What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Coming back from Wrexham in the dark last Friday, I had the misfortune to have a puncture in the near side rear tyre. The car began to feel 'funny', but I was not able to pull up immediately, but managed to find somewhere to stop safely underneath the last streetlight in Trevor. Changing a wheel by lamplight brigs back memories.......

Anyway, this morning, it being a nice bright day, I took the Seven down to my tyrefitter friend in Bont Newydd, about 9 miles form home towards Dolgellau, taking, as a precaution,  a new inner tube with me just in case. This indeed proved to be a wise move, as not only was the tube punctured, but the several yards that the tyre had been driven flat had torn the valve from the tube itself.  I can't complain too much, as the tube was a Dunlop Airstop and must be about 40 years old.
