What have you done today with your Austin Seven
No Austin 7 ing for me. I buggered a main bearing on the traction engine about a month ago. Had it smoking and wiped the bronze into the oil grooves. The cranks been up, weve cleaned out the grooves (with a dremmell) done a lot of scraping and polishing ane everything is now back in one piece.

Had it in steam today. Bearing ran warmer than the one we havnt touched, but not hot. Did about 3 mile at 'tootle' which is about 4-5mph. Then the same 3 mile at a 'canter,' which is about 5-7mph. Not tried 'cruise' (10mph) yet. Or going like hell (12mph). Some more tootling required before we get there. 

I said hello to the Gordon England however. It still hung from the roof.
