That is a very good car parking deal G. Sad to hear lots of crazy prices going on though, a bit like down here you have to chose with care.
Good to hear you found some clear routes out in the sticks.

Ledbury to Ross and onto Hereford to see a client of mine who is a farmer. He has a Morgan three wheeler, black, a Jag F Type 5.0 litre, a Ural and side car and a Microlight aircraft. And he tried to chip me a £1 per ton on a hundred ton of fertiliser! I defended my price on account of me acquiring a Morgan. I will fine him harder next time. Weather sunny and dry. Meeting at hotel at Weston on the green tomorrow so Morgan fuelled up for another cross country run. Will drop hood on way back hopefully. Don’t want to arrive looking like Biggles on a bad day.

Oh yes out for a blast around the Chilterns. Side screens off, sun & 12c. Heaven.
Somehow driving the Mog is so much nicer than a tin top.

Steve,
oh yes you are right. I was just like Mr Toad today. Grinning from ear to ear.

And I sorted out a minor boot lid alignment issue, driver and passenger twisted seatbelts (Z3 seem prone to that), cleaned the green from the hood and tried to sort out which connector fed the passenger seat occupancy detector (I failed on the last one - might have to take the seat out for access).
Oh yes and I found my old Volvo C30 1.6D SE on a car dealer's site on eblag...

Not seeking sympathy (much) but we're still salt bound here in the centre of Europe. Sure, the temps are up but without a good downpour the residual white powder clings to the tarmac like an allergic rash. A Morgan owning friend, while walking his dog, collects water samples from potholes and puddles and then tests them for saline content. The results are then shared with the rest of the besieged community. The weekend will see more snow and, inevitably, more salt spreading. Fortunately there is live streaming from the Goodwood members meeting otherwise I would be out doing damage to salt spreaders.

Bit of strange feeling today, for the first time in years I've entrusted the Morgan to somebody else for a check over.
On the 'peer review' principle I took it along to Ian Moss Motors, my local back-street classic car specialist, and he's going to go over it with a fine-tooth comb to make sure I haven't missed anything that needs doing.
Hopefully he won't find anything, but then if he does I suppose it's a good thing as it means I had missed it.
