Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) So, have you driven your Morgan today?

Lovely pictures Gordon!

Beautiful pictures Gordon. I particularly love the ones involving the Italian Lakes!!
Nice one-thanks for sharing. How many miles do you reckon you completed on your trip, how many days did it take, was it you and your partner and, lastly, is that luggage on the back of your steed all you needed to last you? Gosh-I must drop hints to Lady HB so she realises we don’t need stabilisers on the back of our car to support the weight (we only need the back two wheels on ours....)
But we’ll keep that just between you and I of course. Ssshhhhhhh!

Thanks, glad you liked them.
HB, we covered just over 2600 miles over seventeen days, that is myself and Mrs D ( not the royal we)
A trip this long in a Morgan does require a fair bit of forward planning.
Regarding the luggage, we stayed a week in self catering accommodation in Someraro where we had a washing machine so clothing was washed when we arrived and again just before we left for the return journey. That way you only need enough for 5-6 days.
The box on the luggage rack holds the hood cover, sidescreen bag and other items like travel rug, there is also enough space to put the used laundry in there. This saves dragging it in and out of every hotel.

We also had some fitted luggage made which makes best use of the shelf space, I have attached a link with a picture.

Both myself and Mrs D do not need the seats fully back so there is useful space for essential items for European travel. The rest goes in the larger tool tray I made.

It was a great holiday but next time we would either travel less distance or take a longer period of time, this so we could stay a couple of nights at each stop instead of the one. I feel the need to return to nearly every town we stayed in so we could explore a bit more of the culture and history.

Yes.

Just got home from a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds with DonMog. We stayed at Three Ways House Hotel in Mickleton (AKA The Pudding Club) and attended the Friday evening ritual of the puddings. If you love your puddings it is to be recommended although their car park is a little smaller than is needed.

A walk from Broadway Tower on Sunday morning helped to bring things back into balance. The weather was kind to us for most of the weekend but there is now a very dirty Morgan in the garage waiting for a proper clean following the showers we drove through on the way home this morning.

Only 6 miles today - but an essential trip to the local garage... for biscuits!

And only 7 miles today! Quick shopping trip, and then I had to catch up on some pruning!

Tesco run today, not the closest.( Sun out ) twenty mile round trip. When we came out of supermarket there was a Caymen parked a good door width from us. Met the owner taking a great lntrest in the Mog. Had a good chat with him only to find his brother had a Morgan on order with the factory. (Not a +6) it's a small world.

Very nice colour.

Love this colour and the wheels too
