Hi all, recently pulled the trigger on my first Westfield after realising what I’d been missing out on all these years! I had never previously considered a 7 type car as I’m 6ft4 and never thought I’d fit in one. A conversation with my mate Lee (soon to be on his 3rd westy) got me thinking and pointed me towards Toybox cars which happens to be just up the road from me. What a place that is! Andrew soon had me sitting in various cars and I was pleasantly surprised. In hindsight it should’ve been blatantly obvious, they’re kit cars, they can literally be made to fit. Next thing I know I’m in the passenger seat blatting along the country lanes around Ashby , taking corners at crazy speeds and almost immediately the decision had been made (see the pic below) Hoping there’s some WSCC meets in my local area (Leics/derby/notts), be good to meet up with a few of you guys, get some pointers and check out your rides

This weekend 4 friends and I went Manchester -> Darlington -> Drymen -> Kinlochleven -> Girvan -> Manchester, departing Thursday night and returning Sunday night. Just over 1000 miles all in. Absolutely brilliant trip. I may do a mini write up covering some of the unbelievable roads we traversed. Mixed group of cars that covered 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 cylinders. I am astonished how good Rainsport 5s are. Couple of issues on the car but otherwise very good times. North shore road of Loch Leven Moniaive

What a great day!!!!

Well done to the team A big congratulations to @Andy Malone - Editor and the entire team behind the magazine. The effort, attention to detail, and continued evolution of the publication really shows. Also, a thank you to everyone who contributed – whether through articles, photos, or event coverage. It’s those contributions that keep Westfield World fresh, relevant, and genuinely enjoyable to read. Hedley.

@AndyD-Yellow Peril I can't take the credit. This was all down to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO. So thanks and praise go to Martyn for all the effort and a superb day.

Well, after a short hiatus I am back in the fold (sort of).

Moorfoot Hills nr Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders. A popular place for nutters aka paragliders.

We’ve been staying in Bakewell for the last week with a relative, and today had a walk along the Monsal trail from Monsal Head to Hassop Station Cafe where we had lunch. Along the way, I spotted a sign to the famous Quackers cafe, a regular haunt for the Peak District gang. We didn’t stop there, although I checked for any Westies in the car park as we went by. The views were very nice from the viaduct, the tunnel was fun and the weather kind. We saw three rather chunky looking buggies which I quite fancied a go in, and a Jag with excellent number plate in town. Maybe one day I will trailer the car up here and enjoy some of the wonderful roads myself. Almost forgot to mention, having been a committed Bakewell Tart man for years, we discovered the more authentic Bakewell Pudding this trip. It is dangerously delicious I can tell you!!

Big thank you to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO & Sue Vann a great day! Westfield owners were treated to, a Vulcan Bomber & a club legend!

What an amazing day! Thank you @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO for organising. Really enjoyed seeing you all and the Vulcan too. The Vulcan volunteers were Incredibly informative. Could have chatted to the ex-Vulcan pilot all day. I can’t believe the small size of the cockpit. Those instruments looked incredibly simple for the job the Vulcan had to perform. Andy bomb bay

Thanks all that turned up. We met at hunstanton for breakfast. 9 in total turned up and then off to Cromer for lunch. Then off to a restaurant 40 miles away after that. 153 miles of spirited driving. Others did loads more. Well done.

MK Sportscars Open Day on tour - to Bridge Classic cars

Finished work for the weekend and just back from a run in the sun to destress, can’t beat it!

No idea of towing capacity but AI reckons it’ll pull my tourer??

Took some pictures of my own car during autocross.

It's Westfield Avenue actually Mike. We don't want any "SatNav took me to wrong place" excuses.

Big thank you to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO & Sue Vann a great day! Westfield owners were treated to, a Vulcan Bomber & a club legend!

What an amazing day @Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator organised yesterday.

Outstanding day, very informative, very hands on, with lots of friendly knowledgeable volunteers. Well organised and terrific value for money, would thoroughly recommend to anyone. The chance to go into the cockpit and chat with a veteran Vulcan pilot was a huge bonus. Thank you to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO for organising and the club for subsidising it for the members. A memorable day out, looking forward to see the many photos posted!

