I continue to use my aero on a regular basis. One long 600 plus mile trip this year, weekend use to a restaurant or golf course on a nice day.For a car I bought as a semi investment toy I am amazed how much the car has grown on me.It is not unusual to take it on little runs to the market...all for me if the weather is good. After every second drive its usually washed, towel dried and put up with a cover.I consider mine a driving machine that is treated like a trailer queen, just with lots of use.Fluids, oil checked, lights, tire pressure... checked every other time out.
How do others use their Morgans, some here track their machines,some it looks like take spirited drives to destinations with great roadways and views, some might drive every day. How different do we treat our Morgans, both the new ones and the old...One hundred years of passionate Morgan owners all, but do we view our Morgans different?

Garaged but in regular use having done 15000km since I bought her 18 months ago. Most recent long trip being 3400km for the Centenary and next long trip will be North Cape in Norway next June (now that will be a challenge for packing!)
Shooter, I'm not going to the St Tropez meet but if a night stop in Toulouse is convenient for you, just pm me.
Cheers

Car is used evenings, weekends and holidays. Car is garaged, and I'll probably manage 6000-9000 miles in a year.
So far with elTango I've covered 3000 miles in 6 weeks, including the trip to Italy and back.
I should probably buy LHD next time around as I seem to spend a good chunk of my miles on the continent...
