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

+1 on the Lavenham Butchers burgers. BTW will fess up to the seriously dodgy navigation to a pub I've visited several times before (but arriving from the south) creating some directional dyslexia when arriving from the north

Those sausage rolls looked mighty fine, too!

Went for a great day out yesterday to meet up with a mate, John, who recently bought a Mk1 Austin Healey 3000, what a beautiful car that is.

First a 45 mile run down to Alresford for a coffee and chat and then a cracking 20 mile drive along the Petersfield Road to Uppark for brunch. The Hampshire roads are in better condition than those in Surrey so it was both beautiful and relaxing not having to watch for potholes and broken surfaces. This road sweeps through the South Downs and in 20 miles offers long fast curves, some straight road and a section of hairpins - Great! A 140 mile round trip by the finish.

the Healey has been restored to daily user condition rather than a show car, has an aftermarket cylinder head (name forgotten) and has not suffered from rust or major damage in it's long history, a recent re-spray may conceal minor flaws. It runs a little rich at the moment, John plans to adjust the twin SU carberretors in the next day or two and is planning new carpets and various other items to tidy up the interior and make it a bit more comfortable. While parked in Alresford we struck up a conversation with a chap who acquired a 100/6 just two years earlier from the same outfit. John and he traded anecdotes and information for a while, all very interesting.

Very tasty . I always like how the windscreen moves on the 100.

Popped out for a quick 30-mile jaunt today. Huge fun. Lots of B road tomfoolery, tyres squealing, a bit of drift here and there, and at no point did I exceed 60mph.

Absolutely no sign of any other even remotely interesting vehicles apart from a simply lovely Morris Traveller. By 'eck they are great little cars, aren't they?

Like you, a quick 40 mile trip around the B roads of Berkshire and Oxfordshire to blow away the dust, and check before MOT on Tuesday.

Lovely trip to Widecombe for lunch with a TR friend and afternoon tea at Buckfast Abbey, a cracking day out with good company and scran..

A blast down to Whitstable for a walk along Tankerton Slopes towards Herne Bay then back along the promenade for coffee in the Whitstable Castle tea room.
BHM Breakfast Club today............

That looks fun Richard. I only managed a quick spin to the seafront to test Belle out after the local garage did the MOt & service on Friday. All was good.

Nice n shiny Rich! (I mean of course the car rather than you….unless you’ve had a good polish too)
