Everyone is welcome and come in any car you like. Who is joining us?

Well @Big Andy today will go down in history, how very hilarious, your timing was impeccable😁, so I think it is safe to say that we will see you and Debs on New Years Day at Carsington Water and you can tell the wider group the story😮

 

Everyone please remember you have to pay for parking when you are ready to leave site. ANPR will record your number plate and you have 24 hours to pay online, otherwise you pay pay by cash or card at the terminal. 

 

Currently showers are forecast for the morning so I have washed the MX5 today just in case but if we can at all get the Westfield out we will. 

 

Looking forward to it, see you all there😍

Yes well I was amazed to see that we had called when you was in but to be  greated like that we'll I was gob smacked  it was so  funny  @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative

It was nice to see you though 

 

We can only guess, you were greated with either "Wow, your 3rd Westfield, how many days are you keeping this one?" or "If you're not in a Westfield, where's my cake?" 😉

The weather is looking good!

 

I'll be doing the normal stop at the A50/A38 services (DE65 6DX) at about 915am for a 930am depart if anyone fancies a convoy.

Sorry, didn't make it! Got within 15 minutes, but after wading through many flooded roads, the last big flooded bit - exhaust pipe underwater! 

 

I think I may have got a short, long story short, within less than a mile of emerging from the flood, I coasted to a halt with a melted fuel pump relay!

Swapped the VTEC relay in, as it was right there, to get home!

 

Hope you had a great morning - other than all the standing water and debris on the roads, the weather was lovely, chill, but lovely!!

Happy New Year everyone. Finally the sun comes outand then I moan that it spoils my photo's, so if anyone has better ones please add them. Here we are at Carsington on our joint WSCC and Burton Car Club meet. I don't think we invited the MX5 club but we came in ours and Richard and Casey came in theirs. Casey's son has a turbo'd Mk1 MX5 which needs to join us at some point pleeeeeease.

Our Westfield had sprung a leak on the thermostat housing, a new gasket is due to arrive on Wednesday, it has been fixed with silicon gasket sealer last night although it has not been test driven.

We went for breakfast at Carsington quickly before the crowds arrived, there was a long queue as we left the restaurant.

Back in the car park more cars had arrived from the Burton Car Club

Next we went to Quacker's for the obvious reason, cake! it's rude to start a diet on the very first day of the year! That sunshine is at it again, spoiling my photo's

The Cake Meister was in residence and up to his usual tricks by getting the corner piece😋
