Covid had, and still is, affecting how people behave. The restrictions were a massive change in lifestyle. Habits, attitudes took a beating and there are still lingering changes. Many people have been slow in reverting back to their previous lfestyles and are still looking at choices differently.
Looking back on how I came out of the covid era I still consider risks, options but increasingly less. It's a natural process and now has very little influence on choices. It's a process based on risk assessment and sensible interpretation of reliable statistics.
Over the last two years my Morgan mileage has exceeded the pre-covid levels. I've " upgraded" from a Plus8. to a Plus Four a year ago. 10k+ miles done. More planned for the next year. Not just stay-away trips but local use too. No winter SORN. The car is there to use. Going to play golf, shopping, spur of the moment run out just for the fun.
It's a psychological healing effect. Use it while I can as lifespan is limited. No medical reasons not to or looming ( as far as I know!) so enjoy it while I can.
