What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

Austin Sevens were notably present at yesterday's VSCC Scatter Rally/Rali Gwasgarog, amongst entries and transport for organisers and marshals. The weather was good, no cars blew up, and everyone made thier way back to the Scout Hut at Presteigne. Sevens failed to grab the major prizes, but Val and Neil Brookes from Plymouth, well known for their much used Gordon Egland took the prize for the furthest competitor. Yesterday saw Jon Yeeles winning a one off award for The Cleanest Austin Seven Engine, his Chummy causing the scrutineer to complain that he should have been warned to wear dark glasses when inspecting under the bonnet. Jon said that he was now worried about the possibility of rusty sump bolts, not a threat to the underside of the organiser's Ruby. To the usual VSCC and Inter- Register suspects, many thanks, maybe we'll meet again in the freezing cold and pitch dark at Leominster for the Measham next year. I had no time to take snaps, hopefully someone might have some to post.
