Strangely, it was cloudy here this morning so I thought I would make the most of the ( slightly) cooler weather to get the RP out and give it a run round the block. The way home brought me through St Ambroix, the route that the Tour de France will take on 3rd September. Unfortunately I had forgotten that it was market day (I rarely know what day it is) and the place was rammed, both with tourists and traffic. It took me about 20 minutes to cover the kilometer or so through the town centre. Nevertheless after clearing the market place and the entrance to Lidl I hot a clear run up the hill out of town. The car was running really well and was quite happy to pull and even accelerate in top gear up the long and reasonably steep climb. And they say Austin Sevens have no performance! (Relatively)
