What have you done today with your Austin Seven

What did we do today? Well, since you ask, modesty compels me blush slightly and to say we won the Pre War class in Bob Blackstock's excellently organised Inter Register Rally. Whilst we got all control boards and reached every marshals post, times achieved by a Ruby wheezing up and then going very gently down the Cotswolds earned us many more time penalties than the overall winning Volvo Amazon, pictured at the start. The Chummy of Ecurie Bradshaw was second in class, though somewhat hampered by a overheating magneto. Thanks to Bob and  his number  of marshals who seemed highly entertained by a rallying Ruby, particularly the rather hidden control who had a demonstration of Seven brakes, or lack thereof as we whizzed past and then had to reverse to get our card signed.
