Since selling my Roadster around four years ago, I've been on a journey. Not the Easyjet sort, but with so much crammed in to such a short space of time it's been a real rollercoaster. Covid, lockdowns, losing both my parents and even my best mate Stringer were some of the hardest parts, but on the upside I bought a pre-war MG for a play around.

This led directly into something I did a few decades ago, namely classic trialling. I sold the MG and set to with the build of a more modern equivalent, and enjoyed a modicum of success that culminated in a medal in last in January's Exeter Trial, despite the wipers failing in the worst monsoon weather.

The wheel keeps turning though, and that car now resides down in the West Country. In fact, if Budster stands on his roof, he'd probably see it..!

Morgan the company is changing too. From the era that I remember so well, along with all the many friends you make, it's certainly not the enterprise it used to be. Whether that's a good thing or not remains undecided, but I've been back several times as there's something about the whole 'Morgan' thing that is rather indelible.

I'm a Trad fan, I guess. And I keep browsing with mild intent again..

This must be an illness..or a box of polishing bits still unopened...wish me luck..!

Here's the trialler in full attack mode, anyway:

Hi SBM!
Great to see you back on the forum.
Not sure about the trialling, but each to his own.
Very sorry to hear about your losses. Really sad.

Time moves on, especially with MMC.
However you’ll be pleased that some things remain the same - e.g. the weight of a certain suitcase!

Welcome back. So sorry to learn of your sad losses.

If you want to scratch the Morgan itch again, there are a lot for sale at the moment - you could pick up a bargain depending on your tastes.

Thanks chaps,

So many good memories from TM & Morgans, so it's always good to catch up..

Has anyone heard from KevFitz since Easter..? He just upped sticks and moved to Holland, and we've lost contact now.

Hello Stevie H
Hugs and kisses from sunny Lancashire
Text Kevfitz, no response. Although if he’s moved to holland I suppose he’s unlikely to have the same number

Kev went to pursue his Citroen interests and it all happened rather suddenly. I hope he's doing OK.
