Will have a slice of the good stuff in your absence @aeg and will say hi to Luke for you. Have a nice Saturday and don't forget to take the paracetamol before you go to bed🍻

I'm looking forward to it too (but Westy not quite ready yet). Also, I no longer need to drop off the starter motor for @daveclow as it has been couriered, so @AndrewBClarke you'll no longer have a weight penalty on the way home 😀.

Sorry folks, for some rather obvious reasons, my weekend free-time has just evaporated and I will be a no show.

understandable Dave but still disappointing as I had a few things to chat about with you, if you need anything just shout up, we can make it happen

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

No worries, might be easier to catch up by phone!

Have a great run today folks and please make it a special day for the birthday girl. Sadly I can't make it as I need to move my trainers 13.1 miles round the potteries today. I'm praying for rain, so I'm sorry if you all get wet too 😉

Running late small fuel leak to contend with. 
hopefully I catch you before you leave MacDonald’s. 😁

Julie says no problem. See you at McD

Another part run from me (I'll be getting a reputation soon) but great to see everyone at McDonalds in Matlock, and A good, if brief, run for me in order to get back for the Holymoorside Jubilee Party in the park. Very successful day all in all. A few pics from McD's. Sorry to have missed the (birthday) cake!

The party in the park was worth going to though and there were some nice cars there to look at too.

Sat watching Wheeler Dealers and Ant Anstead said 'this car has had more issues than Beano' made me chuckle and unfortunately I was just thinking about poor Glynn who had missed our last run due to clutch 'issues' and so Beano was born, my new name for Glynn's car. The Naming Ceremony commenced, although @HB46443's car is probably more worthy of the name at the mo, it all makes the world go round.

 

 

Presenting Glynn and BEANO with their comic

 

 

Meeting at McD's in the hot sun, phew.

 

There is always one @Lee Bennett 

 

Luke and Deanne made it after a loose fuel pipe on the filter, making a 9 car meet.

 

After a brew we went through Chatsworth, up near Abney Gliding Club, through pretty Castleton, to let all the traffic come down over the cattle grid, that was kind of me wasn't it😉. Now we had a clear run up Winnat's Pass, yes, and a clear run down Mam Nick to land at The Rambler Inn, Edale. Where else do you go on your birthday but to the best of the best. Best roads, best pub.

Expecting to sit outside, Edale is 600ft up and it was now cold and windy, so after parking up

 

 

we scurried inside

 

 

for a small beef dinner, with a proper Yorkshire pudding. Glen celebrated my birthday for me by having a pint of Dortmunder Vier, mmm.

 

 

Our return journey took us over Surprise View and on to lower ground for the cakey bit. It was a tad warmer so we got to enjoy the outdoors, Luke was dressed in true Honda style with shorts and a T-shirt on. 

 

I can assure you, I had my thermal trousers on, next it was time for Rocky Road and flapjack with raspberry and white chocolate, although the chocolate orange cake was popular too.

 

 

Cars parked at the Whitworth Centre, Darley Dale. Hey, these do breakfast, shall we try this as a meeting point next time?

 

 

Big Andy is well known for having been chased by a chicken, so it was payback time as he mounted a co...shut it

 

 

@Glynn Walters here is the DBPower jump starter that we keep in our car.

 

 

Good to see @BillyPee back out temporarily with a new blue roof on the Porsche and having had the steering wheel recovered after it had delaminated.

 

 

His Westfield has had a bonnet respray and flared side panels fitted so is expected to be back on the road in July before having the tub sprayed during the winter.

 

Glynn has fitted a new slave cylinder and a clutch with a smaller plate after his issues last time we were out, this man doesn't hang around getting his car back up and running. I am sure there is a more technical name for 'clutch with a smaller plate' but hey, it's me talking here, cut me some slack😃

 

@LukeW had us all 'squealing' with laughter at his brakes, which were also squealing, thankfully he left a large gap from the car in front to reduce the need to brake, nice one.

 

Although I have missed my other Honda Boys today it has been a fantastic birthday and I could not think of anything that I would rather do, so thank you everyone for turning up, eating lot's and driving well. We love Westfield's, they are absolutely the very best things in the world, LONG LIVE THE WESTFIELD BRAND ❤️

[Glynn Walters]

Happy birthday again Julie🍰, another cracking outing and thanks for the new name for my car (I think….?😂) 

 

May have had a  few teething issues over the last year or so! But I guess that’s the joys of Westfield ownership and all part of the fun👍
 

almost right on the clutch mod/repair, but I just copied the S2000 boy’s and replaced master  cylinder from 0.75” to 0.625” as the Mazda clutch has always been a bit short, stiff and grabby! (Ooer missus…!)

And changed the slave cylinder for a better quality.
 

But we’ll let you off as it’s your birthday😜

May have done some shopping online too when I got back for the cars new name😉

 

[LukeW]

Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative

and the rest of the group for waiting at McDonald’s. You didn’t have to! 
Yet another great run out

Happy Birthday too by the way.

Ill definitely be making more of an effort to get out this year then I was last. Top day 👍🏼
