Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Just STUNNING .

took me to pick up the mog y/day the oil temp gauge arrived at our home ( no charge ) from Speedograph I took it with us and they fitted it . I inspected the mog and it looks better than new ( as he said on the phone ) the bonnet fit like a glove everything is perfect they had cleaned everything engine, chassis and body . While chatting I purchased a bag of 36 microfibre dusters thicker than the Autogylm ones by a long way £25/- and a tub of hard wax that I can use on the chassis body and chrome . The idea is to apply it end of Sept leave it till spring and polish it off ( as advised by them ) it protects the car body . The garage use it as they store cars for work . Paid the bill NOT BAD in fact very good for all the work put in and I am not an easy task master I want 100% every time not 99% . Nothing was a problem to them NOT EVEN ME it restores my faith in people . Jumped in the mog and away had gone and left me with my other women as she calls the mog . Driving it home the oil temp took a while to show and then kicked in its still a bit stiff looks like a few rides and it will work in, it rose to about 60/5 ish . Stopped at the garage to fill up with BP ultimate ( no ethnol ) 97 octane . About 22.5 mpg but they have been trying to get the engine hot to check the temp gauge a few times so it's not the true mpg . not back before me so I took about 25 mixed photos of the engine the dash etc . Thought those lads in OZ will be happy now . arrived hungry out for a curry . On arriving home last night I wanted to test the lights , Ben Duncan had changed the bulbs , it's on with our flying jackets and off . By hell are they good , they lit up the road and the main beam could see for a very long way.
Home we both agreed our Flying jackets dont fit like they did when purchased in 1987 we have put on a few pounds here and their , we both felt like trussed up turkey's ( stick to my tankies ) . I went on the PC and again the memory stick contents just flashes up on the PC screen so fast I miss it . But not to worry I checked the camera and the batteries are flat . I have several of the garage floor one of my shoe one with the shakes trying to balance on a high bit in the garage . Out of 25 photo's about 3 look OK . So I am not going to be given the job of taking photo's for page 3 with my camera skills . The shine on the body just came out to bright and to orange in the photos then it dawned on me I had left my car cover at the garage so another trip down to pick it up . One lad who knows my car , he told me on the phone is taking his car their after seeing mine in the garage and been in over it . Just the interior to do and its complete , but that can wait till end of summer and me need some fun out of the mog first. I will sort out some photos but you will have to wait SORRY enjoyment comes first.
The chap at the garage is learning to be a concours judge and I gave him some tips and showed him some books he said one was heavy reading but good for learning the ropes.

Fantastic John. Enjoy it

Peter we will .

Jack,

Any idea which new bulbs they used?

Great to hear Jack.

After that wrap JTL I cant wait to see the photos. You mind those puddles full of dirty water while you are out enjoying your other

May your days be cloudless and mild

Ben Duncan gave me a plastic box with the old one's in . The box has Philips X-treme Power***** H4 12v60/55w and cost £28/59 for two bulbs . The chap doing the car set them up again after he took the head lights off . Made in Germany . Give Ben a shout when he is back at work . He has another week off doing his boat in dry dock.

As for the photos Graeme I have a cracker of 1/2 my shoe and a bit of the bumper , several of the flash bouncing off the body glaze , some of the garage floor and one of a fuzzy dash ( tried to balance on my rear bumper to take it ) Ask Steve I sent him some he was disgusted I think asked are these new photo's of the mog . I need Jnr to help so need to give her a few quid and grovel without her knowing why . ( typical dad )
