. You'll get some more airflow up the screen. You only really get heat if the fan is running. Once the engine is up to temp your legs should stay fairly warm. You can help keep your hands warm by holding the steering wheel at the very bottom, the air there is warmer. If you can handle the motion of the droplets, rain-x the screen. The wipers aren't always that good and depending on your height might not be clearing the part of the screen you're actually trying to look through. Heat Holder flying helmet style hats are amazing, other option in bad weather is a decent crash helmet that doesn't steam up if it's wet. As stated above, a little speed keeps you drier. There is no such thing as dry...

As the title All new never fitted Heated screen setup Wiper motor setup Over £2000 from westfield £950 collection only

All done,thanks Mat

Thanks. Yes, Andrew and Dale were great. Both very knowledgeable and helpful

Thanks all! Hopefully see you at a club meeting soon

Especially with the lower half and wings in black Welcome

Warm welcome @Guy tolley Great to have you amongst us. Look forward to meeting with you sometime very soon. HB.

to the WSCC @Guy tolley. We hope that you can join us for some of our meetings and events in 2026.

If you like challenges, try wrapping it up again…

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

Can beat this myself as I am a relative New-by, although I’ve seen that background before. Bonus point issued! HB.

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

i purchased a 893 megablade last year. i was also surprised how much fun the early engine is. mines a 2008

Yup,on a y reg so 2001 registered but purchased as a kit a bit before that, and yes still an sc28 model fireblade engine so 893cc although it does go very well, i was suprised just how useable that old fireblade engine is! Its happy round town but does get a bit warm sitting in traffic

Ash would they fit mega s2000. how much are they ? thanks Dean

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

I love that shade of orange
