Driving past cars and vans off road in ditches as I sailed past was very informative but what was humbling was around Milton Keynes as I was cosy with my easy up hood and heater working nicely when coming in the opposite direction hood down and only flying helmet for protection was another Morgan. No idea who he was but my feeling of bravado and superiority evaporated instantly, although the wave of acknowledgement helped a little.


About 2 winters ago I had taken the Sport on the commute 45mls to Exeter on a fabulously crisp morning roofless a great journey. However at around 1600 they were forecasting snow for Exeter(roof on) so at about 1700 I departed and by the time it took to do the 5mls from the office to Haldon Hill the police had closed it and it remained closed for about 4 hours. There was only about 3" of soft snow and the Sport had been very predictable in it's handling but the normal idiots had ensured that no one else could get through by blocking every lane. This was the event that got National TV coverage at the time. It was plenty warm enough in the car too.
The main pita was various line managers calling up to ensure you were o.k. about every 20 Mins. I let my wife know where I was as dinner would be a bit late for us and a few updates during the evening.

I have been known to venture up on Dartmoor to enjoy a topless crisp picturesque scene of freshly fallen snow and have photographs on Faceache of this shared with other Morgan Groups in Europe where they do similar in Switzerland and Germany. As long as you are reasonable with the right foot they are predictable and useable in all weathers IMHO.
