Good Friday trip

Post by exlkrs »

Hardly noteworthy, but testament to these little marvels that we all love. The Traveller had not moved much all winter, 50 mile tops. Much of the time I couldn't even get it out due to work going on behind it. So yesterday on a whim, over 100 miles to Matlock Bath and back. Never missed a beat and put a smile on my face. :D
Messin' with Morris (and Austin) for half a century!

First outings after winter and so far in April
Silverstone, Gaydon, Hook Norton, Whichford, Stratton Audley, five outings in two weeks. Around 150+ miles trouble free, happy driving and smiles to the gallon. Great to have the moggy out in the sunshine again :tu1:

Mine came out yesterday, the smiles are infectious, one woman was so surprised she tripped and spilled her shopping on the pavement.

Driving back home, smiling and hood down, from a (successful) pre-MOT brake check last week, I heard a passing hatchback driver utter "Beautiful" through his open window.
I assume he was referring to the car!

Yes. I am often hear from small children "mummy look at that car".

Happy Easter!
