It's a hell of a journey, Ive been following with great interest

That diversion into the stadium for the presentation sounded bizarre, it's a pity there weren't more photos - I couldn't really visualise it

Terrible news about the oil pump and the engine, hopefully they can get Fraya back on track

I love their eternal optimism even in the face of problems and obstacles which would break the spirit of lesser mortals!
Let's hope they get the new engine on Tuesday and rejoin the fray.

Totally agree


A real Morgan adventure, the frustrations I am sure will all be worth it!

Is it the spirit of Scott of the Antarctic, Shackleton, Lindbergh, Kingsford-Smith, Earhart and others which keeps us glued to the blog? And having written that, of course! The spirit of Amundsen! which inspires them.

I watched too late last night. Just got up in NW US. My Canadian Morgan friends driving a 1927 Nash reached their destination. Morgan #59 is on the outskirts of Moscow. What a Pity. But it will be a great satisfaction to just finish the race. If the engine or part is available. They may be able to catch up.

The Norwegian Morgan has arrived at its destination in Lithuania. If they can transplant the engine in a day, it looks like they might rejoin the Rally in Minsk. Or there about.

I'm betting those Norsemen can change a Morgan engine in less than a day. Smart + tough = capable.

It's going to be some accomplishment if they can do it - it's come straight out of a TR4
