Sometimes they nod their heads in a sympathetic way and offer to buy us therapeutic beer, or fizzy water. Sometimes they have great fun bouncing on trials, or the friendship survives navvying on rallies. Sometimes they wonder why we would not prefer a Morgan, an MG or an ohc Singer. And then just occasionally they ring up at seven o'clock in the morning and ask whether we've looked at Edmonds on line catalogue, full of Sevens, and ask which one should they snap up to enhance their lives. Chummy tourers include SH 3050, which has some David Cochrane parts, and OX 3050, with a recent John Heath body. Perhaps the most notable, either utterly dreadful or irresistibly desirable depending one one's thirst for patina, is XX7637, which does appear on the Pram Hood register. Apart from one or two pozidrive fastenings this seems very original, also boasting an Ian Bancroft engine rebuild and much recent work to allow tours of Scotland. Do forumists have any views, recommendations, reservations, other than wanting to encourage any or all of these Chummies to be snapped up by vigorous users, touring or sporting motorists this Saturday?
