Welcome home...
India beckons me again, it will be the 4th trip in 2 years.
I have had a love/hate relationship with that country ever since my first visit in 1994. A bit like Morgan, some wonderful details, some great people but they don't quite get it together. But they will, I'm confident.

+1. Never had Delhi belly but go 4 times a year to get a sense of reality.
When Europeans bitch about being poor they have no idea.
Truly an unusual place to visit.

I too never suffered from the food but I resorted to trying to eat mainly in the hotel and stick with very sensible foods. I had to eat out several times but was sort of picky. Never a problem thank goodness. I did start to enjoy Kingfisher Beer though, even though I know it's not that good. Delhi x 3, Bangalore x 6 and Agra x 1. The first few trips were exotic but then the facade wore away and the poverty was so evident. I found the people wonderful, but would never take a woman into that world.
Cheers,
Mark

Took Milligoon over to collect his repaired roadster: seems it was a cable fault.
I didn't stroke a spanniel, didin't buy anything and returned!
Cold run over, thankful for my heated waistcoat, cloud on the A46 between Bath and the M4.
The return was perfect, came back via Old Sodbury, Castle Coombe, Chippenham Devises and home. The Sat Nav never sets this as a rute but it is the most traffic free and predictable.
Home for Lunch!!

Return trip to Williams to meet up with Cain. There's a lovely Europa in the back of the workshops - which have grown a lot since I was last there a few months ago! Inspected sample of Cain's new front spoiler - I am impressed, it is a very nice piece of work... Now to get the bumper off and do some measuring (except  wants to go out tomorrow...).

What time were you and Cain there? I arrived at 10:45 and left at just before 12. It would have been good to both meet and see Cains new spoiler/valence.

Cain is confined to barracks (Shed) now until I get my valance.
I had a great short coastal run yesterday with my 80 year old Dad who was difficult to load and unload.
More runs today and then longer ones Monday and Tuesday to plan to arrive for first service at 1000 miles. Panhard rod and brake reaction bars ready to fit.
Loving 4/4 driving.

The Morgan Owners Club of Australia Club run in Sydney. 14 Morgans and few tin tops set of at 10am from Berowra just north of the city heading further north to Norah Head on the central coast for a picnic lunch. The run went via the Old Pacific Highway and the back streets of Toukley with a planned morning tea stop. The usual Sunday traffic but with rather more bikes (motor and push) than you would like. For me a 344K trip door to door in magnificent spring weather - not a cloud and 21 degrees.