Thank you @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO for a great day out, the photos do not do it enough justice I’ll just post this one ……. I’ve just got to edit it because of someone no names mentioned you can work it out for yourselves

Twas not a complaint, merely an observation that when I joined this ‘cult’ I was under the impression that it was a car club, not a hiking club.

Great day out and thanks again Martyn for organising the event.

Me & my lad are coming & another Westfield owner Luay @Louie

Now thats going above and beyond in the interest of public research

Go for it! Sadly I don’t think it qualifies as I didn’t take it, my brother did. He’s a keen photographer and always seems to capture a good shot. full frontal here for you too!

Sorry for the hijack, but this is a stunning picture mate, 100% calendar-worth I'm gonna use it as my wallpaper actually if you don't mind

I picked up a pair of Compomotive Minities on eBay as my road / wet track wheels. I love the look of them on the car.

I’m very sad to say, this has now Sold. Not to a forum member but a young lad very local to me that fell in love the second he saw it. The road test sealed it. I’ve got to say this has been the best forum I’ve been a part of. Many thanks to those that have helped me along the way.

I have done a little bit of towing to get away from it all.

Be careful.

Anyone know the actual towing capacity?

7 cars this morning, with @AndyWAFU joining us for the first time. Me and @marcusb drove over to the Motorist afterwards.

As an added bonus, I included a route march for the group, too! Someone complained about the distance walked, but they will remain nameless, won't they,@ianali!

On the way north for a weekend of borders and West Coast driving

Don’t forget me!

I'll be there.

@Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO, you've inspired me. I've just delved into ChatGPT and you've opened up a whole new world for me! (I'm actually not sure if that's a good thing ).

Warm Welcome @Leo H Plenty of folks local to you. The Derby/Notts area meet at the Clock in Shardlow the first Thursday of the month. Great mix of people and cars. Be nice to see you there soon. https://www.clockwarehousepub.co.uk/?utm_source=gbp&utm_medium=Yext&y_source=1_OTMyODgwNC03MTUtbG9jYXRpb24ud2Vic2l0ZQ%3D%3D Upstairs! You also have the Peak District area too. Recommend joining them. Great driving roads. They have an event this weekend too if you’re available. If you fancy slightly further the Warwickshire area is very active too! Next event for them is a Sprint Trackday. ATB HB.

I didn't want to post before the Warwickshire Trip had taken place, so as not to confuse matters! A few members that couldn't make it to the Wellesbourne museum asked if there was any chance of visiting the Woodford Vulcan, instead, so here we are!! As ever, numbers are limited and I need to confirm with them as soon as possible. So please let me know if you'd like to come. They open at 10am, which is when I suggest we meet. Our slot is from 10.30am. "The Avro Heritage Museum warmly welcomes visiting car clubs during the summer season. As part of the visit, car club members get the opportunity to take a group photograph of the vehicles alongside our Vulcan bomber, the only white example of its type in the world. Car club members are charged standard admission prices (£9) plus an additional £3 per vehicle for the Vulcan photoshoot experience. Cockpit tours can also be booked on the day (subject to availability). There is a cafe on site, too, plus experienced museum "floor-walkers" to answer questions etc. How to get there.

Plan to see you @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and Glen on Sunday. Now all that’s needed is the sun to be out too! Andy

Much that we would love to visit this again, I am working until 10am so the earliest we could get there would be 11.30am. Have fun and we will look forward to more great photo's of Westfield's with a Vulcan, Martyn's trip last weekend looked soooooo amazing.

Changes made Andrew. @aeg

That may be your observation @ianali, but nobody cares!!!!!

Fantastic day out. Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. Thanks to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO for organising. Only mildly moist by the time we got home thanks to the April showers. Mark & Sara

Just giving the car a little clean, putting the polish away and turned around and there she was wanting to go for a drive.

Really enjoyable afternoon, many thanks for organising @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO

Brilliant day. Enjoyed immensely by us both. Thanks so much for organising it Mr&Mrs Vann
