All earth connections are solid so I'm hoping its the "Turn it off, count to 10 and turn it back on again" philosophy of rebooting the systems - fingers crossed! 
Cheers, Paul

I'm going to Williams Morgan tomorrow to collect Tarka... The weather forecast looks benign and I've got my new Morgan Plus 8 Driving Smock.... ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/02/01/Drivind-Smock.jpg) Colour coordinated to the car, windproof, waterproof and with a hood that well help keep my neck warm! Not so sure about the 2 hour train journey...but only £16.00 so probably less than the petrol!!

Wonderful, finally back in your hands again.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I suggested to SWMBO that I get Taka wrapped to match.
The response was as one would expect..

Well...
Blue sky, not cold, open roads, little traffic and I'm back in love with the Plus 8.
The A46/A36 together provided all I needed and the Warminster Bypass.... I made very good progress with a big grin on my face.
Yes, there is enough equity in it to make a new Plus 4 posible, but why?
What would I gain?
Tarka and I have run over 30,000 miles together, I think there is more to come. OK, she has a drink problem and servicing and tax are expensive, but so what....?

Why indeed! A sanitised Euro compliant 4cyl turbo or a NA massive V8 - no contest......There's no replacement for displacement!

Just needs those silly side pipes for the total silly b____r effect and grin. Ah I forget you have culture and sensibility. I still think there is just a little bit of loony begging to get the anti-social things fitted?

You definitely have to be a little careful with the side pipes though.....talking from experience when the long-haired colonel had some friends over and she asked me to to demonstrate the lovely sound of the V8 through side pipes to them. She was stood a little too close wearing white trousers when I blipped the throttle a little excitedly and hey presto the the white trousers have been adapted to white shorts!
Cheers, Paul
