What have you done today with your Austin Seven

Once you go silicone you'll never go back...

All my engines have paper joints silicone joints weren't available 25 years ago Reckless.

I know, Dave, but perhaps now's the time to try one. You won't be disappointed.

I did a year ago

Hi All,

Had an amazing evening at the Nightjar rally. We were one of 3 Austin 7s. Gary Edwards was in his beautiful Swallow Saloon, having driven the 90 miles from Brighton before the event had even started. The other 7, was the PWA7C loan car. Ben Stevens is certainly making the most of his 12 months of use. It turns out that I had seen Ben only 2 weeks earlier, when I was marshalling at the start of the London to Brighton run. He was part of the team driving his university's 1902 James and Browne - and he lives only about 8 miles away from me.

Sorry Steven Kay, we didn't set the scoreboards alight. Alvis and Riley dominated. So I fear we won't be bringing the Inter-Register trophy home.

Everyone had a lot of fun, and thanks to a full entry, it looks like it will continue for another year. I'm looking forward to it already.

Having got home at 1:30 this morning, I'm feeling a bit thick this morning - matching my intellectual performance from the night before.

Fun in the Cairngorms today…

After my inversion at Harewood in September, the Ulster has come in for some bodywork repairs that I've now finished. I've painted it as well. However, as part of the latter I decided, at last, that the bonnet should be painted in body colour rather than the bare aluminium it's been for the last 12 years. Those that know me and my cars will understand that painting a bonnet is something that's a bit alien to me so this was quite a big step. Final coat went on yesterday but this morning drying hadn't occured to any great extent. Understandable given the weather at the moment. What was really needed was for it to be in a warmer environment so, whilst Mrs. J was out early afternoon, I transferred it into our back Sitting Room. She's back now and hasn't made any particular adverse comment

Still with the "etch primer" finish?
