Owning a 7?

[Ian Williams]

Simon driving a seven well is like riding a motorcycle in as much as you need to anticipate other road uses lack of brains and read the road well. However with a bike you have plenty of acceleration at your disposal whereas in seven you need to maintain speed and momentum due to a lack of acceleration. I think that is why a person who has raced a seven successfully will often be very in fast in bigger classes, out of necessity they have learnt the driving skills to be quick rather than rely on power for speed. You see it in Motorcycle racing, a rider who has honed his skills on a 125cc where they need to keep the thing spinning and carry speed through corners will then be exceptional on big bikes in the open class. On the road I am often held up by moderns, particularly when not on the motorway, today people are far to isolated form the driving experience and are often extremely inattentive.
