Yes I second that absolutely brilliant. One thing that it brought home to me was the cost of buying and running an Austin Seven. Until I bought my Ruby I was totally ignorant as to running costs etc. I was unaware of such things as cherished suppliers of spares and thought owners had to search the earth for parts or alternatively have them made for them in expensive engineering shops. I was also amazed at the cost of insurance far cheaper than for my modern something that I wrongly thought would be much more than a new car.
All my friends and neighbours (until I explained things to them) were of the opinion I had won the lottery When I bought my seven as they were also of the opinion it was a very expensive hobby.
Perhaps we should push the low cost aspect of owning and running a seven. That is if you are prepared to repair and service it yourself.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
