Hi John,
I live in Douglas, Cork, about 10 mins from Cork city centre. I drive 1992 Plus 8, owned since Feb this year. I have done a few trips down around west Cork but not as far a s Bantry yet. Really, roads are variable to say the least, usually the worse the more you go of the beaten track. If your like me, you tend to just grit your teeth and grin and bear it when you come across the bad stretches. But its prob no worse than my drive back from Stafford, through Stratford upon Avon, over to Malvern for the factory tour (Wonderful experience), down to the Cotswolds and of to the ferry In Rosslare and Road to Cork for home. Let me know if and when you are coming, I would love to meet up with a fellow enthusiast, there are not too many Morgan owners locally. All the best,
Barry
