What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[jansens]

Nice pic Greig. Trust the local rag to spell your name wrong though! It's good when people want to come ask you about the car. People are generally totally clueless about cars these days. On pedal for go, one for stop. Lift the bonnet and can't even see an engine now.

I've been watching a lot of American Hotrod Garage and Roadkill lately. Hot rods and pro-touring cars aren't exactly my thing but you have to appreciate the pure raw power and  mechanical-ness of what those guys do. Everything is on view and you can see what it's for. Engines look like engines and V8s sounds great of course. Big and simple and unsophisticated. Actually, sounds like most of the Americans I know...

I always wonder what they'd make of our little Austins. Especially the little racing ones.
