Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - March 2023

[Mike Costigan]

A 1935 Ruby adapted for daily use by a South African clergyman, from the front cover of a 1965 Austin Magazine.

   

[Duncan Grimmond]

As it's our anniversary today I would have loved that for our wedding car in 1975. We had to make do with my old J4 van...

[Malcolm Parker]

I wonder if the front half of the Ruby is pulling a pair of donkeys somewhere in the Bush?

2 donkeys = 1 horse, so what did the 7 need the extra 6 horses for ?

[Mike Costigan]

Two more horses to cope with the heavier half of the car which has been discarded, two horses to cope with the extra carrying capacity, and two more horses to go rather faster 

[Alan]

A horse can produce about 15 horsepower.

[Colin Morgan]

The rear bumper is in better nick than mine.

Points of interest - not least - colour, rear tyre size, number plate, curtains... moth-eaten appearance of ass on the left.

[Mick Hobday]

A schoolboy can produce about one horsepower when breaking school rules and sprinting up stairs, or so my physics master, "Pop Robbo" used to say.
He could have been right, given that 1 hp is 33,000 foot pounds per minute, which is equivalent to a well built and fit schoolboy weighing 12 stones and running up a 12 feet flight in a little under 4 seconds.
