Another resounding competition victory for the Seven! The VMC weekend always includes the Cotswold Rally aka Ian Grace's Scatter. Teams of Morris Minors compete with Sevens for the Lewis Nicholson Trophy. For a number of years it has been my duty to report that Sevens have won, and this year no blushing modesty prevents me from recording another trophy win. Drivers Colin Bromley and Adrian Bradshaw look cheerful at the lunchstop whilst navvies attempt further plotting. Not sure whether Thomas Gray would have called Austin crew doing hasty repairs "hoary headed swains" because they were working in a country churchyard. Due to the camshaft failure of this writer's Ruby, Bromley's Chummy completed the day three up, at no point defeated by ascending hills, however descents three up when still with six inch brakes can be a little alarming. Sudeley Hill involved coming to a halt at the top, and then going down in first.
