What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

Amongst the things I have done this morning is look at the vital forum, and consider why some folk have doubts about trialling Rubies. There are photos of Rubies trialling at Forrestburn, and an invitation for them to enter Stoneacre Farm. No Rubies in the recent Clee Hills, but a couple of robust Seven specials, certainly ineligible for the VSCC Welsh. PWA7C is one of the invited clubs for this weekend’s March Hare Trial. Not a Ruby entered, but a suitable machine for the white road and green lanes between sections. However if I arrived at Turkish Delight Quarry in a Ruby I would just walk to the start of each hill and get the Marshall to sign the sheet. Whether a 24 Chummy, or a 36 Ruby, the Seven has always been an excellent trials machine, and if certain clubs get sniffy about them, the perfect reason to rampage about in one! Ever seen a picture of a Delage or 6C Alfa in Butts Quarry? And now back to the workshop.
