Busy day here as well! Car back from Siltech Saturday afternoon, and @Howard put the engine back in today, with some help from @*Emma*. A few tweaks to be made, but should be up and running before the next event (If we make it off the reserve list…)!

That's brilliant news, well done 👏

Dropped in to see my folks this afternoon. Accidentally stumbled across a mini meet in King's Lynn on the way through!

Some absolute beauties on show in the glorious sunshine!

Including this little gem at £9500! 👇

I absolutely love those old original Minis. I learned to drive in one. I'm gonna buy one some day I'm sure.

I've had 2 cars and a van throughout my driving history! I wish I'd kept them...

Yep I know the feeling. Wish I'd kept all my old Ford's. Several Mk1 Escorts, Mk2, Mk3, Mk4 Cortinas, Corsair 1700 V4, Mk1 Capri, Granada. Probably be minted now 😂

Not a Westfield but a fantastic bit of kit. I hitched a ride in my friends Fiesta ST240 tonight at Donnington Park, I think my insides are still somewhere near Redgate Corner!

That looks rapid! @HB46443 had a passenger ride in a Ginetta G55 race car at Donington last week and looked quite pale when he got out too 😂

I’m not gonna lie, I felt a little queasy afterwards too! The braking power into Redgate & Roberts was ridiculous!

Is that thing road legal or an out and out race car?

I would think it should be doing the National circuit in the low 1m 20's looking at the laptimes the ST240 does elsewhere. That will definitely feel quite rapid especially as a passenger!

We were there last week pretending to be racing drivers ourselves 😂

The fastest guys seemed to be doing the Donington GP circuit in under 1:47 if that's any help?

Lapping 1:23 with me onboard. Low 1:20’s on his own but the car is down on power. His team are trying to sort it, he’s back tomorrow night for further testing

Making the most of the lovely weather I took the Westfield to the vets in Matlock to pick up Broadline for our cat. Any excuse for a birthday blat.
