About this time last year I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a congenital eye condition which causes blindness in many. Luckily the condition had only affected my peripheral vision but the doctor was uncertain if it would continue to deteriorate. Obviously if it did at some point I would be unable to meet the medical requirements of the driving licence (130 degrees I think). So I was very apprehensive going to the hospital this morning. I'm very relieved that there has been no further deterioration and I only need to have things monitored again next year. So to celebrate as soon as the eye drops wear off I'm out for a blast in the Morgan with  and we plan a meal of dressed crab new potatoes and salad washed down by Malvern's finest. No not that one but a bottle of Promenades from Elgar wines I picked up at the last Thrill On The Hill. Seems I'm mobile for at least another twelve months!  Andy

That's great news Andy! Tell me a secret. How on earth did you manage to hang on to that bottle of wine for nearly a year?

He was a mate in Newcastle William Power in the 1980s and early 90s . He had a dark green +4 2L Fiat engine .Loved the ladies even though he was married used to go down to London in it just to see a girl and often slept in the mog in a LONDON street . I spoke to one lad who bought his mog a few years ago via a garage and while working on it he told me a small book fell out from behind the dash . It had many ladies names address and phone numbers in it. By did he live up to his name . I once chased him over a hump bridge and pulled my rear reg plate off the mog . HAPPY DAYS two silly b*ggers with mogs enjoying life .
