[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Hi,

 

Assuming the weather holds (fingers crossed!), I'm heading down to Curborough (WS13 8EJ) to watch the SDCC Sprint.

 

We will aim to get there about 10am.

 

Spectators are free and the cafe will be open.

 

Feel free to come along 👍

Weather looks OK until about 11am. Tbh it's just as bad here near Bristol tomorrow until late afternoon when it's set to pick up. I can't believe it's July, it's so flipping rubbish lately. Last time I drove the Carrot was to the MOT and back, a grand total of 2½ miles 😤

We've been lucky here, we've managed to do Curborough twice, Mallory once and the local pub meet in mine in the last 2 weeks!

That's damned good going Rob! I have noticed how often and sometimes in not great weather you guys north of us get out. Maybe we are just southern softies after all 😂

 

I have in a few moments of madness considered actually moving house to be in the area where the most Westfield blatting action occurs. Hey I'm single and 63, what the hell else am I gonna do with my life 🤣

You are gonna have to tell me what TLWN and A&B mean please!?

Hi, TLWN = The long way north road trip

A&B= Andy & Becky , we’re local to Rob and the crowd we call friends 😜

Amazingly, I managed to dodge the rain and landed at Curborough about 930. Once Lee had landed we headed for the cafe.

 

Glynn arrived shortly after, he hadn't been quite so lucky dodging the showers however 😂

 

After our previous meet at Curborough, I'd been contacted by a budding young photographer on Instagram. Corey and his dad Rob are locals and both huge petrolheads, spending their free time at car meets. They'd taken a great interest in our cars so with permission from his dad, I'd taken a spare skidlid with me to take Corey for a spin down the local lanes. He absolutely loved it, hopefully we have a future Westfield owner, takes a decent photo too (more to come!).

 

 

 

Heading down to the paddock, there was the usual mix of cars

 

A stunning (and far too clean!) Clio running Jenvey throttle bodies.

 

1290cc A Series powered GTM out for its first run of the year

 

Lovely formula ford

 

It wouldn't be a Sprint without some Westfields!

 

 

About to head home, we bumped into Geoff (member and Curborough regular) who had sensibly left the Westfield at home due to rain around Birmingham and come along in his MGF (far more waterproof!😂).

 

Thankfully I got home in time to watch the F1.... what a race!!

 

Great to see everyone, let's hope we get a proper summer soon!
