The idea was to drive the Charade but it was so bl**** hot we couldn't be bothered. I thought kit cars and France were not word you saw together - Norman's isn't a kit car........:-0 And welcome to Westy-world! Quote

There are six other members in France so far, and I'm sure you'll enjoy being part of our big crazy worldwide happy family. Enjoy your new toy - magazines and a club sticker are on their way to you! Argh, six! More than North London... A very warm welcome though. All the more reason to get ourselves across the channel... Quote
Norman Verona Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Just for the record, Gatouille lives as far from me as (probably) London is from Glasgow. Maybe we can meet halfway. Quote
7sRWild Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Sod that.you have to do the Canada trip first...... Quote
martyblues Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Don't think the Canada ferries are running at this time of year. And the tunnel ? Quote
Norman Verona Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 You don't need ferries to get to Canada. You float across on maple leaves. Quote
User0083 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Welcome! I have a solution for your roof channel... Do not fix it! Put a press stud in the middle of the windscreen. If you ever drive above 70kph it lifts in the middle. Here are some photo's. I use my car in British weather, normally wet, and do a lot of motorway miles at night, in the rain. I also have neodymium magnets inside the roof, along the door seams, and they stick to the metal frame on the door to hold doors shut when the roof is up and it stops water and wind coming into the car.

Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of westfields and all the joys of ownership Martyn Quote
User0083 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 More clever ideas from guest, well done. Cheers, Which ideas of mine have you tried? Sure I sent you detailed instructions for something I've done. Quote
Gatouille Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 A lot of nice answers, thank you very much ! Thank you Scott, I enjoy your postmail, there is already have a WSCC's sticker in my car ;-) Maybe the first scottish owner was a member? Thank you for using french sentences ! Sorry marty I didn't understand A O : "Norm looks like an A O is required in your area." Soot1e, not flattering, realism. I can also told you a scoop, british food could be excellent, 10 years ago I spent 1 week for my job in Canterburry living in a nice bed and breakfast, food was really EXCELLENT, we are stil in touch with this bed and breakfast's owners. They were rebuiding a Wolseley from fifties which is a very exotic car in my country. Back in France I told everybody how very good was the food, of course they all wanted to bring me in a psychiatrichospital... Sorry the following later........ Quote
