Stalking you, Rich!

Been on here far more recently as I have various plans for the Westy as part of a winter overhaul.

I'm trying to keep Saturday free, but I'm going to be given something to do soon if it gets much closer, if you know what I mean.

Hi all, apologies for delay in getting a venue.

Here goes, Saturday 10th November, 1300 hrs onward at the Riverside Inn, The Shallows, Saltford, Bristol BS31 3EZ.

Understanding that the weather is not forecast to be great, TinTops are more than welcome as this is the starter for ten!

Please feel free to pass onto others that I may not have included?

Looking forward to putting some faces to names and starting to plan some road trips and get a regular meet day/time sorted.

Regards

Chris

Well it happened! The rebooted Bristol and Bath area meet started again yesterday with a fine gathering (Thanks Rob and Steve) at The Riverside Inn, Saltford. 

Introductions and car histories were discussed as well as plans for the winter upgrades. 

Still working regular meet day/night and Xmas drinks. 

Any plans for shows and track days welcome too? 

More to follow

regards

Great to meet you guys on Saturday and looking forward to our next meeting. 

Well done to Chris for braving the weather and bringing his Westfield, and a very nice car it was too.

Thanks for the expert tire kicking and throttle blipping from you and Steve. I have added to my list of thinks to ‘understand and adjust’ before I tackle the ‘hmmmmm what if I changed this or that...’

Once again I am reminded of the benefits of building your own car or stripping and rebuilding as I am still finding bits that I don’t know what they are/do - expect more questions/pictures...

Hi Chris, nice car.  One of the mystery bits was the shiny but complex looking item in the fuel line - I think the solution to the 'mystery' is that it is a pressure regulator which is also connected to vacuum in order to maintain a pressure differential relative to manifold rather than atmosphere.

[CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO]

Ah good point Steve,

I was looking at maybe getting a swirl pot but this may suffice.

Cheers
