Out for a two hour roof off drive this afternoon round the Chiltern Hills prior to its second MOT, I am ashamed to say I've only managed a paltry 750 miles since the last MOT. It might be my last run out in it as Im about to order a CX, just torn between a high spec Plus Four or a very Basic plus Six, I will make my mind up soon. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/08/Dunstable-downs.jpg)

As dusk was approaching thought a stop in nearby village to get photo of new switchback indicators appropriate. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/ZTCNrhd.jpeg) . Just noticed. That’s my house in the background. Call in for a brew next time. Good to catch up today 👍 Thanks Chris but needed to get home at the time after visiting LR guru Richard Hall. Shame only yourself in a Morgan at Snetterton but glad you had a good day. You will have to let us know how the instructor session went.

I'm sure you've looked at second-hand options - interesting to see a few Plus 6s for not much more than a new Plus Four.

Yesterday test ride after repairing radiator ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/09/20211107_120921.md.jpg) The view over the "bonnet" is not really that nice. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/09/20211107_120553.md.jpg) But everything seems okay More on this later in the appropriate thread.

2nd hand Plus Four don't have the new roof, comfort seats & tend to have options I don't want & don't really want to pay for. 2nd hand Plus Six Ditto & the cheapest are at about £80k when a new one to my spec is "only" £86k I like the standard wheels on a Plus Six, comes with auto, bluetooth, comfort plus seats & aircon as standard, all of which are extra on a four, in fact a black six with tan leather with heated seats as the only paid option only comes in about 5K more than the spec of Four that I would want. The biggest difference is £600 a year more insurance + requirement for a tracker, longterm that could add up to quite a bit more. Also the extra width means a full garage re-organisation which could involve the purchase of a new shed etc...

... you can never have too many sheds! If I bought a big enough shed I could actually squeeze a Plus Six and a 3 wheeler in the garage. Im sure the wife would really like that , If you don't see me on here for a while its because I've dared to suggest it, I'll probably be at the L&D Hospital.

... you can never have too many sheds! Absolutely. A chap cannot have too much stuff. He can, however, have too few sheds. All this modern minimalist nonsense is a plot to try and prevent perfectly legitimate shed acquisition.
