Sadly we were away, but have good memories from a recent visit.

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 :-)

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 thumbs

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.

Thank 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!

Went to the AngleMog October Foray near Coventry exploring the area around Stratford. Had a great time mainly hood down despite the showers.
We had a group photo of the cars before leaving this morning to come home, our is unique being sans hood.

We did over 500 miles in total & the CX is now at over 6k. 4k of which we have driven in it since July. She is delivering 39.84 mpg weighted average.
