Personally, I LOVE Devon: Shaldon and Teignmouth, by Torgquay, and the roads there are lovely, so there we go:)

Re: If you could, where would you take your Morris?
everywhere i go
well, i've taken my minor around devon a few times, and that was quite fun. i've taken my minor on the MOT in 2008 and 2009, and she's going again this year. But they've all just been in france. I'd quite like to go further into europe, italy, the alps. and i still have an outstanding challenge from a friend to take my minor to the nurburgring
maybe when i get a slightly quicker one, at least with a 5 speed!
I've never been further north than Yorkshire. I'd quite like a trip to scotland too! I think I will do the jogle once, but i wont do it every year (it's long way!) but i'd like to be able to cross it off my list
so yeah, if i could, i'd take it everywhere!

A little further south, around Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, besides it would be a good excuse for taking my Series MM up Telegraph Hill again. On the other hand I have not tried Porlock Hill in Somerset yet.

thanks a lot!
Re: If you could, where would you take your Morris?
Interesting topic.
Personally I would like to do a road trip to switzerland, though not confident enough for fear of breaking down. I have driven across the uk without any problem.

Re: If you could, where would you take your Morris?
the MOT last year was near the swiss border, we took two cars, and decided that as we were so close, we popped into switzerland to see a friend. it's a very interesting place. we didn't go around much in the minors in switzerland as you need a special pass to travel on their motorways, and it's such a big country, everything is very spread out! we got shown around the lakes and mountains by our host, who took us in his modern car. it's a beautiful country!
Re: If you could, where would you take your Morris?
Britain has so many beautiful places that I have not yet seen, how long a list do you want
