BILL SHEEHAN'S NEWS AND VIEWS - JonE - 28-06-2018
Bill has technical difficulties starting new posts from a library computer, so...
'Suggest no one posts except to reply to things he wishes to initiate here!
RE: BILL SHEEHAN'S NEWS AND VIEWS - Timothy P - 28-06-2018
Good idea Jon. It made me think maybe duplicating the button as a link here may provide Bill with a method of initiating threads once more.
Let me know if it works for you Bill, and feel free to test it out.

Brilliant, Jon. Thanks to you & Timothy I can now annoy the hell out of everybody. For Newbies I should explain I was one of the first (and a regular) contributors to the website that emanated from Oz & was picked up by the Management here when our Canadian-born enthusiast in Adelaide decided to give it away. The good news now is that Bruce contacted me recently to tell me that he wishes to get back into Sevens again & wanted me to find him a suitable car. Thanks again, Bill in Oz

The website is still available thanks to Bruce-
http://www.theaustinsevenmotoringpages.info/
As he notes last updated in 2003 but still some interesting information especially to Australian Sevenists. There have been references to it in the Forum.
Cheers, Tony.

Is anyone able to help me in locating/emailing David Wortley, Tony Griffiths or Roger North please? I have an embarrassing feeling that the latter enthusiast may have passed away, if wrong I sincerely apologise in advance, but would appreciate help with contacting any of them still about. Cheers, Bill in Oz .

Dave and Tony are both members of the Forum so will hopefully see your post Bill.
The title of this posts reads like some spin-off to ‘Not The 9. O’clock News’ has been created - cannot wait!

Last heard (maybe two or three years ago) Roger North had moved to the London area to be near his son and family; I think his son is involved in Air Traffic Control, presumably at one of the major London airports.

Thank you all. Over the weekend I realised I'd stupidly left out my email address (Senior moment) .Already Ruairidh has emailed me direct to give me the Wortly & Griffiths emails. I've listed my email on other postings, but if "news & Views" is to be a permanent posting, it's ausevenoz@gmail.com Again, Thanks for help so far. Cheers, Bill, in Oz

Sorry to be a further nuisance, but the email handworthy@tiscali.co.uk bounced back. Does anyone have a more recent address for Dave Wortley please. I had no trouble getting through to Tony G. Grateful for help. Cheers, Bill

I glanced thru the technical info which the reference produced, although I recall seeing it before somewhere.
One detail; Lester Reeder (now deceased) had his workshop with the Rubber Duck a few doors from where I stayed. He was probably less than 10 years older so his special heads would have been produced in the 1950s, perhaps early 60s. Were intended for conventional engines. It is no coincidence but one of his special building colleagues was a pattern maker. They had all run modified road Sevens but in the early 60s had progressed beyond.
