What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Denis Sweeney]

Seems like torture for the poor old thing

[Ian Dunford]

Do you realise that other parts of what was once referred to as the UK also have lanes,and walls and hedges Bob?

[Tony Griffiths]

Thanks for posting that, Mike!

Nice splitter VW type II ...

It's a T1 Duncan - the T2 is the "bay window" version.

Hi Ian D
About 1961 I was transferred to the SI and in the manner of the time boarded privately. I ran an horrendous Ruby. An older mini owning fellow boarder had recently returned from his OE. He said he toured Britain in a Seven seeking out the lanes. But he reckoned with the brakes he was so concentarted on the next blind corner he never really saw much of Britain!

[Duncan Grimmond]

In my book a Volkswagen Type I is a Beetle, Type II is a bus and Type III is a Estate or Fastback, all with flat four stand up or lie down engines. My understanding is that the T prefix was first applied to the "square " type vans.

On Sunday, after some badgering by young Leon, we went out for a circular trip in the Seven.  From home, we went up Bwlch-y-Groes, then turning left, we went over the moors and down Cwm Eidda to Llyn Efyrnwy, then down to Rhosygwaliau and home. We covered about twenty-five miles, virtually all of it either up hill or down dale.

Bob, I have no idea what you mean by SI & OE.
So far as I can tell from Google:
SI is Systeme International d'Unites, The definition of units.
OE means Operator Error.
Doesn't make sense.
Your friend should have fixed his brakes!
