New Aero Coupe - Pickup

I got it yesterday from Ledgerwoods. Had a good drive. Gone into temporary hibernation through the cold spell.

The bonnet on my new M3W is such a pain to take on and off I bought a CTEK CTE-MXS5.0 5A 12V Car Battery Charger together with a CTEK CTE-56263 CTEK Cigarette Lighter Connector Adaptor that plugs straight into the ciggie lighter socket. You have to buy the two bits separately. The charger's very light and compact and seems to work a treat. I leave it plugged in all the time the car is in the garage. cheers

I'll go to the Marina but stay on the west side. I was once attacked on the east side by council employees in a street sweeper. That was about 2002. Was taking photos with two mates. They all shouted abuse, and one threw a beer bottle at us, and another one spat. They were perfect representatives for the city council actually. Have you ever seen Stephen Brady? God help us all.

Having prized open 4/4 and Roadster bonnets for a few years I found the Aero in another league. I tried to dismantle and adjust, but the spring was seriously strong and it made no difference.
Solution I found,
Technique, for kerbside bonnet, left hand wrapped in hankerchief and pressure to the lower and inside part of the thumb. Very important is right hand pulling under bonnet just to right of catch, this helps get the catch clear.
The reverse for the other side.
I also have my conditioner continuously running day and night. The Aero can run down in 3 days.

Beautiful car. I think the Aero Coupe is a stunning car. In fact, I prefer the sleeker appearance of the coupe to the targa-roofed Super Sports.

Very nice DMJ.

My battery conditioner is on it most of the time.

Do drive it every week even if only for a short distance (20 miles to warm it through and keep everything lubricated) in truth this has nothing to do with the car and everything to do with nourishment for the soul.

Expect a lot of attention but the good news is that they will all be looking at the car and only look for the owner afterwards and by that time you will be long gone up the road. Alow double the time to fill up at every garage cheers


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
