Vienna to Zagreb today, the second time I've driven between two European capitals on the same day in the Morgan, the last being Budapest to Bratislava a few years back. We had a rear tyre blowout on the motorway just South of Graz so we're going tyre shopping tomorrow. Argh! The rim is ok I hope. Good luck!

Yesterday had two storage sheds broken into overnight and £300 of gear stolen. Then the business computer hard drive blue screened - no repair until next Tuesday.
So today went in the Morgan the 20 mile round trip to Harwich to buy more security bolts and padlocks/etc to deter future shed / garage break-ins.
Now smiling again after charging down the back roads and then chatting to passing pedestrians who appreciated my Mog on a gloomy day in east Essex.
Thank goodness for Morgan ownership...a guaranteed pick me up.

Cracking day out to the Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone, with splendid drive accross country there and back in great sunshine. Stopped for a pint on the way home at Lewknor (near M40 jt 6).
What more could you want.

Lovely drive down the leafy lanes of Co Wexford with wifey and lunch in a nice pub in New Ross 55kms of fun - quite testing on the ssl 5 link suspension mind - a good proving ground for chassis and suss mods!!
Cheers!!

380 miles this weekend up from sussex exploring Norfolk, Suffock and over to Peterborough and home. Only saw 1 other Morgan, an areo going the otherway! The bumpy/lumpy roads through the fens were great fun and gave the suspension a good workout.
As the miles mount it seems to get better and better......

Great couple of days run out to the Forest of Dean for a Wild Mogs shindig. Some lovely driving, great company....never mind the food.🤓 And quite a number of classics on the road too. The most memorable wasn't a classic but a McLaren overtake of me and SBM....a blast of sound and a blur 😋
