What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

   
   
Today went out to recce the Cotswold Historic Hillclimbs Tour route. Fords have to be included in any tour, less expected is the wildlife that wanders over to look at checking oil levels. No snaps were taken of hills. On some we had to keep going vigorously so as not to get in the way of Ulsters, GNs or in the case of Saintbury Hill, obstruct Slippery Anne out road testing. On other very very steep hills, clouds of clutch smoke or hastily dismounted passengers preventing uncontrolled reverse descent prevented photography. The Ruby, and other jewels have been much praised in this forum, but there can be times when one is reminded that the Ruby power to weight ratio is not quite the same as other Sevens.
