Hood down. I have never driven it hood-up yet... (own it since sept ‘17). Sounds tougher than I am. I always check for possible rain first

The thing you are wise to put on at least once a year to make sure it fits if it's not an easy up type. I didn't put mine on for the 1st year of new ownership of my Sport and boy I got a surprise when I did try it on, akin to trying your wedding suit on, unlike the later a little room temperature works wonders I found.

I was hoping you'd say that!
Not having the hood up that is.
I've just realised it doesn't attach the reply to the specific message.

A hood is an indicator of a roadster  ...and a reason for us to switch from a motorcycel with sidecar to a morgan....

This is going great. I've selectively quoted your replies and piqued her interest in riding in a Morgan. The promise of cream teas helped.
I've portrayed my wife rather weaker than she actually is, and the great thing about living where we are is that we can be out on winding country lanes in no time.
Short journeys to favourite places is how I'll play it. Gradually exposing her to the full wind in her hair (too late for me) experience.
I'm loving all this advice, please keep it coming.

Well you are in the right place for some great drives in a Morgan 🤓. Good luck in your quest.

Remember that time when your next passion takes over and that's all you can think about?
That's me, that is!
