Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Julie’s Battle of the Odo’s competition is back for another year, and if you need an excuse to drive your Westfield, here is one - not that you should need an excuse, of course. The MOT certificate records an odometer reading. This competition is looking for the member who has the biggest mileage difference between their Westfield’s 2021 and 2022 MOT certificate odometer readings. In my opinion getting the ‘Westfield’ miles in makes you a winner anyway. The prize for first place is £50 worth of vouchers to spend at the Westfield Factory Parts Department and for this year only they will also receive the Chris Smith award. Second and third place will get you £10 and £5, respectively, off your membership renewal in WSCC for next year. What are you waiting for? Get driving! THE BORING BITS • The mileage must be in a Westfield. • The competition is open to WSCC members only, not the Committee or Area Organisers. • The closing date is midnight 8th November 2022. • Email your mileage to peak@wscc.co.uk with a copy of your MOT certificate attached. • The judge’s decision is final. • You must agree to your entry being published in Westfield World magazine and online in the WSCC forum. • Prizes must be redeemed within 12 months, are non-transferable and no substitute prize or cash equivalent will be offered. • If you have won first place in this competition before you cannot enter it again. • The winner this year will receive the Chris Smith Award. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Yesterday was MOT day for me and here are my figures Annual mileage 4230 miles Total mileage 63116 miles If you find this interesting please have a think about entering this competition, it's a bit of light hearted entertainment with a potential prize for you at the end. It is open to members only, so as an AO or a committee member you cannot enter, that's me out then but you can😀so please do. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Wow, and I thought I did some big mileage! That's some serious commitment to the Westfield cause, bravo 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMet Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It'll be 3 years before my first MOT is due @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative . Any thoughts about an alternative "proof" of mileage for these circumstances? In my case I started the year (2nd March) at first registration with zero miles on the clock, but for the end of the year all I can think of at the moment is to take a photo of the mileage on the speedo.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hmm, I reckon I'm up to about 28000 miles across two Westfields since the Honda was registered in 2015. Given the lockdowns in the middle, not too bad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 @BobMet you are not the first to ask that question and I have yet to come up with a fair way of judging the mileage of new builds, so for now I am very sorry to say that you have to wait until year 4 before you can enter the competition. I did feel for @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO when he asked me the same a few years ago and then just as it was time for his first MOT he became an AO and couldn't enter. Don't be scared in November (when the competition closes) to let us know your mileage, it will be interesting and you never know! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Might increase the mileage limit on my policy. 😊 Mot on 08.05.2022. 218 miles since the last mot in 2018. On second thoughts 3,000 might be enough. 🤔 Is there an award for the least miles? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafod Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I did just over 7000 miles last year to Nov but as the car was newly registered so not Mot. Went outmost sunny evenings in the Summer around Snowdonia on a 60 mile loop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I wonder what the highest mileage Westy is at? I know @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative is well above mine currently at 30k 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labrat Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I just ran the figures and if I matched 4230 miles per year it would cost me around £2280 a year in super unleaded at current prices, and that is based on my average MPG of 16! I think I might be a challenger for the least miles covered at the moment, although I did just do a 28 mile blast round the Matlock, Chatsworth, Curbar route that I like to do of an evening and used half a tank (spirited driving so somewhere around 8MPG). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
