What an awesome day out at Newark kit car show. I must say an absolute big thankyou to everyone one that went and took part in making it happen and to all of the kit companies showing off there new cars. I really enjoyed speaking and meeting Chris for the first time today with his YouTube yellow tiger Avon build. With my car being featured in the videos too.
Seeing tigers new R10 car aswell was absolutely stunning in every single way. I’m very sorry I missed Julie and Glen I will see you guys on the next drive hopefully. But yes a big thanks from them for the cakes.

Well as my first official event, I really couldn't have picked a better one!

 

It was plain to see the effort and organisation that had went into putting it together and I'm sure the envy of all the other clubs there.

Many thanks to @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator  and everyone else who helped put on such a fantastic display and I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you all.

 

I have enjoyed a very warm welcome here since joining the club in June and it was lovely today to finally put some faces to the names.

 

Thank you to @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative   @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary  and  @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman

For extending the warm welcome once again in person.

 

We had a fantastic day and will hopefully make it back down again soon.

 

 

You can thank us for bringing the good weather down with us later.

My sincerest apologies as I never got your name, but whoever handed me your tools, ductape, tie-wraps and bolt, you are a star and you'll be pleased to know that the cycle wing repair hold up just fine all the way home 🤜 🤛

Great pictures, thanks for posting. 

 

It appears though that I missed out on some Beer 🍺, was it hidden away when the Scotsmen arrived? 😃

Home now from 2 nights at Newark.  The drive down on Friday was grey, but dry. I arrived just in time to help put the marquee up then my tent. BBQ fired up for burgers and beers opened when everything was sorted. Saturday started grey, bacon sarnies all round and soon the sun was out and definitely the best day no matter what the weather apps were saying. Around 35 cars came, with Westfield Avenue gently bending to the right. (Got to keep it straighter for Malvern). Saturday night, the A Team went for pizza, but the fine weather didn't stay. Lightening in the distance, and rain around midnight. The 3 Westfields there were a bit damp the next morning,  we should have put them in the marquee, but didn't! Sunday morning was misty and drizzly and it remained like that all day. Not many cars on Sunday, about 7 in total. Breakdown was completed for 1, just in time for the rain to start properly. My journey home was wet, with rain all the way up the A1 and the wipers and indicators not working. 

Another good weekend with the WSCC, and big thanks to all who came and to @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinatorfor organising. 

 

Video of Westfield Avenue on Saturday, can you see your car?

As @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO has mentioned even though Saturday was fantastic bad weather did its best to spoil Sunday, 3 westies camped over and two arrived Sunday along with a Striker, thanks again to all who came along and all who mucked in with set up and today with breakdown in not so nice conditions thank you @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO @HB46443 @Kenner

I needed it. It's what every style icon is wearing. 

Windscreen wipers and indicators would have been good too.

I’ve had the washing drying out on the line today 🤣

Marcus, don’t leave that on the line for too long or else they’re be a line of Westy’s with drivers alongside side looking for the marque + coffee ☕️ & cakes 🧁
