What have you done today with your Austin Seven
As gardening was rained off, I retreated to the garage and made up a hub locking device from an old brake drum and a spare length of rod. The drum proved to be made of remarkably hard steel and it brought to mind (because of the material quality I suppose) that wonderfully funny story by Roald Dahl "Parson's Pleasure" that includes the mention of an Austin Seven. "Clergymen, they don't 'av big cars, they 'av piddlin little uns like Austin Sevens". However, that's not the point of the story and, if you don't like "dealers" and their inflated prices, get hold of a copy. You'll enjoy it. A lot.
