Recent snap of your Westfield

[John Ryan]

Just been out for my first drive, a 10 miles shakedown. 

 

Running quite well, although the no fuel level showing. A positive start!

On the way to Haynes Motor Museum last weekend.

 

When you go into the museum, do they give you highly detailed directions and then at the end, tell you that exiting is the reverse of going in?

A few from today's run with some MK's, around Windermere.  A wee 350 miler, think we can say the new tyres are scrubbed in now.

I'd be really interested to know if they could be persuaded to join the club?

Tbh, I was half expecting this question.

Apart from my mate, with the grey one 🤣, it was my first time meeting the 3 other MK owners, so thought better of bringing up the subject at this time. The 3 other owners were from different areas of England, so the Lake District was pretty much the mid point for us all, plus we both enjoy a long run anyway. 

 

It was quite interesting though that although the 2 other cars were completed last year, neither of them had been on runs longer than 100miles and I got the feeling that they were solo runs too. It goes without saying that they really enjoyed the run and I've since been added to their WhatsApp chat, which I think is there only real contact with other owners of like cars.

 

I'm not sure how often, these meets will take place and tbh, I'm on the road a lot anyway, so it doesn't matter so much to me. Though it occur to me that they might be missing out on group runs with like cars in their respective areas and that might be where they may potentially be interested in WSCC. 

 

 

Sorry for the long winded reply, but you did ask 😆

MKs sound like great cars, but that photo really does show how much nicer the Westfield styling from the front looks (better than Caterham, MK, GBS in my completely(ish) unbiased opinion)

Yeah, I don't want to be rude but they do have a bit of a 'startled guppy' look to them.

Yeah with those halo headlights they do look a bit like someone just started a prostate check on their rear ends 😂

[Flying Carrot Steve]

Definitely! 

 

 

I'd definitely still have one, I like them. 

 

The MKs not a prostate check! 😳

On the way to the show, not much of a detour so couldn't resist

Ouch ! I love Westfield but more than 1-1,5 hour in , starting to fell more and more away from "driving pleasure"  

one day 350 miles, thats over 500km !

Easy, for me that's what it's all about. 😁

[kenton]

Its all about the driving for me too.

My "record" in one day in the Westy was the final day of a European road trip. A grand total of 1171 km.
