Hi all,

Although I live in Herne Bay I have only just heard about this group from DLM. Have been messing about with old cars and bikes almost since time began. My current stable consists of a 1932 Austin 10/4, a 1937 Austin 7 Special I built myself and an Austin Healey Sprite I restored about five years ago. I also have a 1939 600cc Ariel Sq 4 which I no longer have the bottle to ride.

Don.

Welcome to the site! Sounds like you have quite a few nice cars!
Would be cool to see some pictures of them!
Will you be popping along to our next meet? 2nd November?


Thanks for joining,

Lee

Hi Don welcome over mate

Didn't realise you had a Square four, My uncle had one with sidecar.
He never had a car licence as he suffered a bit from claustrafobia, he tried a three pin plug AKA PLastic pig, but that didn't last long.
I'll sort the photos I took of the combo.
Hadn't been used for about 18 months, health reasons, but it fired first kick, and he was only about 7 stone by then.

That was in the early 70's and I believe it's still in the family.

If I can get the banana (DLM) down to the Christmas cruise we'll have to meet.

Have a tonneau and a hood and frames for the special. A local guy made them for me. I rarely use the hood because it's claustrophobic and makes it difficult to see traffic lights change when I'm first in the queue. The windscreen is detatchable by four 1/4" screws but I have been meaning to make a fold-flat mechanism for years now. Having this many vehicles is hard work for me these days.
