SteveH Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Looking forward to this one although I may not have a car to bring as I broke my gearbox at a charity day at Bruntingthorpe on Sunday . It's now away seeing if they can get it repaired in time, if not then it's just passenger rides whilst instructing for me! Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hate to put a downer on things -but forecast is looking to be raining on the day, how does this affect things in practice ( going fast in the wet in a Westfield is not the best of activites )?

stephenh Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Slow down a bit more!! It is possible to drive a Westfield in the wet. Just feed the power in gently out of the bends, and be prepared to apply a touch of opposite lock if the back does start to get loose. And dont leave your braking too late, because you might find you're locking up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I meant to add: and wear a waterproof jacket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Paul Just make sure you take the right clothing and drive as Stephen notes just take care and perhaps allow more time to undertake braking etc - driving in such conditions you often learn far more than if it were dry I'll be taking my gazebo It is very easy to drive a westfield in the wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
