Recent snap of your Westfield

[Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset]

It’s a bit muddy out there. The wheel arch was absolutely covered until I drove through a bit of a flood and that washed most of it off! Still, will be washing the car in a bit…

Todays - after wash picture

 

 

Later changed headlights bulbs from Philips +130% etc  to Aliexpress LEDs , 

 

 

Was during a beer so test drive tommorow evening, but looking good so far, seems a good improvement.

 

(thanks for advice @Flying Carrot Steve !  (in fact His advice was original Auxito bulbs, but I'v  tried the Alixepress version - will see. External quality looks really good , as is the fitting) From parking perspective I really can see improvement, might be partly due to more blueish colour, but in long distance swithch now I see the bulbs are working, that was not alway the case with halogen H4)   )

First drive after fitting the side screens and they really make quite a difference in the cold weather, I was noticeably warmer inside. Had a 3 figure blast on the motorway too and they performed well, just a shame they've arrived just before Sorn.

The car looks very smart with the stripes. Premade ones or cut from vinyl? Link if possible please?

I must admit I don't sorn mine, if rather be able to go for a run on an occasional bright day.

Thanks and no it was just cheap vinyl from Ebay in case I messed it up.

How is Your experience with doors (exept it is in fact warmer ,well not so cold better to say  inside? ) We have noticed that with doors there is tendency to accumulate smell/fumes from exhaust in cockpit (without roof) , strange aerodynamics but experienced few times .

I didn't do that many miles, but it was quite varied driving and I really like them. Significantly less turbulence especially on the motorway where normally I'd cruise at 65-70 mph, I tried much faster and was more comfortable. Often my arms and tops of legs get cold, but again I was quite cosy inside and no noticeable fumes.

So it's a thumbs up and glad I have a few options now depending on the weather 👍

Probably my last run of the year in the Westy. Took it up Zig-Zag hill near Shaftesbury (a Dorset version of an alpine pass!), then to Guy Ritchie’s airfield for a nice slice of cake.

Home, washed, and put into hibernation.

Been tinkering with car today. Had a little dash for a picture

[Glen_I]

I've been a tad quiet on the WWSC this year, and I'm putting it down to not having the best weather this summer.

 

However one last blast tonight as it will be sorn'd from tonight and then getting tucked away for the winter for some tinkering....

 

 

 

She went well tonight😉

Decided to roll the tax on for another month and needed a break from the kids half term, so quick blast out 

[DamperMan]

Snapped in steel!

Daughter was flicking through my pics last night. She asked me if all Westies get their own colour coded bins?
