What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Nick Lettington]

On my '34 tourer, there is a bracket with a hole in it that allows you to fold the front half of the rear sidescreen and stick the floating leg into the hole in the bracket.  

This is situated just in front of the top of the rear seat..

Thanks Simon... any chance of a photo? The trouble with letting the wind pin it back comes when you slow and it swings forwards again.

Removed the old tyres ready for powder coating the wheels

The RP has been quite busy over the last fortnight or so. A fortnight ago last Sunday, I drove down to visit friends at Llanfair Caereinion, a round trip of 60 miles, been up to the horses a couple of times, been to Llanuwchllyn at the other end of the lake, again a couple of times to get animal supplies and yesterday drove to Shrewsbury to have dinner at a rather nice Indian restaurant with an old friend of mine.

Yesterday was the only time that the car blotted its copybook. I got as far as Montford Bridge, when the car suddenly wouldn't idle. Being late, I pressed on to Shrewsbury, as it wasn't far. The engine was too hot to fiddle with, so my friend and I went for our meal. On returning later , I cleaned the jets and, as I was putting the float bowl back on, noticed that the car was loose on the manifold. A quick tighten and normal service was resumed. Drove the 50 miles home without further incident.

Gallavanting in the modern yesterday, and had the signwriter to the roller today, but I did just about manage to catch the 'Cheshire set' at the pub to deliver a gear lever this afternoon using my daughters RP. 

   

Sorry David, wasn't quick enough to take the line up including your RN

    Here's the missing RN Hedd, just done 70 miles on a repaired 22 FZ.

Today I did nothing with my Austin Seven, but signed a purchase agreement for another one.
Apparently I like Austins...

You're mad.....just like the rest of us!   Please may we have photos when you have taken delivery?

Since I acquired my AG tourer it has always been my ambition to take her to the monthly car meeting at "The Pub With No Name" and precisely one year later we made it.

Today I have been doing more wrestling with ruby electrics. The fuel guage today. It works but isn't calibrated right.

Changed the oil on the RP. It took exactly two litres of oil from empty to the full mark on the stick (I think another post is about oil levels in the sump). I just use Supermarket 20W-50 because I change it every 1000 miles.

I haven't topped the oil up since the last change (1000 miles) and it was about a pint short of full. I reckon that's not bad oil consumption - as most of you know my car isn't mollycoddled.
