When I saw the ad before this post, I thought you were selling this car. Do not hesitate IVO. I took the step and I don't regret it. She is made for you.
I must say, that I am very tempted… what I absolutely dislike, however, is the colour of the interior. Not per se, because I have a similar in my Infiniti and I chose that on puropse, but in the combination with the exterior it looks awful. The missing spare wheel is (besides the price tag, of course), an other point. But I could get used to that one (or add one later if not). The car is located about 550km from my place… I need a few more days… The Plus Four Auto CX is another world from a Trad... Less of a toy than the trd you had, I'd say as useable as a Mazda MX5! Im still debating selling the Plus 8 for a Plus Four... Black and yellow? why not?The lack of a spare is a psychological worry. the Plus 8 doesn't have one, neither for that matter does the Tesla nor the Mercedes... I

Not a psychological worry… rather esthetics  And the colour scheme is very mine

Thank you, for your kind words, dear friends I‘m still undecided about the replacement. Browsing car selling platforms, I stumbeled over this one and my heart almost stopped beating. It's got your name written all over it Ivo!

It's got your name written all over it Ivo!  I‘m not so sure… My head and my gut are in a discussion now. The problem is, both are in a disagreement and both permanently switch positions. One moment, the the gut says yes and the head says no, the next moment, it is the other way round. I will give myself a dew days and then go with the gut feeling (as I usually do)

As part of my ongoing test of my Morgan's (hopefully cured) incontinence, I went on a 60 mile round trip to Chidrey Stores this morning. Reading, Wantage Lambourn, Newbury and home. Well worth the journey for the Almond Croissant and coffee. What a delightful village. Might feel compelled to visit there one day when the sun is out. Got out at last for a blast through south Ox and Wilts, ending up with what must be the best coffee in the Northern Hemisphere, at Childrey stores. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/01/05/719EC08B-C478-42FE-A9C4-A16469C5381F.jpg)

I will give myself a dew days and then go with the gut feeling (as I usually do) Ivo, I have only now after weeks again looked into this thread and I am very sorry for what happened to you, even if fortunately no one was hurt. It is always easy to say something about your new decision from the outside. And it doesn't necessarily make your choice easier when the weight of reasons for the decision piles up in both bowls of the scale. But I share with you my very first split-second perception: This Plus Four in "your" color scheme shows up like a wave of fate. To the color of the interior. I found the tan not really good as long as it is new. But already after one or two years, especially this tan looks very nice with use. It then gets shades of color and nice touch and feel. The photos are taken in very unfortunate light and uncharitably and they show the interior very unrelated to the exterior color, which I think makes a good match to yellow and black.

Lovely day down in Kent so we took a meander down to Scotney Castle in Lamberhurst. As we were leaving we saw another Morgan parked next to ours - a metallic grey Plus Four, registration JA04 MOG. Not a car I recognise, and suspect they may be from out of the area as it had a Williams logo on the back. It looked like a New Forest (LogMog) badge on the badge bar (from my blurry photo). Unfortunately I didn't get to meet the owner. Anyone here?

A very pleasant day here so Mrs F decreed that we were going out. A lovely 38 mile round trip to Calke NT where we had a lovely walk round and the first scones of 2022 - Jam on first. Home via Scotland (near Breedon on the Hill).

First shopping trip today for some provisions managed to get a few bags in the footwell but hadn’t factored in the attention in the car park and then took the long way home

Set off early to drive back to Bedfordshire, on to Northamptonshire, then back to our new home near the Suffolk Coast. 261 miles, the first and last 50 of which were on lovely cross country B and C roads and the remainder on the trunk road network. Got home just after sunset. Lovely day! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/03/22/tempImageAVs1v3.md.jpg)
