I'm relatively new to Austin 7s - I had an RN last year but didn't use it much and sold it and bought a little Boat Tail Tourer early this year, but I've not used that as much as I intended. This was partly due to a new job and partly due to having taken a renewed interest in Classic Motorcycles, but these are just excuses - I just need to use it more!
Having bought tickets to the Centenary, I'm starting to prepare for the trip (spares, route, car prep etc), but my main "concern" is that I haven't done a trip of more than 30 miles and it's about 130miles each way to Moreton in the Marsh and I want to drive it rather than trailer it.
The 7 has performed well in the short trips I've taken, but part of my Centenary prep will need to be longer test runs.
With this in mind I think joining "the Club" would be sensible, but having googled it there seem to be a good number of clubs. Some seem to be national and some more regional, but even the national ones seem to have their events in a particular region. I'd also like to try some trials and some clubs seem to do it and others don't.
So which club? (I'm based in the Peak District of North Derbyshire)
