As mentioned in another post the Morgan formerly known as TWP is now resting in a Paris hotel garage after the long run from Vienna to LMC. My co-pilot for that trip, an old aussie motor sport mate, is now slumming it in Paris with his wife. Some of you met Rob at LMC. On Thursday they will head for the UK via Calais and to a cottage in the Cotswolds in order to be at Prescott for the 80th anniversary and Bugatti festival this coming weekend.
If you spot that well worn white Mog (I don't think there'll be many with Vienna plates) please speak strine rather than Wienerish to Rob and Barbara.
After Prescott they will spend a couple of weeks touring in the UK before leaving the morgan at Techniques for a service. I will fly over around the end of July and drive it back to Vienna. So yes, a few more episodes of this travelogue still to come.
I'm writing this to encourage talkmoggers who happens to be at Prescott to make two special people welcome on their first trip to Europe. I know you would in any case but an introduction always helps.
As a conversation starter here are a couple of pics of Rob's current main motor racing mount - a famous Australian special known as The Day Special. The first image is the car being raced by Jack (Gelignite) Murray at Bathurst in 1950 and the second is one I took of Rob racing at Winton Historic this May. Here's to mateship and motor sport.
