A short journey to visit family with a quick photo stop to capture some autumn colours.
Bright and sunny on the way there but colder for the return trip.

Classic Mini's use the FS series too & don't tend to command inflated Morgan parts prices

Many thanks for posting the link to Bill`s tribute Brian. I got to know of Bill`s importance relative to Morgan importation to the US through the MSCC`s DG and eMog over quite a number of years, his work creating LPG fuelled Morgans in a work around ever increasing emission regulations and his MogVette design and build using a Corvette engine in a Trad Morgan... Seems there were many interesting pages in the book of Bills life, so sorry to read that it ended so soon.

I did not watch Tcherek`s tribute being too much of a softie and having read of it bringing tears to the eyes of some. I chatted back and forth with Tcherek over the years who was kind enough to post some pics of my European trips on her web site and even used a couple of my pics in the ISIS calendar over the years... Very much a Morgan family with a prominent member now missing, a great pity.

That sounds awfully like spending your young life wishing you were old!

While I remember voices very well but I am rather mediocre at face recognition, Diana could work as a cold case profiler for the police. I asked, who is that, in less than 0.1 seconds later she said without any effort, Peter, "you can see that immediately".

Cain is fitting the kit to Belle on Tuesday.

You only had to mention it and we could have put you up for the night, don't like to think of you missing the match and sleeping rough at Sandy park

After getting through several batteries bought from Halfords, I went for a Optima Red Top bought on eBay (new).

It has not let me down in 10 years.

One of the times the battery failed, I drove home from work perfectly fine. Stopped briefly at home, then when I jumped back in the car... Nothing.
Measured the battery, 2V. I suppose a cell's connection had failed.

I'm guessing that Morgans have a significantly different vibration profile to standard cars, and this causes frequent failures. So far, the spiral AGM battery has been perfect.

I always thought those headlights were an appalling design fault. Perhaps they would look better swapped and moved to the outside of the mudguards.

Thanks Graham. I'd been wondering about joining. Seems a better use for my "grey" pounds!

Hat's off to anyone who bought a sportster a stunning looking car, quite a few have been converted with screen and roof though.

I fitted brake reaction bars a couple weeks ago to ‘Morgie’ & can say that the front-end chassis/body ‘flex’ has virtually gone - not saying that the whole thing is now rigid though; that’s not the objective of fitting them, but, for this thread, it may help 🤷🏼‍♂️!

Richard. I asked Alis. As I suspected he sold plenty of them but never personally owned one.
