Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) So, have you driven your Morgan today?

Eleven hours in the saddle albeit on nice green Morgan leather. Helen and me did not arrive at Castellane until 4.30 pm both damp and exhausted. (420 miles approx)
Four years since we came here last, and all is well, with a friendly welcome at the gate.
We started out from Chioggia at 5.30am hoping to get the leg completed by early afternoon but Padua once again set us a problem, due to a couple of missed turns. Verona, Brescia, Milan, Tortona and Genoa were later passed without incident along the autoroutes. The coastal E80 was jammed due to an accident causing a wait for clearance. This section has notoriously expensive service stations best avoided.
Heading north onto the Route Napoleon and through Grasse the weather closed in and soon the drive became an obstacle course avoiding standing and flooding water.
Most of the motorcyclists normally riding this way were seen to be holed up in the roadside cafes. Lightning flashed and vision became a problem slowing down the pace. The cabin stayed reasonably dry, since neoprene strips were fitted to the side screen edges, and door jams closest to the windscreen.
On startup earlier it was noticed that the orange fault light had self cancelled. Came on descending the high road earlier in the week, presumed due to long descent. Also seen to right itself has been the mileometer trip LCD. Prolonged warmth beneath the dash seems to have dried out moisture from a previous washer tube leak long since fixed.
