New A7CA mag - well done! - JonE - 25-01-2018
Just had the new 2018A mag through the door.
Congratulations to all involved.
Don't want to say anything else as it will spoil other's enjoyment/anticipation of opening the post - but likewise, deserves to be said a.s.a.p. because it has obviously involved hard work!

New editor Les Gammon has put in a lot of spade work. Well done!

My copy of the Association magazine has just arrived and I would like to add my congratulations to the editor Les Gammon for the quality of the publication.
A very high bar has been set for future editions!
Regards from the creative county - Staffordshire.

I will offer my congratulations,too; I am particularly envious of those rounded corners -it was always the intention to include them on the first 1970A issue, but they proved too costly and time consuming to produce.

The photo on page 20 I thought was inspirational, but Mrs H was not convinced. She remembered my mother's cautionary tale about when I rebuilt my 1931 A7's engine on the kitchen table one Easter.(1957 or 8) (Re-bore,new pistons /rings/ decoke etc)......worked a treat afterwards (thank you Mr Pitman!)
Timing went back 180 degrees out & we had spectacular flames from the carburettor!

The new/old look mag is a superb job. Well done!
I particularly like the top half of page 30!

Yes, very good indeed.
I am amused by the photo on P20 showing Trevor Miller and his Chummy in his living room! Is more known about him...how did he get it in and out...obviously through a door wide enough of course! His wife being more interested in the TV.
Reminds me of chap who built a small plane in his living room and had to take the front of his out to get it out.
All houses really ought to be built around our hobbies and interests, actually looking at Martin Prior's website, all houses should look like his workshop frontage!

When it was handed out at our workshop day I thought it was a 'special' extra to the usual mag. It took me a little while to realise t was a new look for the grey mag. I have to say that it has a lovely nostalgic feel and has the content to match it.
I got into trouble the other day for having a new carb in the kitchen for some cleaning out. Not sure how far I would get with a whole car.
Congrats to all involved.

You should have hidden it in the dishwasher!
