Chris Elworthy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Dear Mr. Cloud, or can I call you moonie. It sounds like you've passed your SVD test.....Single Vehicle Disapproval. Seriously, Neil is right, it is a members area for members cars, your difficulty will be the gatepersons. Good luck and I hope you get in and enjoy the weekend.

neilwillis Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Just back from the event. Thanks to everyone who helped out. I think we can safely say it was a success, and apart from the weather (too hot for a change! a fun time was had by all. Simon's DJ-ing, and Michelle's Disco Diva act and Charlie's voice over went down very well with those brave enough to attend yet anohter show rave, but Charlie - can you get some better jokes for the next session? Buzz's taxi service on the track day added another element - mainly of blind terror - for everyone that was mad enough to get into the V8 with him. I even got black flagged - and as a result an extra session free - it seems my engine is a tad loud when I floor it Thanks also to every one that came along - we counted over 200 cars on the Saturday, and probably more on the Sunday though it was far too hot to count them all. For the benefit of everyone who camped over, We will be making sure we are given better facilities next year - I think we should at least have shower facilities, and hot water too. Finally, thanks to Rob Satherley and Garry Bunn for their organisation of the WSCC area. Rob's diplomacy was needed at times, but we can safely say it was an excellent weekend.

Barry Ashcroft Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Cracking good weekend. Spot on saturday night I cant wait to see the pictures. See you all soon Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cast iron Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 A good time was had by all I believe, Was it as good as Harrogate - Not sure Cracking job by everyone involved on the Westy side, as for the show people, (refraining from using the word organisers-trade descriptions act and all that) the facilities were shocking / non existent. The track day organisation was abismal. Straight out of pits after a 20 min track session into a queue of people buying ice cream! Anyone could go out in any session then they would black flag you if they thought you were in the wrong group! But again top marks to the two and four legged Westy Crewe for hospitality and entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballistichamster Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Thanks to the club members who welcomed me earlyish on the Saturday morning - apologies can't remember names, but bloke with the ivory swept wing westie, thanks for making introductions, it just went to prove what a friendly club this is. Unfortunately couldn't stay that long, but certainly hope to see many of you again and hope to make the whole weekend next year now I now what fun it is!

Paul M Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Have to agree, wonderful weekend. Thanks to Simon, Michelle, Charley & karen for your hospitality and facilities. Just to clear on thing up before the rumours start: I know nothing about the Caterham R400 that ended up in the Robin Hood owners club area. (and neither do Buzz or Charley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie - Yorksboys. Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Great weekend I think, - bits if it are very, very hazy!!!! I can safely say that Pete's V8 was truly awesome around the track, - yes I was one of the lunatics that went out as a passenger. I doudt anyone present from Robin Hood, (boys in tights), Ferrari replica club, (MR2 with perspex), or Caterham, (anyone seen our R300?) will ever speak to a Westfield owner again!!!!! (shame). Hope the item of female underwear that is now club property is in safe hands!, - You had to be there!!! I believe the owner wishes to remain anonymous!!! Thanks to everyone who was there. For the first time this summer I actually got the car home without being rained on!! Not looking forward to the pictures to much. Charlie.

SteveF Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Yeah - was a bit worried by the track day organisation - as they didn't appear to be doing any breifings - I turned up for my session and was just told to report for a noise test - now that was a farce - they said they clocked me at 101 dB (@ 3/4 revs) which is far louder than I've ever had before - but after telling me that I'd failed - they then let me on - this bit probably will upset the guys in the purple & orange xtr2 - who also failed - and weren't allowed on - but that may have had something to do with trying to convince the marshalls that red line on a 'busa is 8k (not) Oh- and thanks to Steve for the loan of his helmet - when we finally got into a session we got about 30-40 mins & 17 laps Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Yeah - was a bit worried by the track day organisation Neil, Gary and meself will be letting the organisers our collective concerns about track and other areas. Seems they have a long way to go. It was a great weekend. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hi all, I travelled down both days in the westie - now wish I had camped, sounds as if a good time was had by all. I was going to book a session on the track but it looked as if red flags were the order of the day. A great venue for the show (or should I say 2 shows). Whats with the fencing that now separates the open area. Great parking for westies and Cobras but I do feel a litte sorry for the others that many people missed. Thanks to all the WSSC people who organised the parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROC Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 After visiting yesterday, I would be most interested in hearing the full story about how the knickers ended up on top of the flag Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hope the item of female underwear that is now club property is in safe hands!, - You had to be there!!! I believe the owner wishes to remain anonymous!!! They were yours all along then Charlie? I'd never have thought you were a size 10 I can reliably inform everyone that they have been laundered by Kerstin, and will be making an appearance at an upcoming event.
