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 👏 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

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 😂 1 Quote
Naranja_Al Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 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! 2 1 Quote

That will definitely feel quite rapid especially as a passenger! We were there last week pretending to be racing drivers ourselves 😂 1 1 Quote

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 1 Quote
Labrat Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 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. 6 Quote
