What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

I travelled across the neighbouring country of England yesterday, and everybody and their auntie was out. Pre war Singers on their way to Three Cocks show, Cosford air show, lines of Porsche 911s. going somewhere near Telford, and 2CVs making their belated way to Stratford race course. On the outskirts of Litchfield I waved cheerfully to a Chummy, who obviously did not notice a greeting from a modern. I was on my way to Curborough, to see, and fortunately to drive, a machine with one less wheels and two less cylinders than a Seven. Luckily it takes me seven minutes to get out of a 20s Morgan otherwise I would have rushed home to sell my cars immediately. Question for BSA stranglers out there, what is a Hotchkiss V twin like in comparison to the JAP?
