Every time I go to a sprint and see these trundling around I want one, they may not be that fast but do look very enjoyable.

It must be the non existent brakes, wonderfully imprecise steering and lack of power I guess!

'Fast' is not the word - I was driving on the A140 to Norwich a month or so back, and there was an Austin 7 coming the opposite way... he
must have had 50 cars and 20 HGVs lined up behind him! Not the most popular car on the road - many tractors are faster these days!
Still like to own a decent Austin 7 though...

My 3.5 Ton high top Transhit (75 bhp) towing a race Shuttle across the country probably isn't as fast as that.... particularly in last weekends
headwinds!

Those were the days when actually getting to the top of a hillclimb could be an achievement, never mind the time it took!
Love the idea of an Ulster rep or a single seater, though... both of which are surprisingly brisk.

It has always been touch and go for this year but it looks (fingers crossed) it will make it. I have a sizable list to get through to make it reliable
enough. Thanks for the encouragement.
