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

Trip out to a new museum called The Great British Car Journey, worth a visit if you are ever in Derbyshire

Fell in love with a fabulous S1 Aero, in amazing condition considering it was almost 20 yrs old

That's a better photo than the one posted by Smithy to a small email group, thanks Jon!

Not driven mine today, but did go and drive a friend's (and fellow marshal) late 70s Plus 8.

We were there. Agree - well worth a visit. Arrived too late for a proper look round all the Morgans there sadly.

We really must learn to co-ordinate the TM'ers at these events.

I was there as well with some of the Staffordshire Group.

Great little museum and well worth spending a couple of hours.

Whilst walking round, several commented that it was a shame they don't have a Morgan in the museum.

Turns out they do but the museum owner put it outside to welcome us.

You can just see it on the right hiding behind the Silver Roadster. Dark Burgundy colour.

Many thanks to Phil Royle for organising

yep, a great trip, Tormoggers there too....will go there again with a couple of pals and reminisce about the cars we used to drive! found out halfway around my earphones were not plugged in enough to get the commentary!

Yes an apology for my omission of thanks to Phil for organising

Having been presented with a wonderful warm almost windless and mostly blue sky day it seemed an ideal opportunity to exercise the old Mog. As I was trundling along listening to the squeaks, creaks and feeling the bumps and thumps of yet another unavoidable B road pot hole, I was reminded of that which I typed earlier this morning of the description of a Shackleton....(-:

As part of one of my usual routes I passed by Blane Precision engineering and saw the proprietor standing outside, I could not resist spinning round the roundabout and stopping for a chat as he owned a vintage Morgan three wheeler and hoped to grab a pic of it. I had spotted it some years back when he re-bushed my stub axles. Unfortunately he informed me that he sold the 3 wheeler, but had replaced it a vintage Indian m/cycle which he had ridden to the continent before Covid, he looking less fit and more aged than I... I take my hat off to guys like that and still operating his one man band business informing me was very busy with work. Must be one of the few real live engineers still around in these parts..?

He also told me that he as the former owner of a 4/4 and +4 that he had a rear rack which he would sell if I knew anyone interested..? if you google his business name you will find him near Killearn on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Hope that I am not crossing any boundaries as I have no connection whatsoever with the business other than he did a good job of bushing and reaming my stub axles some years back.

I also grabbed a pic while in the area, though have to apologise for the quality as my camera lens was left in manual focus mode ...schoolboy, or more likely old man error....Duh, but perhaps still worth sharing the scene..?

The hill in the background is Dumgoyne which has a Whisky distillery at it`s base and apparently had volcanic tendencies way back in history. Last time I tasted whiskey as a non-drinker, it exposed my own rather volcanic tendencies....

Lovely run out this afternoon and evening to meet up with a pal in Chagford for a 🍻 and 🥘 with lovely deserted roads. Most of the nation hunched over their TV’s

Had a great run today from Staffordshire to Castle Combe enroute to Williams for some warranty work.
Staying in a pub nearby so had chance to catch the England game as well.
Happy Days !!!!
