Yet another amazing weekend away with the Scottish Club.

Eldest Daughter and I spent our annual "weekend away from mother and the twins" in the Ulster, it was braw!

Lovely drive, brum, brummm...



Richard's lovely 65 going well after half shaft snapped and we put a wheel nut in to lock the diff, steering struggle for 50 miles at least



Caught up with the others at last...



Back at camp we deal with the broken shaft...







I recognise that increasing forehead somewhere...



Lovely pair...



An hour and half after starting it was all fixed and Richard was so pleased he decided to stay another night.

We like to use Aston Martin crankshafts as Barbecue stands up here, because we can!





Ford fun...





Selfie!



Rupert's Rat-Ruby (see: http://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2099944454&frmid=5&msgid=973287&cmd=show ) excelled itself four up plus camping luggage









Gillingham Castle was awesome...

Taking half the axle off to change a halfshaft?. Thats my kind of mechanicing!

Absolutely superb,

Another excellent post Ruairidh

I should be putting a post up from the South Wales Bryngarw weekend but we arrived a bit late for the run and my oil gauge had decided to vibrate wildly (turned out to be the gauge not a blockage) AND it was throwing it down. Still 8 or 9 cars did a tour of the lanes with ice cream or tea on Porthcawl front.

All good fun!
One day I will have to organise 'my' Borders Raid for the PWA7C to rendezvous with the SA7C Borders Raid?

Great posting.
Looks like great fun, jealous I was not there.

Yes - a truly memorable weekend for me as a first timer with the ScA7C, blown away by the warmth of a welcome which gives real meaning to the term 'Austin Seven Friends' - plus sheer amazement (not to mention gratitude) at the speed and efficiency of replacing my broken halfshaft...cutting edge (sorry) mechanics led by Ruairidh, Neil and team, lightened of course by a stream of quick wit, repartee - and sheer ribaldry! The 65 blew home the 100 miles from Chillingham Castle - job's a real good'un. Now I just have to locate 6ft pole to tweak those hub nuts...Thanks to all again - I'll be back for sure!

such great company and camaradie up there that this time I went up in my campervan without my box saloon to socialise and sampled the delights of being driven around in Richard Arkells type 65 and Rupert Pughs ratty Ruby. Tremendous fun and thanks to all concerned and Neil and Andrea for organising.

hi howard,

rain at the welsh, are you sure

nice one R

the first time tracy came to guildtown with me, she pointed out how you shook everyones hand as they came onto the field. sometimes even getting into a jog across the field to welcome people.

i hadnt noticed this before, being a bit slow.

but a worm welcome, and enthusiasm. makes a good rally.
