What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

Having recently treated the RP to a new pair of Longstones for the rear axle, I decided to use the best of the old ones as a spare, seeing that the existing spare had been on the back of the car probably since before the Queen came to the throne. It was a Goodyear "Grasshopper" 3.25 x 19 WM2 and was seriously past its bliss point. The bloody thing was so hard that I almost had to resort to the angle grinder to get it off, but after leaving it in the sun for a couple of hours it finally relented.

I now have a full set of 5 matching boots.

If anyone wants the old one to hang on a spare garage nail, it's yours. You just have to come and fetch it. Tread is good, but it's got more cracks and wrinkles than Joan Collins.
