Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Entente Cordiale…….

aerotaff - already done that visit and both Fathers fought in the second world war so we know an awful lot about respect where it is due and other than Jo Cox and John Smith I have none for the rest of them.

Well you have not been paying attention - plastic hulled monstrosities are my hate and the Classic Channel Racing yachts that visit are mostly wood and I loved the lines and craftsmanship involved.
I have converted a couple of grockles to Morganing and the second one will be moving down here with an identical one to my Plus 8 next week. The first one is in Kingswear now with a 4/4 so yes some of the visitors are good to know. They are all good for the local economy for sure as they are everywhere.
Looking forward to becoming a pair of grockles in Eire shortly where they tolerate the English while we are spending so a reciprocal tacit aggreement.

My Morgan is used most days and spends a lot of time on Dartmoor I just happen to like enjoying the driving more than looking for photo opportunities and have plenty of spare capacity for interests other than Morgan in my life thank God..

The only club I think worthy is that toted by cavemen - again it's a valid personal choice some folk like the safety of belonging - not me I prefer independence and never bother about others opinions or fitting in..

Respect is earned not an assumed thing by the way.

Most of our grand fathers and fathers did as well. You dug a bit of a hole for yourself Rich regarding an elderly Grandee back peddle as much as you like it was not nice.And thats an end to it as far as I'm concerned. you may get more spelling mistakes in future got ruddy glycoma

Sorry to read that .

That's not good how does that fit with driving then ?

Hopefully they got you early and are treating it.

All I would say get your eyes checked regularly.You can stem the flow a bit with the expensive lenses with wide peripherals mines at the early stages no halo around anything yet. If i get another 10 years it will be a bonus.As with most of us of a certain age driving at night with bright LEds coming towards you is not good those night vision over glasses are brilliant.

And obviously the plus six drive's itself.

Good news they picked it up early and can help slow it down for you. I am Type 2 so every two years now for check up..

I'm finding at night the LED's are like a white out so I'll look for a pair of them.

Any recommends ?

I enjoy my Ford Puma ST which does much the same thing as the Plus Six with just the two pedals - not so the Plus 8 or 4/4 Sport.

Their just the cheap overglasses about a tenner you can get them with amber yellow or grey lenses non branded plenty on the interweb. You look a bit Roy Orbison with them on but they work. Hell of a thread drift.

Thanks, I'll get some of them and wait for the piss takes then.

Quite some drift as you say

Crikey Em, that's not good.
I have a pair of the yellow clip on glasses somewhere, on somebody's recommendation more than 12 years ago, but I didn't find they helped much. Maybe things have improved now.

You're thinking of the Auld Alliance mate, in which France and Scotland agreed in 1295 what to do if either was attacked by England.

Entente Cordiale was between the UK and France in 1904, in which we recognised each other's colonial ambitions and agreed not to tread on each other's toes.
