Still missing out... ☹️

 

Bodywork still not back from the bodyshop. Itching to get it all back together and actually drive the thing instead of tinkering with it

Have fun!

Damn, not a runout issue I hope?

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

I won't make this one, sorry. Someone else can have a go as tail runner 😁. Have fun all and I'll see you soon 👍

[Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO]

@Julie Hall - Peak District AO

Margaret and I with A N Other will meet you for Breakfast at the Bird. 🍽️ 

If anyone from Manchester Area wants to join us, we will leave Oldham at 9am, passing through Glossop and onto the Snake pass, then through Bamford to Hathersage.

When the main group head south we will head back north, either through Winnats pass or Strines and Woodhead pass back home in time for the F1. 

[Glynn Walters]

Hi, I’m hoping to make tomorrow if the weather holds out👍

[Stuart]

Worcester to Bamford is 125 miles and I'm exhausted after 3 long days and 725 van miles helping my youngest lad move house. Enjoy your day! 

[Labrat]

Great run out if a little damp to start with. Nice to get a bit of sunshine at the Roaches as it was pretty grim on the run back to Chesterfield.Thanks Julie for arranging another great day out.

Good to see you today, and the car sounds as glorious as ever! 👍

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Another great day, if a little busy on some of the roads!

 

Realised leaving the Roaches, it’d had been so warm there, with the sun out, I’d never put my coat back on! Was convinced I’d get cold and wet on the way home, but no, a bit overcast, but a nice ride back, still quite busy everywhere though! Think people were trying to make up for all those lockdown cancelled trips, today!

 

Great to see new faces, today, too. 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

14 cars and 21 people met at Bird Cafe, Hathersage for breakfast

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it gets difficult to photograph all the cars and all the people with there being so many of us. We had a great run UP the Mam Nick road for a change. The Mk1 Escorts were going down it today, waving at us.

Cloudy at the top of Mam Nick

 

 

Off through Tideswell to see a steam engine on it's travels

 

 

Followed a Lamborghini - Clarkson typeTractor, well it did well going up to 40mph and getting round the corners, didn't think it was interesting enough to photograph though.

We headed South as promised and finished at the Roaches Tea Rooms. An excellent place with far reaching views over Tittersworth Reservoir, great homemade cakes and no pressure to leave. Good job as we stayed rather a long time, one bonnet off, then another, it was a great venue.

 

Cars parked anywhere we can here

 

The red devils at the back of the pack parked in the overflow car park

 

 

Inevitably the cake eating began, in the absence of @Andy Westwood, it was @aeg who got the 'boyish good looks' sized cake

 

 

You can learn so much more at these meets than on the forum, actually stood over a Westfield while discussing matters with very knowledgable people.

 

You can see a completed supercharged Honda engine, the supercharger buried deep in the engine bay, under the alternator....no, I struggled to see it too, but this lump puts out >400 bhp! Now we all feel a little inferior don't we, me? only 141 bhp! and I am leading!

Thanks to new boy @Glynn Andrews for bringing it to show us.

 

 

More good advice being exchanged between Luke and Hedley if your Toybox car is too low, as they all seem to be. Pray for it to be raised.

 

 

And more 'Bonnet's Off'

 

 

Soon the group started to disperse, Bill and Bill Senior leaving

 

 

And Luke leaving

 

 

The sun had made an appearence 

 

 

 

We had all the usual Westfield shenanigans between us, naming no names, somebody didn't pay, somebody left a phone, somebody burnt their leg on the exhaust but there was no takers for my magnet....this time!

 

It's been an absolute ball yet again, it's been great to see you all and we look forward to next time very much XXXXX

[aeg]

I knew it was further North than I anticipated when I saw this

on the drive up I also picked up some northern stuff !!

Cow S**t happens 🙄

[Richard (OldStager)]

looked a cracking day, well done all and if aeg's last photo is anything to go by, you did drive a long way - looks like you made down under, lol.

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Thanks @Julie Hall - Peak District AO for another fantastic day! It was great to see you all today 👍

 

I might have to start saving my pennies for some form of forced induction, I'm feeling all inadequate and having supercharger envy! 😂

 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Becky has sent her photo's to me, well, she has in fact incriminated me. I was going to tell you all that we had lettuce for lunch but now we will have to admit otherwise

 

 

Compo and Clegg

 

 

Another bonnet off

 

 

Thank you Becky for those xxxxxxx
