Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Do you go in the snow?

Here in Sweden we are of course known for our snowy winters. I have tucked my car away for the winter at a facility rather far from where I live, both because I live in a flat and don't have a garage and because I assume it's not doable/sheer madness to drive a Morgan when the white stuff is falling. But then I got to thinking -- with a decent set of (maybe studded) snow tires and a pair of those heated gloves, maybe it could work? Or is there too little weight over the rear wheels to get any grip?

Who me?

Some of the best runs are in cold winter conditions but the de-crudding of the car afterwards can be hard going. There's a few times I've ended up with a ring of black ice on the street around the car as I'm hosing it down while trying to stay upright. Apparently it's character building...

Absolutely up here in the mountains I stop when the temperatures get below -5C (old age), it was -12C this morning.

Yes Adam, it's good fun as long as you treat the pedals as you treat your partner..

Adam, Back in the early eighties I was living in Wales and there was often snow in winter. The Morgan was my only car and it was quite a way to work so snow or no snow I had to use it. There was one memorable morning , at the bottom of a long hill, with several vehicles abandoned, a policeman approached and said something like, "ah a Moggie, you'll get up there alright so off you go" and I did.
