It is perhaps fortunate that the Lewis & Nicholson is not run under similar regs to the Schneider Trophy, as Sevens would have taken it home in perpetuity some time ago. But no, every year we faithfully return one or other sculpture or the decorative compass, the latter currently proudly siting just in font of this desk, and for hours of nail-biting navigation and fearsome descents of multiple chevrons, make our way to the finish, which is often quite close to the last page in Ian's route book. Humble Sevenists, who can barely tell the difference between a Romer and a slide rule, just manage by a half minute or three quarters of a point, to blow the Minors into the weeds. So should we enter a second Scuderia Seven? Fear not, scrutineers will not pronounce you ineligible if your Chummy has a Big Seven front axle, will they Adrian? That's enough hiding in the study, I hear Ruby brakes calling.
