18 mile round trip to Tesco's and back. What a great shopping car given new ride courtesy of SSL  Still the same firm suspension but seemingly riding on a one inch cushion of air leaving the car rattle free  Now there goes a brave man who dares park his Mog in a Tesco car park, and this time emerges scratch and dent free!

I do it all the time. They are to driven & used. I will admit with the tin tops and the Mogs I avoid the area near the trolley return points.

The secret is choosing your spot with care. In this case an end of strip with adjacent cross hatched area protected by a bollard. Parking close to this allowed full door movement without encroaching on next slot. Still a risk of course from customers in a shopping list induced trance  Being a bloke helps. I'm in, picked up everything on my list and out, typically before  has cleared the first aisle

My wife has. Blue badge for her health problems, so fairly safe from door damage problem,but boy do we get some dirty looks and remarks for parking in a disabled bay. It seems disabled people can't have a sorts car.

I've found the same when we go out in the DB7. Not all disabilities can be seen.

Agreed I know at least one wheel chair user who drives a Morgan.

I covered 4 miles today... Not much for sure, the reason was to try out a different GoPro arrangement.. I bought the camera to record some of my favourite roads though the wind-rush picked up by the mic drowned out the sound of everything else, which was less than desirable, so I bought the kit to allow me to fit a remote mic with a sock so wanted to try it out in a number of locations to determine if I could make an improvement on sound quality, pleased to say it worked out rather well... Hoping now to cover a few more miles on my next time out... (-:

Made up for yesterday`s miserable mileage early this morning, out circa 06:00hrs and headed for the Trosscahs, managed a few runs back and forth through The Dukes Pass then took the long way home... Managed 101 miles on what was a wonderfully bright sunny morning with evidence of a grass frost in places... Very refreshing... Cobwebs well and truly blown away..
