Recent snap of your Westfield

Great run to Stanope, Alston and a quick photo at Langley castle on our way to super car sunday at The Crown and bumped into a westy owner I hadn't seen since I owned previous car

At the very top of Stevlio (June 2023 -about 8:30AM) and the run up was as traffic free as the pic implies!

Yes @Alex Gaskin, I live pretty local to Swithland so it’s only a stones throw from me or if you take the long way round it’s a good 1/2 hour or so and a fantastic drive 😉

 

I've been over that many times myself, makes a great photo 👍

Popped up to AV8 at Kemble/Cotswold Airport today just for a Cappuccino 😂 Nice fast blat. Tally - 17 fast overtakes (a new record for me on that route), a sunglasses left lens big bug impact, 3 strange noises and one worrying smell but all totally OK when inspected upon return. I hate those weird noises and smells you occasionally get in an open top car. Thankfully they usually turn out to be completely external and nothing to do with the car being about to explode 😂

Being very much still a newbie to a Westfield (albeit moving up from a MGB GT) the amount of smells and noises the Westie provides is something else:

- the pinging of stone chips in the wheels

- the unburnt fuel from the carbs

- the occasional whiff of brake smell

Etc. 

I think the MGB served up more oily notes, but that's probably because they seem to be designed to leak.

Either way, I love that additional layer of interaction to motoring - makes even a mundane journey an event.

Sneaked a little drive out this lunchtime to drop a cover off with @SteveB21 at Haynes Museum.

 

Nice to meet you sir.

 

Lovely day for it too 👍.

I did a couple of laps of the Nurburgring last month 😎

Lovely afternoon for a drive out, I love 'working from home' on Fridays!

I got out again today, 2 days in a row now, very pleased. I only popped up to Castle Combe circuit which isn't too far from home. There was a 6th Gear driving day going on, some very nice, very expensive exotica been driven on track.

 

I forgot to take a picture of my car in the paddock but took this as proof......

 

Why is it proof? Well look very, very closely and tell me what you see! 😂

Few photos of our drive around the Peaks yesterday. Views above Hope valley on the way down to Castleton. 130miles of mostly traffic free driving 😎

That looks like a very comfy Westfield to tour in. Completely unlike mine. Maybe I need two? 😂

Well that oil signs on asphalt could be any kitcar or... Alfa Romeo ; ) so, no proof  here ; )

Must disagree about the Alfa Romeo, no drips on my garage floor, a crossflow though. Now that's a different story.
