Thrustyjust Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thread about the highlights of you and your car and the bits you wish to forget: Highlights: My cars first year of running well and no breakdowns or mechanicals. Lowlights : The vomit incident . Waking up small villages at night, as not able to see what switch is main beam and which is the horn.

TAFKARM Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Highlight: Cam upgrade Lowlight: On the way back from cadwell, in the freezing cold and rain, the toll booth man wouldn't let me off the 40p so I had to spend ten mins holding up traffic while I went through all my track day paraphinalia to find my wallet. If you've been on track day with me, you'll realise this is an unfeasible amount of stuff to fit in a westie. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Highlight - setting the class record and being the fastest Westfield and in the top 20 overall at Rockingham, then finishing 11th overall and second in class only to the lightening quick @tkm_dave at MIRA. Always happy to finish second to that legend. Lowlight - what I thought would be a bombproof gearbox letting go at a trackday just after MIRA and ending my season early, falling out of love with it all and leading to my decision to move on. Which may lead to new highlights in another direction in 2018...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 May I be permitted another highlight? If so, making new and hopefully lifelong friends through this club and the speed series - you know who you are! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Westie Highlights: Weekend tour up through NW to Moffat and back. Progress to being as fast on road tyres as when on soft sprint competition ones. Westie Lowlights: No Lowlights as such, BUT not nearly enough Westying over last part of year.

BugMan Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Highlight - Improving my health by getting off my backside playing computer games, investing time in getting involved with the WSCC and my local group, buying my kit and starting to use my brain and hands again in something other than work.
