Firstly Happy New Year to one and all.Remember that all we are seeking to promote in the Centenary event will be practically done and dusted within slightly more than 6 months!
That's a really sobering thought, especially to those already involved in the planning of this massive event.
I agree wholeheartedly about the necessity of the presence of making our favourite little cars visible on every possible occasion- and I use mine daily for any trip, not only just locally
but on longer travels with like minded seveners.
Drive it Day encourages us to show off our cars, and we should be doing it every day, for there are few occasions where they are defeated by weather conditions. I would rather take a Seven out in the snow than any FWD modern.
I find most of my journeys take much longer than they should, no because of performance issues, but for conversations with interested complete strangers, of all ages, who appear out of nowhere as soon as I park.
I have been promoting my Sevens for 50+ years continuously, starting with my first rally (Golden Jubilee 1972). The more Sevens seen around on a regular basis in public this year the less they are likely to attract the unwelcome attention of the so called 'environmentalists'
.
Off this evening for a nice pint in my local, spreading the word!
Cheers Bob
