I am also going out, but only in the Morgan. Dominic Rabb clarified this morning on BBC one around 07:40 that there is no restriction to the amount you can drive with the exception of going into the devolved areas. Not times for violins or hearts and flowers statement but I’ve just had an absolute dermot 12 months and six months of treatment to buy me a little extra time (we are talking a few years three maybe five) and I have no intention whatsoever of missing the opportunity to not use every day to its maximum.
I bought this car in celebration of a better medical prognosis last October and apart from one pub lunch and again out to put tyres on it its stood unused in the garage that will change this week when, probably on Thursday, I shall fire her up and go for a drive I will be on my own in the car and I may meet up with another Morgan owner we will sit in our cars with a flask and chat at least 6 feet apart we will be parked up in a country side car park that at the moment is closed but as there is no barrier we will park in a corner and if anybody else comes close we will drive off I don’t think it’s irresponsible I think it conforms with the guidance and it’s my choice to do it.
Everyone must make their own choice but I do love the posting from somebody who put up something that said don’t count the days make the days count.
BR save miles to everyone.

Well I sincerely hope you have a great drive out after the torrid year you have had and totally understand your viewpoint, besides it's only right that someone that has put so much enjoyment back into other peoples Morganing by way of king pins etc and regaling us with your funny previous motoring adventures that we have all enjoyed gets to put the pedal to the metal in a safe manner
That is so kind, thank you. Wiser heads (mates not SWMBO) have prevailed and pointed out that as I am in the extremely vulnerable group it’s rather unwise. I have listened and so will bow to wiser heads and maybe, just maybe, go for a 20 mile local drive as we are a few miles from countryside instead of the planned 160 mile round trip to Rutland Water along mostly B roads. That will be saved for when BoJo gives the thumbs up. After all the NHS has done for me it really would be rather insulting I think to abuse their kindness. So, maybe a 45 min run out on old stomping grounds I haven’t seen for 40 years. Maybe another book started, maybe another day in the garden. Not under any rush. ;-).
Thanks Again! Colin
Good man Colin, sometimes we have to listen you must let us know how good it feels to get out there and give it a go after such a patient wait with your new car, you are going to drink in every second in great gulps
