Just returned home after an 1100 mile jaunt round the Lake District. Mog performed really well and didn't miss a beat, returning a very reasonable 35+mpg in the process.
Only issue was the tonneau cover zip deciding to give up the ghost, temporary repair done with a few tie wraps, so will have to find a decent trimmer who can stitch in a new one (my usual bloke has selfishly moved to Wisbech). You're not far from Allon White, if you give them enough notice to book a slot, Shaun will do it while you wait

You're not far from Allon White, if you give them enough notice to book a slot, Shaun will do it while you wait Yes - I bought my Mog from them and they made the cover originally. My only concern is the cost - my previous trimmer (ex Aston Martin so very high quality) was considerably cheaper. I'll give them a call - I can always drop it off on the way to work and pick it up on the way home.

I had a full tonneau divided into two halves with a strong zip and tensioner for £40 by some people in Faversham, but most good sailmakers will fit nautical-grade zips.

Not sure there are many in Northants/MK area but happy for any recommendations!

Many thanks! Hi Mark - can't say there's that many memorable roads in the area, but I do enjoy a bimble down to Shuttleworth every month or so. If you're a member of the MSCC then the CranMog lot are very active and do a lot of stuff. There's also the Olney Classic Car Club who have regular run outs and meeting. A lot depends on what you like doing and seeing. Me and the Mrs tend to drive around lwith a look out for 'Brown signs' and follow them as the mood takes us. Not a massive fan of car shows/displays, but do pop along to Caffiene and Machine in Stratford a fair bit - nice back road run avoiding the big A roads and motorways as much as possible, and then usually go on to Worcester to see the folks. If car shows and stuff are your thing, then Silverstone Social are very active, and there's a number of Classic Car Meets most weeks at Earls Barton and Towcester. Classic Car MeetsSilverstone Social
