Flying Carrot Steve Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 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 😂 6 Quote

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. 4 Quote

Flying Carrot Steve Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 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! 😂 1 2 Quote
Popular Post Andy Westwood Posted August 12, 2023 Popular Post Posted August 12, 2023 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 😎 12 Quote
