What a kind welcome from all over the world. Thank you. You’re a great crowd. TM is another advantage of owning a Morgan. I look forward to joining in. I’ll answer your questions, please excuse me for not mentioning you by name.
We lived off the Guarlford Road and the children went to school in Pickersleigh Road. You are right about most workers walking to work, although the woman I knew lived in a lovely remote cottage and used a moped. Cycling is hard work in Malvern.
I’ll post a picture when I have learnt how to do it.
Ref. changing life (wife). She’s canny, the car’s in her name!
I’m not sure what to make of girls who wear false eyelashes. Are they reliable?
I’d not thought of the headlight rim being over sized, but I think it is the answer, when I tighten the fixing screw the rim pops off the plastic mounting ring. The idea of a neoprene strip is the answer, as is the idea of marking where the screw fits before you put the rim back on! The car is a 2013/14 model Plus 4. It’s coming up to the end of warranty so I will take it up with the dealer, but it may be easier to sort it myself. All part of the fun!
I’m not against using the car in the wet, but as members in Wales will know, it has not stopped raining here for weeks and the mix of mud and sheep and cow dung on the roads here makes the best adhesive paste I know of. It’s very difficult to get off when dry and leaves a yellow stain. Maybe someone has a special technique for removing **it?
I will tell you of our experience coming back to Calais for the Channel Tunnel earlier this year. We came down onto the dual carriageway leading to the port straight into a traffic jam of mostly lorries. We were immediately surrounded by dozens of migrants, one of which jumped on our luggage rack. Fortunately the traffic moved and he came off as I pulled sharply away. They tell you to keep your doors locked and windows up, but this does not help much in a Morgan. We had the hood down and felt very vulnerable. Fortunately no damage was done, the rack and mountings are quite sturdy. Would immigration have missed someone sitting on the luggage rack I wonder?
Thank you all again for your welcome.
