Trialing a ruby!

[JohnD]

The Works competition department had a supercharged Ruby but I think it was only used for rallies.    There is a super publicity film of the new Austin 8 tackling Lakeland passes which should give you some hope.  Might be worthwhile fitting that pair of Nobby spring helpers that you are bound to have on your shelf?

 I do indeed, i probably dont have the time to fit them tho!

Fit the Nobby springs and tell the scrutes that the suitcase on the luggage rack contains the sandwiches that you will be taking to Aunt Muriel in South Morningside after the trial. As aunt Muriel traditionally greets you “ you’ll have had your sash weights, then.”

 I did think abut a concrete spare wheel - a bit more discreet, possibly! 

Plenty of rubys out trialing, even more ruby based specials including ours. A set of Mitas K70 copies on the rear will help as most road tires offer little grip in the mud.

Not sure there are plenty of Rubys out trialing - never seem to see any photos from recent events etc - a Ruby special is more akin to a standard seven than a ruby

Thanks everyone for the replys, we will see how things go, one thing is certian tho, the Waymaster tyres will be getting swapped out for somthing with a bit more grip!
