Out in the sun with the roof off with my brother. We had a good blast. Stopped at a pub and on the way out a biker was looking at the car and said "Great car, beautiful, lovely colour....but I bet it's warmer roof down than being on a bike".
I replied...."you're joking aren't you....it's a Morgan....the heater don't work and it's got a drag coefficient equal to a breeze block....we're freezing!!" Happy days :-)

I wish...
Tarka is in the garage, it is snowing outside.
Not sure that hood down in the snow is an experience I want to have....
BUT...it might help show the airflow path into the cockpit....!!
Hmm.

Wednesday 7th March started out so well, blue sky, chilly but not cold, so i thought I'd get Tarka out for only the 2nd time since the start of the year. A great run over to Gillingham, Dorset to see my pal Richard. We went to Cafe Newt for lunch, highly recommended, especially if you like exotic Iyalian bikes amd other things...as well as new things from Guzzi, MV and Aprillia they have a nice Heskith for sale and a single cylinder Ducatti with an exposed flywheel! Leaving the Cafe it started to spit with rain, so when we got back to his home I put the hood up. About 20 min later the heavens opened and I drove back in incredibly wet weather. This was the result..  I don't think I've ever seen so much mud on the car.... Time to get the hose out!

Cafe Newt. Are they the same people Hesketh is writing about on their FB page? https://www.facebook.com/Hesketh-Motorcycles-266970416730900/Rudolf

Possibly, I think that the Cafe and the dealer is linked to the people behind MotoCorsa.

Took Lucifer out for a brief drive on friday for his annual service & mot, had a few extras done like axle/gearbox oil and thankfully no other issues were apparent.. so for once, not a bad bill!
