I haven't done anything in my austin seven today, but I really wish I had driven it and not the modern, currently stranded at the roadside with a puncture and no spare wheel.
That's progress.

Hi Howard, yes, it was a great afternoon run around Porthcawl. Then back to Harry's house for drinks, and mince pies. Happy Birthday Harry. S&P

Decided to go to the supermarket in the Seven where I could run rings round the big moderns and always find a parking place.

I collected my radius arms from being straightened and repaired. Rather pleased with them and once painted, that will be another part ready to fit once reassembly of the chassis can start.

Ivor, you are braver than I.
After getting the modern back on the road, after six weeks waiting for bits, I had the Seven off the road for a bit of tlc and to put new brushes in the dynamo. No sooner than I had done that, the modern blotted it’s copybook again.
I was intending to press the Seven back into service, but the weather up here has been so horrible for the last couple of days - rain accompanied by howling gales, I haven’t dared take it out! Definitely Landrover weather.
