I have had the lane to my house flattened - all the potholes removed. I can now escape in the Morgan with ease.

It looks like you live in Sleepy Hollow.
It will give you a lot more freedom after your sump clouts.

Yes - the dreaded SC's! The sump guard has saved my engine more times than I can count.

 A bit of a road trip! Car was transported to Inverness by Car Storage Scotland while we went by sleeper train. Highly recommended - especially once the upgraded sleeper cars arrive. & then we had the joy of fabulous, empty roads for a week.  Will

What a sensible solution to the long drag up.
May one ask what it cost?

I have had the lane to my house flattened - all the potholes removed. I can now escape in the Morgan with ease. All it needs now is a few tones of crushed limestone and a box blade attachment on your tractor and you will have a great drive.... Lots of videos on Youtube show how to do it.!!

Nice drive up to Malvern this afternoon. That was yesterdays drive. Dropped the aero off for a service before a trip to Italy and drove the 3 wheeler for the last time as it goes up for sale next week.  On the up side new toy on order

May one ask what it cost? It worked very well. We arrived fresh from a decent night's sleep, and ready for a holiday. I'm not sure that would've been the case if we'd driven that far north. & it cost £1400... which seems a lot until set against the additional costs of a 2 day trip to Inverness: - food & lodgings: budget £500 a night - fuel... 560 miles at 25mpg - it's a couple of tank-fulls, maybe 3 The sleeper cost £250, plus a nice meal out in Soho beforehand. So the net cost to have 2 days holiday, rather than hard driving to get to Scotland, is about £500. For this time-poor traveller it made sense Will
