Haven’t posted much on TM of late. I changed from the M3W to the 4/4 a while back, mainly to allow easier access for Cecily and the practicality of taking a wheelchair. However, our use of the car has not been that great this year as Cecily’s Parkinson’s is increasingly difficult to manage and touring with the car is simply not going to happen. Events this week have made me take a fairly hard look at my toys. I had a TIA on Monday, affecting my walking - veering to the left. All back to normal now and firing on all cylinders. Of course, I can’t drive for 30 days - not that this is exactly Morgan weather. As some of you will recall, my hobbies have always been steam related (model railways & a miniature traction engine) and so, for me, the classic car bug bit late. I always enjoyed going out for a run in the M3W - it made me smile - but the 4/4 has never really produced that reaction. Is it really needed? My son Ashley would be very sorry to see it go. Indeed his clothing range has really begun to take off with a new very high spec jacket due to launch in the spring. Much of his stuff is ideal for hardened Morgan drivers e.g. https://www.ashleywatson.co.uk/journal/studio-notes/cardington-sweatshirt. Some of you bought his products last year. ![[Linked Image]](https://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p707/strq0672/6C090016-5284-4748-B0C2-8BB78BDAD965_zpsdjyalxn1.jpeg) It’s a mighty fine car. So I’ll muse on this for a while. Tim

Good to see you back on here again, sorry to hear about Cecily though.
Wishing you luck with the TIA and hope they get you suitably medicated, I hope you get to keep the Morgan it is a beauty and always good for a little joy during those stressy times.
Take care.

Hi, we haven`t met, but I know where your coming from, I had a TIA in Oct last year, and it can knock your confidence a little, but with the right medication and help you will be right in no time, not been able to drive for 30 days is hard, Good luck with your recovery, I was lucky its only two fingers on my left hand were affected, and still numb today, and doesn`t stop me polishing my Morgan
