Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) So, have you driven your Morgan today?

I was at a T-junction, hood down of course, in the Ludlow area when the driver of a lovely Aston Martin DB7 Vantage wound down his window and gave a thumbs up for the Mog. I glowed with pride

A man of taste

Spent a couple of nights at Buckland Manor in the Cotswolds and have driven a couple of hundred mile touring the area and over in the Forest of Dean. Some great driving top down and not too crowded. The hotel was excellent and the Morgan much admired by other guests including a chap from Chicago who seemed a bit of an anglophile.

Didn't see any other Morgans whilst driving in the Cotswolds or the Forest but MGs seemed out in force and we got several friendly waves. Also met a group of four in a pub (I was there for an orange juice of course) who were drving a beautiful vintage tourer which looked much like a twenties Vauxhall. It was in fact a Canadian built motor with a name a bit like Darrant, sorry but the Orange juice affected my medium term memory so not very confident on the name.

Coming home today visited Batsford Arboretum which was superb in the warm sunshine. On return to the car park saw a very well presented beige plus4 with tan upholstery (MX12 FDE). Drove home along the beautifully uncrowded Fosse Way and saw coming the other way a red trad south of Brinklow and just north a dark green trad. Friendly Morgan waves from both.

A smashing couple of days. The sunshine has some power now so I'm looking a bit like a brandy ball.

Yes you do feel good a topless Mx 5 driver gave me the thumbs up the other day not quite the quality of the Aston but hey who's counting.

St tropez under the sun

Yes Seaton under the sun, a blast to Beer around the lanes, had the usual BMW hound, his jaw dropped when I left him on a straight and overtook two cars.

We did a 260 miler today,left pembrokeshire early breakfast in the biker cafe in Llandovery where the men in blue were handing out hundered quid fines for small number plates.Brecon then back over the Crai resevoir and black mountains to Mumbles for an ice cream, we then followed the gower coast(Bad move what was i thinking on a bank holiday) home.Lots of Mx5s out today and a rake of bikes ,on arrival at St C lears a ten mile nose to tail going the other way made up for the Gower fiasco.A great days driveing in the Mog with burnt noses.......

Should have put sun cream on the cowl.

Bob.You Know when your nose is burnt that youve had a good day in the Mog.

Em. Only joking. But, do you need your nose burnt to know that?
