Thanks, Akshay, that is very generous of you. I'm glad you enjoy the thread as much as we enjoyed the drive!

I wish as we all age we have the dignity, the passion, and the resilience that you demonstrated in your post. Thank you for being yourself and making the world a better place.

Three times. I've worked that to a nicety!

Thanks for your appreciation too. And you certainly have a nice Mridangam like name!

Goodness. It can take me more than that to get into bigger parking space!

This is one of the most interesting threads that I have read on team-bhp. It reads like a passionate love story with Swami and I really admire the relations that you both as a couple have - and the guts to go on a trip with Swami.
Reading about the fuel pump failure - I could never have the guts to go on a 700km trip on a vintage classic.

Swami, do you have a high quality photograph (500Kb or over) of the Austin 7 and some history ie, year, import date, previous owners etc ? I would like that to include in presentation of A7s abroad at the UK Centenary in July this year. I ma not so good at using Team BHP so if you could send that to my email nickbomayne@tiscali.co.uk it would be helpful
Hope you can help, Nick Mayne in the UK
