Looks amazing - did you manage to get to the factory to see it during build? Sadly we were away, but have good memories from a recent visit. We went for automatic. While manual does give a real sense of connectedness, the BMW auto system is so smooth that it changes gears better than I could, most of the time. And as our other cars are electric, it was one fewer thing to re-learn each time we get in the Morgan — remembering to use a handbrake or use a key is hard enough :-)

![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2024/10/03/IMG_2445-noplates-7.jpg) Brand new Plus Four in Etna Blue (an old Porsche colour from the 1960s I believe). First journey from dealer to home with brief photo stop in Cirencester :-) You're lucky the traffic wardens didn't nab you! Lovely colour on the car

And with Day One of the new car, it was (amazingly given recent weather patterns) beautifully sunny. Therefore an extraneous errand was invented, requiring a trip to the other side of the Cotswolds on back roads. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2024/10/03/IMG_2465.jpg) Beautiful car with a cracking colour combination, enjoy your new adventures.

Lovely car, hope to see it around Glos/Cirencester. If you are free on the weekend, Saturday weather bodes well for Prescott Hill Climb, near Winchcombe. if you would like guest passes for Saturday or Sunday ( Two plus 8's and a series one competing Saturday, 11 Morgans/13 drivers competing on Sunday) let me know. I have 2 for Saturday and currently 3 for Sunday. Regards Phil

Thanks for all your kind words. The Morgan community is very welcoming. An unbelievable three sunny days in a row on the Cotswolds. Each day brings the requirement for a new errand. Farm shops are particularly good - 2 hours driving to get half a dozen eggs, but they will be fresh from the farm :-) Raining forecast for all the coming week. And my sidescreen technique is only partially improved -- down from a 2cm gap all around the driver's side, to a 1cm gap at the front top. Need to keep practising - or I will get very wet. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2024/10/05/IMG_2483.jpg)

Scroll down. There is a guide on how to fit on this websiteThank you yes - I found that earlier today and it was what got me from 2cm all around to 1cm at the top... It seems that despite the dealer telling me hand-tightening the knobs is enough, at least at the moment it seems to need to go well past that using a full turn or more with the Tommy bar. But there is still a gap at the top. Will try again tomorrow!
