What have you done today with your Austin Seven
As most of you know my RP does get about a bit. Whilst it is capable of running at 50-55mph on the flat, it's asking a heck of a lot of the car and keeping it straight and level is hard work.

Normal "tootling" I find is best done at between 35 and 40mph when everything runs nice and smooth with no risk of my fillings falling out, and a fair chance of being able to stop if I need to.

I tend to limit the speed if hillclimbing in 3rd to 25mph so as to maintain engine longevity, even though she'd probably run at 30mph if I pushed it. Your right foot gets tired after a while mashing it into the floor.

Perhaps I'm getting a bit less reck.
