Sorry to read of your back issues, I suffered sore backs for many many years due to digging, lifting and shifting building materials and much else, strange to type that having given up all that nonsense since just before Covid, my back is without pain thus I can enjoy my Morgan more than I did but a few years back...
Jeez that seems to have been an epic journey home, hood up in the rain is not much fun in a Morgan, it would have been a rather noisy experience and for six hours....Hope your "new" Morgan works out wonderfully well for you.
BTW some of us enjoy pics of dirty Morgans too... (-:
