The last drive of the year. Met up with Steve ( Stringers Best Mate) at Wellesbourne Airfield Cafe for a bite to eat and a natter. Glorious weather and getting pretty cold on the late afternoon drive home! Were the Cibies a bit heavy John ? One needed a slight bit of fettling....they will be back on shortly!

Jays would you happen to know if the factory shop is open today? Thinking of popping over.

Yes they are...and tomorrow too. Friday is the last day before the Christmas factory shutdown and the shop will be open in the morning.

I am excited to drive my new car anywhere ! Having waited a week to get my new private number plate registered (4 weeks from DVLA ) MY10MOG eventually gave up and asked Willuams to register last week on 66 number plates .Unfortunately that coincided with the Morgan registration system being hit with a virus and out of order for 5 days .So eventually they transported it to me on Tuesday .Dry sunny day for an initial drive .I mastered the 1st 2 high speed bumps in 1st gear v slowly.Bit jerky or sped off in 1st but what a lovely noise the Plus4 makes .Worked out moving the mohair flaps from above the window to close properly..Need to strengthen left leg for clutch pressing .
Unfortunately bit cocky on return as hit 2nd speed bump in 2nd gear. followed by crunch !
Work finished now so tomorrow need to go anywhere but avoid Xmas panic !!!
Did just sneak into garage just to start it up ..ha,ha

I couldn't resist the dryish sunny day. Nice & warm for Xmas eve at 8 c. Did a circuit of the Chilterns past Chequers where the security was out. Great fun.

Drove down to the Ford dealer to look at the Mustang GT.
Less than £40K for the fully specified 5.0L.
Surprised by the fit and finish..better than a Tesla I looked at.
Delivery......9 to 10 months!
Tempting....
Now I have to wash Tarka...roads damp.

You see...EVO was right...you were considering a Tesla! Mind you there's a hell of a difference between that and a Mustang.
