Well, the challenge is now officially over. If I'm being honest, I'm disappointed that it didn't strike a chord with more members and take off the way I wanted it to, but that's the breaks sometimes. Anyway, I'm a man of my word, so congratulations to individual winner @Paul Baker and to local area winners @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset and his members. A small, cheap but personalised engraved trophy is on its way to you - enjoy!

Big shoutout to @Westfield Chesil Limited, after UPS managed to lose my first order of front hub grease caps, Ed and Jason managed to sort me another pair in time ahead of my track day tomorrow. Cheers lads!

Great turnout at the East Anglia christmas meal. We had a good third of our group there. Roll on 2026 and In the meantime Merry christmas

Great to see everyone tonight and as Scott said, great food too!

A new record?

Good luck 🤞

Have you got your pilots licence @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO

@Tim (Sideways) Johnson - Club Treasurer I did sneak into a bus depot to take this pic. I'm not sure I'm daft/brave enough to try to get airside................. or am I........................

super fast hoodie

Plenty of liquid refreshments and a great festive curry, thanks chaps!

More to follow @Naranja_Al

no idea mines full of nuts and bolts in the garage 🤣

All set for the Christmas meal tomorrow. Looking forward to all the Christmas jumpers and of course the food!!!

I did a post ages ago about Bagpusitis, I told you it was real and highly contagious, did you listen? And now look! 😂

So the bus drivers license wasn't enough, Ian?

Those Subaru Brats were great cars for fun in the 70s. The rear jump seats in particular were great and probably plenty lethal but still fun and legal back then. You could ride in the back and chat with pretty girls at traffic lights (and potentially meet up with them later) and drink beer at the same time because the alcohol wasn’t in the cab of the truck itself, so legal 👍. Also, you could park backwards at a drive-in movie theatre and sit in the back in the warm evening nights. Of course, being the angel 😇 that I was (and still am), I did not participate in those sorts of things. Oh no…

Had to cut the grass today. Primroses flowering - even the clematis is in flower. Rhubarb is coming along. Westy winter upgrades and servicing done and cleaned ready for the spring shows. Presume everyone else is ready!!

Thanks to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO for organising a great Christmas meal at The Falcon, very enjoyable and excellent food. 👍 Had a rather stupendous tyre blowout about a mile short of the venue which was unnecessarily interesting, but luckily the breakdown engineer showed up within 15 minutes and I got to the venue just in time for starters. Although my Irony Detector pegged out when I sat down to find a gift from @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman of a pack of four Westfield tyre valve stem caps… 🤦‍♂️ Thanks though, Hedley 👍

See you there, sans jumper though!

Could you cut the sleepers in half and turn them round?

I have some with a built in bottle jack and they are fantastic. Drive onto them almost flat then jack them up. Locking mechanism when jacked + use axle stands too

31l fitted with custom vent loop. Thanks to @Rednop1for the tank Hope this tank won't leak from the vent nipple. For sale the old 21l tank, in case someone might be interested.

Ready to see if my ECU is on the blink... 🤞 Calendar arrived also 👌

Watching some Caterham Caribbean Cup at Bushy Park in Barbados 😎

Two Westfield related deliveries today😀😀

so sad to hear you’re still not well. Hope you’re feeling better soon. All the best. Dave

I've got 4, I think. One black one like John's broken one, and 3 Blyton weekend ones of varying vintage. But I can't be arsed posting one, it might break on the way.

The Club logo wrapped around a tin mug. Come on guys, we're better than that. Is there anyone in the Club that could improve on that? I would ask my 4 year old great grandson for advice, but he's too busy at play school. And he's no mug. 😆

Good shout. Do they hold their heat well though? Cold tea is a many-times-a-day occurrence for me.

I advise you absorb the cost invest in a damage proof mug 😎 https://logothatpolo.co.uk/product/mug-tea-coffee-enamel-tin-mug-wscc/

Blimey, it would be cheaper to buy some heat resistant gloves and carry on using that one 😂

My work iPhone SE has just had iOS 26 loaded to it. It looks OK and seems to work the same. That said I don't use it much and would never have an iPhone for personal use. I hate them 😆 But personal choice I guess.

I've never had that happen, but that's probably down to luck with surfaces rather than any skill on my part. I've heard of people using a piece of rope or carpet looped round the bottom rung and driving onto that first to stop it sliding. Never had to do it myself though.

I am pretty sure I've seen these that hook over or clip on to the front of the usual metal ramps, in effect giving a much lower and gentler slope onto the ramp. This means once the car's front tyres are on them the metal ramps shouldn't get pushed away as you try and drive onto them.

Might want to fix the title sir 👍

Yep use them all the time; but also found them nearly impossible to drive onto without at least pushing them out of place, and sometimes one would slide further than the other! So I've long since given up driving on and now just lift the car on to them with a trolley jack. As for safety, I've seen axle stands start to topple too, if too much lifting (bad) or sideways forces are applied to the car. (Though I'll always try and make sure high torque items where possible are at least cracked loose while the cars tyres are on the ground, even if some load is being taken on a jack. If I've got both ends of the car raised and one or More wheels off, I'll also put the removed wheel(s) under, or part under the car near where I'm working as a backup; in the insanely unlikely event of it falling off the stands, even if I'm pinned, it will be the wheels taking the bulk of the cars weight, not me!

Have a pair of these and find they give you the hight to get a trolly jack underneath and then use axle stands.

I've honestly never had a problem just driving up onto my ramps and getting on with stuff.

Ditto- I'd be happier if the sleepers were a tad wider 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the thoughts all. I've a low profile jack already and some totally adequate stands. Maybe I should just play with the rear placement a bit.

I use them, but don’t drive onto them . I prefer to jack up and put them under the raised wheels.

I put cable ties under the aluminium tank straps. Then fasten the hose to the cable ties with other cables ties.

Have a great day and I hope no one stuffs an onion up your exhaust, today! @Trevor Little (Trevturtle)

It has just been beaten! 😂

Hope this solves your issues 🤞

I remember years ago, the first year that Toblerone did the really massive bars for Christmas (about a yard long and 10lb in weight) I bought one for the wife. I wrapped it up and put it under the tree, a parcel really obviously Toblerone shaped. She went around for weeks saying to people "I don't know what David's bought me. It's like a Toblerone but really big." People would say, "maybe it's a Toblerone" but she'd answer, "no it's like a Toblerone but really really really big." It was hilarious.

Xmas pressie from the wife! Kinda spoiled the surprise 🤣

Ive only just seen this Love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
