Well done Mike,
I love the charity work with the seven.
Again well done.
For the first time I got the chance to attend a small show down the road from me thurlaston or desford car show. Must have been over 300 cars of wich 7 or 8 austin 7s. And probably 100 to 150 auto jumble stalls.
As I was taking the car out of the garage this morning, two tuned and stickered up mk1 ford escorts screamed past the house. Both checked the car as They went past. An old motorcycle followed much slower. ( BET THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE COOLEST THING ON THE ROAD)
I went the long way to the show, so I could give the car a warn. And YES to open the throttle a little on the straight from desford crossing to the show turning.
There is a pub the bell I think on the left, I flew past doing 65 and over. Both the escorts and the motorcycle sat there with the drivers watching me plus others as I screamed past them.
( I think a noisy austin 7 at speed looked far cooler to them, than there mk1 escorts did to me).
