PAGES FROM THE DIARY OF AN AUSTIN OWNER PAGE 5. A delightful run up to Waikari and back yesterday with Madeline, and the two children, Bob and his wife accompanying us with their sidecar outfit... The "Seven", behaved splendidly, the outward journey taking only two hours and ten minutes for the 53 miles (including 35 minutes for lunch) and accounting fcr less than a gallon of petrol.. Glorious weather going up but after twenty miles of the homeward trip, we ran into steady and continuous rain. With our all-weather equipment we were perfectly dry and happy, but I'm afraid the sidecar party had a pretty thorough soaking. I really can't imagine why a man remains a motorcyclist, when real motoring costs so little more. And I think Bob himself is beginning to wonder. r^J BRITISH BUILT. TIGER 7 H.P. j^r TOURER £185.
