What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Denis Sweeney]

Took Ruby out today on a recce of our motorway and dual carriageway free route from home in Medway to Dover in preparation for the Eurotour which starts in less than 3 weeks time. Our longest trip in Ruby so far, 120 miles covered in all including some detours, a couple of hiccups along the way, a strong smell of petrol resulting from a leaking carb, the 2 screws on the top of the float chamber coming loose, followed by the condenser in the distributor giving up the ghost but apart from that, a good shake down for her.
Also managed to survive some persistent rain including some real heavy downpours which flooded the roads and found Ruby to be surprisingly leak tight.
The route was a success too, just need to get some ear plugs now……
