What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Went up to my friend Jim's garage at Penybryn near Wrexham this morning to beg his assistance in fitting my new windscreen seals. Had huge fun as we discovered that the windscreen was about 1/16th inch short all the way round and had been fitted to the frame with small wooden packing pieces.

On the way there, called in at a garage on the A5 at Glyndyfrdwy to fill up. Got 500 yards up the road and the car petered out. Turned out to be a vapour lock in the carb feed pipe.

Noticed that someone has written  "Cofiwch Dryweryn" on a wall in the last few days. For those that don't know,  in 1957 a deeply controversial private act was passed to allow Liverpool City Council to build a dam in the Tryweryn valley, between Bala and Trawsfynydd, flooding the historic village of Capel Celyn The dam was finally finished in 1965. It appears that old wounds run deep even after 60 years!. Had to take a photo of it on the way back. FG can be seen lurking just to the right of the writing, but the contrast was a bit much for the camera.

Came back through Corwen, so I had to couple the writing on the wall with the statue of Owain Glyndwr in the town.

I was hoping to get FG next to the statue, but there was a bl**dy Renault in the way!!!
