What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[David Stepney]

I too have copper cored HT leads with horizontal brass ends on my car, and they are perfectly satisfactory. As Howard point out, though, they can be electrically noisy. However, if my passing is marked by other people's radios making strange noises, or their TV screens getting wavy lines, it is not my concern.

Onto the subject of this thread, as the little car had not been out since my trip to the tyre fitters some ten days ago, and it being dry this morning, I took the RP over to Llangynog to feed the horses.

On the way back, I made the acquaintance of a gentleman and his lady wife who were going for a run over to Bala from Llanfyllin in a very nicely presented late model Morris Minor Traveller. This is only the fourth time that I have seen a classic car over the Berwyns and only the second time, I have been able to chat with the owner, the last time being in the summer (when I was in the Polo) when I came across a Riley 12/4 special. So we spent a pleasant 15/20 minutes looking at each others cars and admiring them. Unfortunately, i had used up my eight exposures in the little Kodak, so haven't got a picture of it. However, so as not to completely disappoint those who like photos, herewith a selection representing my trip:-

I find that, throughout my various posts, there is plenty of mention of Llew the motoring dog, but he appears in photos only as a brown smudge. Anyway, here he is sitting in the back of the car waiting to go home.
