Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Where do Mogs go in Winter???

Been quiet on here for the last few days, innit? Let's get some discussion going!

The fast approaching winter will be my first with a Mog. Having made the most of the three months I've had my new Plus 4 it leaves me wondering what happens to them in Winter?

I guess mine will have limited use - but what of others? Are they tucked-up in a garage for the duration, used on a limited basis - or still used on a regular basis?

What will happen with yours??

Nothing better than a winter drive when the sun is shining

If it wasn't pouring down, I used to use mine (top down) and I'll treat the next one in the same manner.

It is too easy, imho, to create a museum piece which ends up going to the next owner in better condition than how you bought it. A fair few people have benefited from my garage-queen mentality in the past and I made a pact with myself to change that! A little salt, road grime and water isn't going to destroy these cars.

How about post up some pics of your new Mog for a start?

And if it still quite, I'll post up some pics of naked bird to stir up some controversy!!

Will still use as everyday transport. Can't have too much of a good thing! Will wimp out and switch to Scoobie if roads get a bit grim, but really enjoyed driving throughout the year.

Have completed winter outfit with a couple of silk scarves courtesy of eBay. All warm 'n snuggly now.

Mine will remain on the road all year long.. A Moggie is made for driving
Having received it last October (I still can't believe it... one year ago...), I made 5000 km until April. (all top-down, of course)

Sunny greetings from Luxembourg,

Do the scarves have wire coat-hangers inserted (a la Russ Abbott)????

Usually manage sufficient velocity to make wire inserts redundant...

Mine will be temporarily locked up when they start scattering salt on the road. Untill then : happy times!

Mine get's used all year round - not everyday, but rain or shine, it's racking up the miles. 7000 in the last year.

It's not a painting - it's a car. Get out and use it, that's what I say !

My new one comes with the hard top for the harshest winter driving. I would expext to do about 25,000 miles in the first year, perhaps 30,000 if I slow down the mileage on the Carver.
