Managed to driver both this afternoon :)- Westfield hour trip around nearby hills, MNR 15 min :( as it is not road legal and screaming!! ..ouch..  really loud on revs :) . In the end eletric reverse on MNR failed (even when IT was working , caused so much electric power drops, so voltage drops to 5#6 V and ecu and engine stops) , I was never convicted to this design (starter motor + gear wheel on propshaft). Tempted to get rid of reverse (bike engine CBR1000rr) . 

But maybe Is there any proper and realiable reverse solution for BEC cars??? Or just - get out of car and push?

At the risk of getting hanged, drawn and quartered, I have to say I really like the look of an MNR. Stands out from the Sevens crowd nicely

Not so much a snap of my Westfield, more a snap of the bl**** traffic my Westfield was stuck in trying to get to Malvern today. 

 

That being said my thoughts go out to the families of those who lost their lives in that horrific crash on the M5 last night. Dreadful.

Good morning from Malvern. Lovely weather. Get that garage door open and get on down here. Free entry and great laughs to be had.

Looking fantastic, did you sneak a bottle of detailing spray in, when no one was watching. 😁

A rather damp night in the lakes with 5 westy's and several other marques with roofs 😭

Hardnott pass was a rather grounding experience for the hoop and box 😮

Not my Westfield but @BobMet and @Morris at Brooklands this morning for the London to Brighton kit car run. It was great to see @Morris’s XI on the road. IMG_6493.thumb.jpeg.103d170637d1a17ef2dde083a023c187.jpegIMG_6499.thumb.jpeg.93903126be54198ec7df09c735481765.jpegIMG_6488.thumb.jpeg.e2940292bdf04e5817bb9bc9a9abca67.jpeg

 

It was great to meet you @SteveB21, and thank you @BobMet for letting us follow you 🙂.

 

We clocked up 255 miles today, with the XI behaving very well 😎.
