I was doing tours yesterday - missed you! (From the angle of the shadows that photo was taken before I arrived  ). yes ,it was early on Graham, before we set off for home. Sorry we missed you too; did you see the red, series 1 Aero8 parked up ? I remember meeting the (then) owner at Shelsey but I think it may have been sold on since then....? James

Looks lovely James, how do you keep it so clean with all that driving  Aaah the Swan at Hanley, do miss the food there - did you stay at the regular place? I managed to get my Aero out for an MOT, a grand total of about 1 mile driven.. which took the total to 16 last year

James Red Aero 8 - yes had a chat to Andy. He's owned the car for around 6 years. It's going to be replaced by a PlusSix though. He's a member here, but I haven't seen him post in quite a while. He also used to marshal at Prescott, but nowadays can be seen driving the hill in one of his other cars on the occasional event.

That’s funny, the last time I saw one out in the wild it was in a hospital car park.

I may be a sad old g*t, but I feel that MMC has gone all corporate: I miss the comfortable, slightly down at heel image that used to be portrayed.
Someone is paying for all the glitz and glamour and it isn't the shareholders...but the customers.
It could be any car showroom...
 I liked the old Morgan world much better. When there were old worn leather armchairs in the factory and slowly fading pin-up photos hung on the walls ... When you bought a Morgan in a small workshop, not a glass palace. Today they pretend they're Aston Martin ...

I think it looks very much in keeping with the brand.
Nothing like any Aston Dealer or any other I’ve been into.
They have to move with the times much like the cars.

Today 250 miles for a BBQ with friends. I was not used anymore at the combo temperature-noise-wind-squeaks-noises-rattles of Violet. It has been an experience. But I cannot avoid enjoying it even if I feel tired as if I drove for 2500 miles

No Plus 8 driving this weekend, just too much pollen about to make being outside enjoyable.
Also rather warm....
