Elaine, I am und it fun even if in the rain.

Elaine, I'm sorry that you had such a wet experience but I have really enjoyed your report and the view from the passenger seat. Great to see life from the 'navigator's' (and mopper-up's) perspective and an idea for a thread perhaps?

Elaine, did you meet a blue Morgan, hood down in Golspie?( Sorry just read your post Elaine, thought it was you we met.) I thought it was Golspie, sure you know that road better than me!
We were heading towards Tain.

Torrential rain just as we left so no photos of today's trip home. I've included one from outside the hotel and 3 from a walk into Tain last night.

Nice run to Polperro, then Fowey, onto Wadebridge and then back to. Blisland. Morgans spotted = zero, although someone walked past the cottage and told the Mrs they had a +8

This morning we started a tour to the Vienna Woods and to the Schallaburg (100km west of Vienna) at bright sunshine. We applied factor 50 sun milk and drove some beautiful B and C-roads, had an excellent lunch and visited the Danube exhibition at the Schallaburg museum. While in the museum there was a thunderstorm outside. Thunderstorms were predicted for the evening, not for early afternoon.
Returning to the parking lot we noticed some water had entered the tonneau as the cover is less than perfect, but that was no surprise. We had a discussion about hood up or not when an other rain shower convinced us to have the hood up - fast!
Next 1½ hours was rainstorm, street flooding, lightning and thunder, broken trees and a less than watertight Morgan on the way home for the safe garage. Finally we made it and after changing our wet clothes we now enjoy a nice pot of tea.
Next week I have to apply a lot of neoprene to reduce water ingress when driving.

This picture gives a slight impression of the miserable weather condition on our way home.The wipers were trying to do their best...


P.s.: you will always need more dry towels than you have got in your car

The Austrian, as others have said, half the joy of owning and driving a Morgan are the improvements you have to make to create your perfect car.
Ours leaked like a sieve first time out in the rain, a few well situated seals around the screen top makes a huge difference.
Today's torrential rain around Inverness was quite pleasant to drive in. At least it washed the squashed midgies of the front , screen and hood of the car.

You must miss your M3W at times like that.

Sometimes more, sometimes less😉

T40 MGN (Blue Roadster) seen on Mersea Island today, around 12.45 on East Mersea Road, heading back to West Mersea, hope you didn't get caught by the high tide today when leaving our Island!!
