What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Today I did a bit of a brake test on the ORT. Having accelerated off a roundabout I realised that the car in front had come to a sharp stop... low winter sun making their brake lights impossible to see... anchors on, an impressive (?) 4 wheel lock up and I wasn't convinced I was going to stop. There was a drop kerb to my left so I borrowed a bit of the footpath to avoid the inevitable. 

No damage done apart from my tyres having a few 16ths scrubbed off... and a filthy look from a pedestrian about 50 yards further on who probably thought I'd impatiently driven through the small gap. 

Thankful I drive a Seven and not a Twelve!
