What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

   

   

Meanwhile, looking down onto Hay on Wye, the weather forecast for the Three Cocks Show turned put to be wholly inaccurate, fortunately by being dry all day rather than the more traditional soaked to the skin routine. The Hereford Austin 7 Club turned up en masse. A certain senior member with a Mk 2 Ruby, not pictured, had suffered a centre bearing failure, which in a particularly jovial manner he would occasionally fire up the engine to demonstrate, and most alarming it sounded. There were numerous suggestions that the preferred response would be to drop the sump, and take out the remains of centre bearing, sparing the crankshaft the unhappy relationship with what was no longer supporting it. However he decided to drive back to Hereford and in due course we will find out how long the crankshaft lasted.
