Am posting here mainly to bump it up the list to make easier to find.
Amazing sight of so many 7s on the latest video.
Makes me think of a problem I had meeting up with a friend in Vegas. I had been many times for work, they were going on holiday for the first time and didn't have a US mobile phone and left theirs switched off in the hotel room for fear of high charges. We decided to keep it simple 'meet you by the Cleopatra's needle at Luxor', which I thought was an easy landmark to use as I had walked past it many times. We waited in the heat for 2 hours, called and left messages, gave up. Went inside to look around as had never been in and found a smaller needle going up the inside, where they had been waiting in the air con' comfort. We later found we had swapped places at some point, realised the error, gone back and both given up at a similar time.
So, the reason for my tale. I can imagine some Friends meeting up. Usually at a car show you can just head over to the Austin 7s and find them, but here, 'Meet you by the Austin 7s' might prove a little trickier. Perhaps 'I'll be the one with the Centenary T shirt' might cut it down to a few hundred...
