Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) So, have you driven your Morgan today?

The white car is possibly a Mitsuoka Himiko?

Rovert ... spot on ... that is indeed what it was .... just a little odd and overdone ... I expected the ghost of Liberace to step out of it!! 🙂

Definitely different though.

First breakdown on tour...
All the thunder storms on the way down to Styria were not an issue.
Today after a perfect start the good old Fiat engine behaved a bit rough. Idle too low, revs needed....
I spotted a parking bay as ignition went off...

Restart took a while and needed a check of all ignition parts. Start again - same behaviour - perfect at the start and at the end in walking distance from home it broke down right in front of the Fiat workshop. Misfire is all that happens...

Good that there is not enogh change awailable to get this one instead. Same base engine...

Nice few days away in the Mog - last Sunday from Rushden to Bath. LOT of rain, Then thankfully it disappeared for the week. From Bath on to Wells, and a day out to Cheddar. Then on to Dunster and Minehead, then Bristol via Weston. Ended up in Worcester yesterday and then finally home today.

Great trip and the old girl performed faultlessly....

My wife, daughters and I are currently encamped in our "stuga" (Swedish for "summer cottage") on the southern coast of Sweden. Being a relatively early riser -- at least, relative to the rest of my family -- I am in the habit of popping out of bed, popping the cover off our Morgan, and driving the small lanes through the farmers' fields to a countryside café nestled in a copse of trees. At this café there is a dirt parking area in the back with a strategically placed bench where you can sit and... look at the parking area. I have taken to calling this bench "bilbänken" (the "car bench"), and to sitting there with my morning coffee admiring my car and, I am maybe a little bit ashamed to admit, discreetly watching passersby admire my car. Does this make me a bad person?

Below is a somewhat zoomed-in picture of my car from "bilbänken". Interestingly, I have noticed that the car attracts just as much attention from the fairer sex as it does from the blokes, something that in my experience isn't typically the case with most "petrolhead" type cars.

Typical example from a few days ago

Adam, I can confirm the attraction of the fairer sex to our cars, when driving in Northern Spain a couple of weeks ago lots of females waved and made heart signs with their hands, even people on foot walking the Camino.

Had to change the leaking hydraulic brake light switch for a pedal actuator micro switch today. I didn't want to fit a Chinese hydraulic switch.
