Recent snap of your Westfield

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Not mine again, but great to see Westfield Chesil at the Classic Car show today👍

 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Just checking that the Peak District is still beautiful as Glen tries out his new Keis Heated Jacket, which was a success btw.

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  Glen’s government winter heating allowance is for Gas & Electric not a new jacket 🤣 take care and stay warm 😳 luv us

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Just curious, re the Keis Heated Jackets, going off their web site, they seem intended to be worn under the normal semi armoured built like a Haz Mat suit outer bike jackets! How are they as an outer layer? Windproof? Showerproof? etc. Or do you still need to keep an outer layer over them?

You can wear it either way as you wish, Glen wore it as an outer layer because it is not that cold yet. He intends to wear his WSCC jacket over the top as the norm, that will help keep it clean too, although it is washable.

 

It feels windproof but it was dry yesterday so it has not been tested against any rain, it is not marketed as waterproof in any way. It is very toasty.

 

@ianali the body building is tomorrow😁

Not a particularly recent snap, but the last time this one went out properly. (and yes, it does have a front splitter. I believe there was an incident with a kerb....)

[Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset]

Two either brave or foolhardy Westies out playing last night in the dark and rain at our meet in Cullompton. I came over the (pitch) Blackdown Hills with some fog in places which was fun, particularly with the two candles which I call headlights 🤪.

 

Grateful thanks to @colin homewood for his Roadside Assist service which got me going when my car wouldn’t start. I did feel guilty letting him push! Should have been the other way around, but many thanks Sir 🫡.

 

I just popped the rather muddy car in the garage last night, but he had a good wash down at lunchtime.
 

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating that I’m really pleased with my side screens, half doors and half hood. There is little buffeting even at motorway speeds, and no water comes up between doors and bodywork so I stayed nicely warm and dry even without a heater, and because the car is open still, there’s no steaming up. What’s not to like?

I love the look of the car @Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO- Devon & Somerset

 

What seats are those? Have been looking about and need some recommendations. At 100kg, I’m built on the “more athletic” side 😉, so comfort around the backside / hips will be key. Need to sit in a few before I make a decision…

I’m comfortably bigger than 100kg and fit my standard Westfield sports seats just fine. So try those as a starter.

A stunning bit of sunshine in the Peak District today as we went to the H and H car auction in Buxton

Alongside the Quarterly club magazine’s. The Westfield Sports Car Club produces an annual Calendar!

For those of us who are lucky enough to be featured, it’s quite an honour.  As for the front cover!  Well that’s a week off work. 

Grab yourself a cuppa & a cheeky slice of cake and enjoy the efforts of those who submitted this year.

Well done 👍🏼 

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

Great idea, and very well done. Perhaps I won’t create an album for the pictures to be uploaded to, as I’ve done in previous years. (Do I hear a big sigh of relief from the Webmaster and treasurer) 😃
