Hi Ruairdhn
We almost managed to meet up in Glasgow but better luck next time.
I am 70 and still getting used to it.
I used to go to a local car club but working 12 hour ( and sometimes 24 hour) days made it difficult
Now retired I am reluctant to travel long distances at night although I usually meet at a local social club weekly
Ideally Iwould rather meet during the day although that would not suit people who are not retired .
I find that the A 7 forum supplies a lot of my information ( and sometimes entertainment) and is a lot more approachable than other clubs related to my other vehicles .
when I first played with A7’s at 16 there was basically no info available. My present Ruby I have had for 30 years and when I rebuilt the engine still difficult to get info. Work got in the way and it should almost be back on the road once I fine! Tune the brakes.
Rubyman ( Graham) I will be at the NEC on the Friday and I would like to meet up especially someone with engineering get experience either there or in sheffield or Doncaster please contact me if you wish to do so ( I am not an an Engineer although my son is)
Mike Costigan. - I go to Fosters about once a week ( they make good scones) and I have “ met”. Any of the Austin’s there
Sorry the reply got a little long
