The weather forecast for Tuesday isn't nice: cold foggy then wet, so it will be hood up there and back, returning with a filthy car!!
But I'll sleep well!
More when we have the car here!

Enjoy your new car Peter; and as for Jason Plato - I have huge respect for him as a driver, but hey, there is no accounting for taste.

Well we are back, as posted elsewhere the return was through monsoon like rain.
Snug inside we were impervious to it all. The heater is powerful, and seems to be controllable. The screen de-mists in seconds and other than two small drops of water from the screen rail we were totally dry.
Of course all the work put in by the team at Williams to present us with a perfect car is now wasted: Tarka is filthy!
First impressions? The best 2 seather soft top I've driven. I have to disagree with Mr Plato: he doesn't "get" Morgans. I hate to think what he would say about a Plus 4....
We took some photos, will edit and post later.

Well done Peter, may you have a great new adventure together! I hope Aldermog founds a suitable new home, too.

So it's Tarka the muddy brown +8 then Peter?  Not to worry, easy enough to clean! Look forward to seeing the car wherever we next meet up...
