Back to the original question about how far you have driven your Morgan. I have owned the Morgan for about 4 years. It came in boxes (don't they all?). After 2 years of assembly, including the engine and transmission, the chassis was driven around the block twice. Since then it has been at the body shop. Hope to have it back from the body shop by fall. Maybe then it will have more than a block worth of travel. Getting back to the original question you forgot to tell us the distance around your block  ..

Once around the block, about 1/4 mile. Sitting on a milk box without a body on the car. What a thrill. Can't wait to see what is like to drive a Morgan with a body and an interior. This is the first time I have driven or ridden in a Morgan.

Should have taken mine out today.
Instead, by mid afternoon, I ended up using the 90 to get the mower down to garden machinery supplier.

My trusty Honda mower went third pull, G..! And that's on old fuel out of one of my bikes, too.. Can hardly move now, though..  Did consider getting the Mogster out for a bath as it's still dirty after last weeks coffee meet, but as it's likely to get wet again on Saturday, there seemed little point..

Great project you have there - any pictures would be greatly appreciated by all on here  .

Mine started and ran for about 20 seconds and that was it, apart from the odd kick. My right arm is knackered. The mechanic at the shop, when booking it in said "one year and 4 days old". Annoying, as I could have gone out and about trying a "new" lens, courtesy of J Not that blue cloudless skies are conducive to great photos. See what tomorrow brings - it won't be a short lawn  I'll probably be in the Z on Saturday - it has enough fuel for the day.

Hi Stewart
Fuel was leaking from the tank, poor weld apparently, this was picked up during the service on the 13th March. New tank was fitted today.
