What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

OK here.

[Hedd_Jones]

I believe the picture host is temporarily down

["Slack Alice" Simon]

I haven't had pictures from Hedd for about a month, at least.

Everyone else's, but not Hedd's.

Just the code.

[Steve kay]

My little machine is showing both the images and the jumble that I take to be the code.

[David Stepney]

Hedd's pictures are showing normally for me.

[Parazine]

Normal using my work laptop, Windows 10/Chrome.

Not OK at home (Windows 10 (64 bit), both Chrome and Edge)

[Hugh Barnes]

Hedd's pictures were only 'links' for me yesterday, but now are showing correctly. Whatever the issue, it seems to have been resolved.

I had a day off yesterday for my wife's birthday. She fancied lunch at The Falls of Foyers above Loch Ness, about 20 miles from home and we made a spontaneous decision to take the Austin. The falls were almost non-existent after months of dry weather but the journey home was an adventure.

We followed a very steep twisty road out of Inverfarigaig, having romped to the top in second gear we found ourselves on a largely unmade road for 5 miles. Very scenic and great fun. 50 mile round trip.

Hi Mick.

 Will be very interested in your impressions. I fitted lever hydraulics to my RP. Greatly reduced pitching on certain poor surfaces but seemed to little alter handling. The same fitted to the rear trnasformed the car and enabled broken patches, metal corrugations, shingle drifts to be encountered at terminal velocity and survive. Roll was much reduced/slowed and the associated snap oversteer, terrifying on unsealed roads. But the Ruby rear sas are more effective.

Hi Bob,

Probably a bit soon to give an account of the handling, but first impressions after a 2 mile run around the pot holed streets of Doncaster for a 'shakedown' are that the car feels a lot more 'planted'. I can't claim there was a dramatic change - a longer run might be more revealing. The least that can be said is that the Ruby's front end looks a lot cleaner and shinier than it was before!

Is that the famous Corkscrew you drove? We went up that on a Highland Fling in 2012 and I've never had so much fun! I wanted to go back down and do it again but time was pressing.
