Congrats on picking up your Mog at last, Graham. At least we'll have more parking for Saturday's BHM breakfast club.  Are you gonna keep the Hiopmog badge - just to remind you where you bought the car? 
Regards

Previous owner may want the badges back. If not I'll keep them, but unlikely they'll be displayed on the front of the car. The badge bar fitted is a wide version, pushing the drive lamps out of position. So, I'll be fitting my old bar from RTA, which is narrower. I might seek a rear bar though . There were a couple of badges at Tetbury Classic Car Show last weekend that I was interested in (RNLI & National Trust) but the seller wanted too much money... Cheers,

Happy Happy Days Graham, She looks fab.  Brings back many memories of old 'Lellow'  . Now all of your days will be 'Sunny Ones'.  Sorry you cant bring her to Brooklands Morgans day on the 6th Oct. (I Know you will be 'Prescotting')

Superb Graham - love it in that bright yellow I wish you many happy miles behind the wheel and in spite of having to let a Morgan go, this is sure to be a wonderful replacement.

Thanks everyone! Yes Simon, for the last 4 weeks after I let RTA go, I had serious doubts whether I was doing the right thing, but this new one, on the 153 mile drive home (just a minor detour  ) has proven to be a revelation. Better seating, tauter feel, suspension is right - no nodding dog found yet - just more comfortable (apart from the transmission tunnel and narrow footwell). I will have to relearn how to extricate myself though, levering on the back of the banch seat with left arm/elbow doesn't work when all one can find is the gap between two seats  Cheers,

That benchseat on RTA was good. I am sure you will enjoy the zetec though.

Oh yes. Makes for an interesting drive - I can overtake more than pushbikes and tractors now

Belated congratulations Graham; I've been without an internet connection since saturday, so I'm behind on all the news.
The car looks great, I'm sure you'll have loads of fun in it. Brings to mind Donovan's song Mellow Yellow.
