Funny you mention that Peter. My advanced potential incident warning system was not with me then!

Went for a bimble round the lanes between Salisbury and Romsey. All rather like a trip in a time machine, no real evidence of the 21st century, just a classic car on roads unchanged since the 1920s when they were first surfaced. Didn't go very fast, mostly in 2nd and 3rd so the car sounded just about perfect: lots of pops and burbles on the overrun.... Driving into West Dean we came across the village Fete, lots of smiles and more than a few waves and a couple of "Nice Car" comments form the multitude. For us that is what Morgan ownership is about.

Technically speaking, I guess I have driven my Mog' today (in a future owner sorta mode)  That will have been at Williams? So which car is going to make space?

A perfect day?
Super weather in Huntingdonshire today so decided to take a trip to the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden. Not been there for ten years or more, even though it is only a short drive away. They do have some super bits of kit there which they make every effort to keep working, well worth a visit if you have not been there.
Came home via the B roads and stopped to pick up a few punnets of strawberry's from one of the many roadside stalls.
O.H. is working on baby pulling duties today so we were on a very late lunch. Put one on the Elinor fishery trout that I caught yesterday on to the BBQ and accompanied by some fresh Norfolk samphire, Jersey Royals and asparagus from the garden washed down with a glass or two of Pouilly Fume made a pretty good late lunch!
But best was to come, the roadside strawberry's were by far the best I have tasted in many years, and puts the imported ones to shame.
When you think about it, this is not such a bad place to live!

Well I don't think I can beat Scrambled's day, sounds a good 'un! I did take mine out for a blast, ended up in Burford, nice run. Apart from my oil cooler deciding to weep so I now have a very oily underside, oh well no rust there then! Did a quick bypass job to allow me to use the car without the cooler while I seek a replacement. Good weather for a run out though  and spotted 2 Morgans on the A48 for a quick wave. Steve
