All boys are away this weekend preparing William's 1929 Austin Ulster for the VSCC Loton Park weekend in 2 weeks time. I decided to have a sneak drive in The Sanglier after Olivers improvements during the past week...........and what a fantastic drive. This Mors is so much more "civilised" than the big 10 litre Austin. It was the local monthly VSCC evening meeting in a pub 15 miles away so set off at 8pm and the car was absolutly fantastic. It must be a lot lighter than the Austin and I reckon more usable power. Gearbox wonderful, pull it straight through on the upchange, really quick, almost Bugatti. Once in top seems to tick along at very high speed and low revs.
Anyway reach the pub in fine style and MY GOD........NO BEER ! Enterprise Inns have cocked up the licence application and whats more...........Same situation at our local pub too: The White Horse at Sutton. NOT ALLOWED TO SERVE ALCOHOL.
Returned quite quickly and managed to get a swift pint at the Welldiggers where the car was very much appreciated. The whole pub turned out to see my departure into the gloaming. The single central headlight causing a yellow glow on the hedgrows back to Bigenor.
Apart from the lack of beer a wonderful evening.
