Took the Ruby out for twenty five miles or so, stopping now and again for slight dizzy adjustments which either flatten the rolling Welsh hills or significantly improve performance. Very little traffic, though a Farina body A40 did hoot a greeting.
Looking under the bonnet confirmed that seeking oil tightness is not an impossible dream, it doesn't drip, let alone leak. If there is one thing we can do on the forum it is to credit the world of Sevens and the help everyone can give. Malcolm Lyon, Andy Fox and Richard Houlgate told me what to do in Leominster Priory. Cherished suppliers, Jamie, David Cochrane, Tony Betts and Dave Dye supplied the bits. The Great Chieftain of the Seven race stood on the top of the Campsies and with his conch shell sent a message to Wales. "Oi, take it apart, and do it again, correctly this time!" Many thanks to all.
Interesting times, lots of time and money improving elex and lights for the Measham, from which some of us were banned. Steering box removal and sorting to improve the ability to quickly wiggle round cones, which won't happen. Won't be any rallying, so no vigorous debate with navvies this summer. At least no oil will be dropped in supermarket car parks when attempting to load the luggage rack with bog rolls. No reports of panic Autoglym buying, so perhaps a wash might be a good idea.
