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

Part of it - not the Hockney exhibition - too late.

Just sat by old Titus's statue in the park.

Took a trip från Karlstad (my home town) to Karlskoga (nearby town) in order to visit Karlskoga Motorcafé Karlskoga Motorcafé with my BRG 4/4 from 1973. The only Morgan but a nice white Triumph TR3 parked beside me. Mostly US cars but a couple of old Volvos, Saab 96:s and Volkswagens. Perfect weather!

Worth a return visit and then on for a curry at Mumtaz Paan House at the top of Bradford

Just had a look at that Indian Stewart, its an impressive looking place.

Had to laugh at the celebrity comments - some indian restaurants have faded pics with the owner when a local or minor celeb drops by - this has among others David Cameron, Nick Clegg and George Osborne (fun table) Amir Khan, similar sounding James Caan and last but not least Her Majesty The Queen who commented "THE FOOD WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS DELIGHTFUL"

Imagine popping out for a Tikka and bumping into HRH Corgi under one arm take away in the other.

We first started going to Mumtaz around 22 years ago or so when I lived a bit closer in Skipton

It was pretty special then - there were only 6 Currys on the menu - all Karahis and you chose your portion by the weight of meat or vegetables and then chose either Mild, medium or hot

It was a much smaller restaurant then but still probably the best in Bradford - every table had its own telephone and we often saw Bollywood stars eating there after a Bradford premier

It was also the first place to serve mango lassi, which is a firm favourite in our house

Unfortunately we don't get over that often now as we live much further away in West Lancashire and a few of our friends don't like the strict alcohol free dining but it's always top quality and a great friendly atmosphere

Over the years there are quite a few other very good Kashmir restaurants in Bradford that have emerged and are as or even more popular (probably because they serve alcohol) but Mumtaz for me is still the best

Apparently, the Duke of Edinburgh commented

"Can't stand the punkawallah poo, give me a kebab any day" but they no longer use that on the website.

Nice 500 miles in the last 2 days roof down all the way well back to work now

Yeucky traffic on A303 between Podimore and Sparkford on the way home, the Roadster is one hot beasty, it did however enjoy stretching its legs and getting some much needed air through the radiator on the dual carriageway after Sparkford, much to the annoyance of the cars who'd previously decided to get to the ahead of the 2:1 section after Podimore! A few dead bodies for the wasps to chew on I can tell you.

Drive over to Allon White for annual service and MOT

Nice surprise on arrival was to find that our courtesy car was not the Mini but the M3W demonstrator.

Two big plusses, not having to spend several hours in Milton Keynes shopping (as have no room to put anything) and have a few hours trekking round Bedfordshires roads in a 3 wheeler.

would not choose to buy a M3W but great fun to have the use of for a day.

Wow , how many courtesy cars are that crazy !
