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

Went for a 60 miles round trip to Life's to get some of my oil drained and the hydraulic lifter additive put in, got the king pins greased at the same time. rather grey and overcast but quite warm 14C in the late afternoon. Sue came along for the ride, heading back the sun was setting and we had fun in the commuter traffic, quite a few surprised looks at our open air motoring. Heater is really effective even without the blower on, lights not so great, will have to eventually do something about that, just added to the list for now.

We enjoyed the trip out, wrapped up well against the cool weather, Matt noted that my engine was running quieter than when he first serviced it but louder than should be, so if the additive doesn't work, I'll get the tappets. lifters sorted next spring. Hopefully regular use and the additive will quieten them down further. Every dry Saturday so far we have done a 60 to100 mile round trip, stretching the car further than what it probably has ever, been already done 1200 miles or so since I purchased it in late August double it's annual mileage per year before its nearly 6 years of storage, the wet weather has kept us from using it more as I only go out with the hood down and no forecast rain, so the hood can stay down and we don't get wet. There's no fun in that.
Glad to be back in a Morgan again.
