I have been thinking about this overnight Tony.
For me, the car itself has always been a vehicle for social interaction and I don’t consider it a hobby, it is a way of life that has allowed me to meet really interesting people and visit wonderful places. I struggle with static rallies because I find them really boring and I have left all the Clubs that just sit at tables once a month to chat minutia of originality over a lemonade and lime.
I would promote loaning a Seven to a friend, my father did this and I was recipient of such when I started to study in the 1990s. I would promote giving away your surplus spares - that most likely were given in the first place - to allow economical builds to occur. I would promote just using the cars as a youngster, whilst responsibilities are less and energy is high.
The story is interesting, as an aside, but the experiences and adventure are the thing that really hook a young mind.
At the dinner table last night we discussed our plans for summer 2023 as a family. Our girls of 10 and 13 eyes lit up when they realised that a visit to Europe in the Austin was once again a real possibility. They went on to talk excitedly of where they will take their own families in the future, in the Sevens they have chosen to inherit!
So yes, promote the story and the history but don’t forget the experiences and the friendships that open up too.
