'Mobile Performance Aids plc' is delighted to announce the launch of a new range of in-car organ relief accessories for the older Seven driver, comprising:

 

1. Model 3400XL - Carbon fibre colostomy bag, 2 litre capacity and with an easy to fit bracket. Attaches discreetly to the two windscreen bracket bolts and includes 1.5 metres of Aeroquip hose and universal nozzle. Weighs only 1.3 Kg (when empty). Normally m ounted inside the cockpit but exhibitionists may prefer to bolt it to the outside. £125.50 inc P&P.

 

2. 3400 CT - Optional catch tank for the above, for extended touring and use at speed events during moments of extreme excitement. £35.00 inc P&P.

 

3. SL250 - Light alloy slipper rack, takes two pairs and fits inside boot. Includes a novel heating element to avoid those nasty shocks to the foot when changing shoes after a cold blat. £15.00 inc P&P.

 

4. CSL200 - 'Pee-Wee' touring bladder relief unit, includes 5 litre ali tank for under-bonnet mounting and 3 metres of rot-proof silcon piping. Incorporates a unique one-way valve to stop backflow on heavy acceleration. £195.00 inc P&P.

 

5. WS10 - walking stick rack, takes up to 5 sticks and clips neatly across the FIA bar using velcro straps. £22.00 inc P&P.

 

Speaking at a Press Launch at Eastbourne Conservative Club on Tuesday, CEO Henry Smith said "These new products will be welcomed by all drivers over 40 of performance cars and at last open up the possibility of journeys of over 10 miles without the worry of leakage or embarrassment. The old company adage of 'Just Do It - anywhere' is totally appropriate."

 

Mr Smith also paid tribute to a 'Mr Noger' who unselfishly carried out most of the early research work into the frustrations, needs and driving speed characteristics of older Seven owners. Without his araldite and unbiased observations, Mr Smith added, the product range would simply not have been developed. Older Seven owners are encouraged to thank Mr Noger personally when they next meet him at a club event.

 

A discount of 10% has been negotiated for Seven club members on production of a home heating allowance voucher or Senior Rail card.

 

Cheering up your weekend. 😬 😬 😬

Not sure about residual values and the second hand market though.

 

From a saga sevener who has no need of such things. No carpets in the car and the aly lets liquids through the holes in the floor

Yes, the slipper rack can be attached to the roll bar using qty 2 p/n 2012459 titanium U-bolts. Of course there will be a slight increase in drag (but who'll notice?) and any odours and moisture will soon leave the slippers.

 

Do be careful though - the slippers attach to the rack with Velcro-backed webbing straps and have been know to rip undone over 100mph. On a recent French tour, a farm worker innocently cycling home on the N23 was hit full chest with a size 11tartan left slipper and broke three ribs.

Early models did have a priming pump (to avoid problems with air locks) but after a couple of nasty incidents (the Korean manufactured pump had been spec'd at 4 Bar instead of .4 Bar - a typo) we decided to remove the priming facility. Both Seven oweners are recovering well with their replacement bladders and hope to be driving again soon.

 

Instead, priming is achieved by parking the car on a steep downward incline, having a good leak and then quickly locking the one-way tap shut when overspill starts. Not difficult but can be messy. Best to keep some towelling to hand.
