David

Enjoy your new car.

Regarding running in I was advised the same when I took delivery of a new Aeromax for a friend. In spite of this IMHO can't imagine it would do any harm to be moderate with right foot for first 1000 miles.

Cheers

The problem I've found is getting the roof cover on, nearly have to sit on the folded roof in order to clip the cover down.

Now answer truthfully. How many trips have you made to the garage to check that its okay. thumbs

Ha!

I've seen you - you followed a spiky blue Land Rover 90 along Suffolk Road this afternoon, then passed it on Westal Green 'roundabout' just before 16:00 thumbs

Looks really good!

Cheers,

I remember from owning a Morgan before that you can't move around town discretely! I was certainly around that part of town at that time so probably was me.

Not many opportunities to take it out over the last couple of weeks but I have to say I'm enjoying it more and more. Quite different from the Plus 8. Have already discovered how to adjust the roof to stop it leaking. Which is novel because the Plus 8 just leaked!

Thanks Graham

David

If you were there then I'm stating the obvious but I didn't make the noggin on 28th and was just wondering whether there were any "local" noggins in the New Year.

David cheers
