Brack Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi All, I thought I'd introduce myself as I have just become a member of the WSCC, despite having been around Westfields for over 20 years (heaven knows why it's taken me so long!?!). My name is Lee, I'm based in Merseyside and have popped in and out of the forums for a good while now but have only posted for the first time today... Me and my dad have had several Westfields over the years - the obsession (because it is an obsession 🤪) started just before my 17th birthday with a copy of Ron Champion's famous book. We were poised to start a Locost build and had even started collecting parts, before a Westfield advert in CCC lead to us travelling down to Kingswinsford for the first time and having a blast out in the then new Speedsport demonstrator (it was bright Orange and I remember being excited to see it in all the motoring press afterwards). Fast forward to 12 months later, we'd moved to a house with a garage for the first time and, just after moving, got invited by Westfield to go and test some new cars that they were developing down at Curborough... it turned out that the first of the bike engined cars were circulating (the Megablade and Megabusa), I fell in love and haven't looked back since... We've since built two Fireblade engined cars (one of which we kept for 11 years) and a Blackbird engined one, all of which got moved on as my kids came along and time and money got tight. However, just before lockdown I came across the old Megabusa demonstrator from 2000/2001 for sale in Cornwall and I couldn't resist, so I'm back in the Westfield fold. I love my trackdays but do a lot more driving on road than on track, and can be found zipping about North Wales and Cheshire on most sunny Sundays. Hopefully being part of the WSCC will mean that I can get out and about a bit more in my car with some like-minded people, and it'll give my other half's ears a rest from the incessant Westfield chat 😄 Lee. 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrat Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Welcome to the fold. I had a go at driving the original Megabusa demonstrator at the factory but couldn't get to grips with it which was a shame as I really loved the idea of it in all other respects. I just couldn't rev it and slip the clutch enough, so I bought a V8 😄 You are probably just about close enough to join some of the Peak District runs Lots of cake. Maybe see you around. Luke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si.Dalziel Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 @Brack we will have to organise some runs. I do attend the peaks every now and then. Mostly I go smashing round north wales though if you fancy it sometime. Also if you are planning on going to stoneleigh feel free to join the convoy.

Brack Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 @Si.Dalziel Yes mate, sorting some runs out will be good. 👍 I can't get to Stoneleigh this year as I'm busy next weekend, but I think I might blast down to Knutsford services before you all set off, say hello and get some photos of the group of cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
