An early start for a trip to the Lake District, in order to beat the traffic through the Dartford Crossing. The weather was good until we neared Matlock for an overnight stop so had to put the hood up. Despite being the traditional nine stud mohair variety iit took very little time and is much better than the ever flex ones I've had in the past.
No other Morgan's seen but I did spot a nice Morris Traveller on the M2.

 Calais to Saint Quentin which was a sight better than driving round the M25 yesterday afternoon. You'd never think that the French won the World Cup yesterday, there's no sign of it.

Err, ooops! Had planned to take the 4/4 to the BOC Garden Party on Sunday, but couldn't push car out of garage. Had to fire the engine up to move it. Discovered the one tyre I can't see when the car is parked in garage was flat. Changed wheel yesterday, then took the wheel up to Paul Harris Tyres. Now have 5 good tyres/tubes (at least I did yesterday  ).

A nice Morgan - the same colour of my first one which was a 1969 4/4.

No luggage? You travel light. Or does your butler follow in the Rolls with your wardrobe?

You were just about to get a raised eyebrow there Richard, until I realised we weren't in the Cars Mostly thread  Taking 4/4 to Mark Middleton early tomorrow morning. Booked to cover two tours while, hopefully, the car passes its MoT It should then be on display at Defford in the classic car area on Saturday.
