Not recently, too many dead insects on the front. Happens every time I use her. A major design flaw, I feel. Is there some sort of "non stick" coating that could be applied??

Common fault I fear. I tried with rainx (only idea I had in mind) but reality is that you need or a high pressure water jet stuff (not sure how to name it in English) or the old good elbow grease.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

By applying Meg’s Ultimate Quick Detailer to front facing areas; though the insects still are just as numerous, washing them off is far easier.

I too am a fan of Meguairs Ultimate Detailer and use it a lot. But not right now! Am laid up whist the knee recovers from the partial replacement. No driving for me for quite a few weeks yet

Run out with the "LogMog" crew this morning, not far, only about 35 miles up and down the Woodford Valley, which runs from Salisbury to Amesbury.
A good collection of 15 cars, no true Aeros and only Tarka as an Aero Plus 8.
I wish these runs were a bit more adventurous, 60 to 90 miles seems reasonable for a morning run. We finished up at Old Sarum airfield for a coffee and then a look round BDAC, where I work. Caroline had an hour is the simulator, demonstrating very firmly that she is a far better pilot than I, landing her Beagle Pup on the main runway at Boscombe Down.
