She was a character, well known countrywide and did quite well 'when she wanted to' as sometimes played to the crowd for laughs. Competed alongside Mary Ray, Peter Lewis, John Gilbert and others in the early 80's. Had one of my agility photos published in the 1987 Crufts Souvenir Guide. Quote

Spare her as long as you can... the brand is no longer there, and despite people didn't appreciate them due their flexibility and lack of personality... ( Why to have a guitar that will allow you in stage to play from Death metal to jazz and some interesting acoustic sounds when you can have an Ibanez SV, A les Paul and a Telecaster and carry them around for the crowd don't even realize you've changed the instrument) They will end being VERY sought after instruments. I wish I had been smart enough to buy one in the early 2000 when second hand ones were sub 800 quid. Fancy a swap for a Hand build Tom anderson (from the Pre factory era) that needs some love? 😛 1 Quote
Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Keen photographer (not as keen as I used to be mind you).. Always got a project in the garage - last few was sympathetically restoring a railway lamp - also restored a vintage time recorder (clocking in machine) for my brother for his 50th in November just gone. Currently renovating a clown bike which i picked up off Ebay (beers were involved) and also a 50's/60's petrol pump which is taking my spare time at the moment. Plus the Porsche 718 Spyder (not touched for many years but hope to get done one day - retirement project maybe) TVR T350c which is still being used (much more than the Westfield) 3 Quote
Kingster Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 crashing things... Me on skis, mountain bikes, motor bikes, microlights, jet-skis - you name it, and if it moves with a human on board (or it's a computer), I've crashed it. 1 6 Quote

And very good one too! I do look forward to your photoposts, and had noticed a decline in number! I dabble a little with a camera. Quote
Andrew O Byrne White - Ireland AO Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Three pictures that sum up my passions: The westie being an obvious one - nearly 9k miles through 23 countries done since I got it on the road in September. Next up music - specifically bass guitar. These two are my favourites - a '79 Musicman Stingray, and a handmade Alpher Mako Prime (absolutely amazing bass made by a couple of great guys in Yorkshire!). Finally, surfing. Took it up about 5 years ago and fell in love! Now trying to learn how to shape and make my own boards, but I've got a long way to go for that! Quote
Nick Mace Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 For me it’s competitive target rifle shooting (think of it like long range hole punching), which I still manage to do to a decent standard (eg County and International). I also still consider myself a surfer. I grew up in Guernsey and was nuts about surfing as a teenager - I’d go out in all conditions all year round. I still love it but rarely get to do it nowadays. More recently I’ve been getting into woodworking. I’ve collected a few machines but want to do some proper hand tool work. I’m currently finishing off a workbench... 2 Quote

Paul T Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I have lots (much to my wife's amusement/concern) 😄 Snowboarding Mountaineering (Video) Coach a local kids rugby team (ex player with knees to show for it) Shooting (clays with 12 bore mostly) Photography (FlickR Profile) Wild camping/bushcraft I also enjoy editing videos (YouTube channel) DIY, making things/tinkering! I would love to something which get's me in the air, I nearly joined a gliding club last year after a trial launch but couldn't afford the time with kids, a wife and a Westy! 😄 Quote

Different schools of thought on that. My feeling is that I’m more likely to catch a knuckle on a plane blade, or damage it with something, if it’s on its side. Putting it on a wooden surface won’t do it any harm. Apologies for making you feel nauseous though! 1 1 Quote

So took up Microlights and really liked that for the first few years - until I crashed anyway 🤣 1 Quote
