What a wonderful day

Post by mal »

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can't help it I'm soooo elated :lol: :lol:
After the poor Moggy's been stuck in my garage since before Christmas, while I've been sorting the engine bay ( first time it's been off the road so long ) I couldn't resist shuffling the cars around and giving it a blast out in the country.... a few little details to finish off but I was desperate go have a run... Anyway, filled up with petrol and a wonderful 65 mile round trip with no problems :lol: :lol: people must have thought I was mad, I seemed to be grinning all the time :lol: :lol:
Must admit one thing..... I do like my A35 and have been using that for my little jaunts, but, driving the Moggy was like being in a luxury car :wink: :lol:
Anyone want to buy an A35 ????
Stopped half way up my first big hill to check things and took a couple of photo's....
Engine bay not quite as nice as Roger Rust's but it'll do me :lol:

What a wonderful Morris!
All that time off-road has been well spent.
What would Macgyver do..?

I've been out for a bit of a jaunt in the country in the mog today, but it's peeing it down with rain here :(

You are right I do like your radiator Mal
Might have to get the paint stripper out!!
Do you polish it or have you lacquered it?

Thanks Dunketh & Chrisd87 :wink:

Roger... I just polish the rad; hav'nt lacquered it, once it's in that condition it only takes a few minutes to clean, I also do the copper water hose :wink:

I've just read my initial post :roll: funny aint it.... I've had the Moggy coming up 4 yrs, driven it just under 40K and reading the post you would think I was a 17 yr old with my first car on my first drive out :lol: :lol: funny how these cars have an effect :-?

I've had some wonderful classic cars in my time Bill but never had the effects of being Moggy-less for a couple of months :lol: Must admit this is one car that I would never part with :wink:

I stopped just under halfway up Carlton bank, Nr; Stokesley, I was driving through the villages on my way to see my mate and as usual the Moggy has a mind of it's own when we come to the fork in the road, it went strait on up the bank :wink: I think it likes the views up there :o mind, so do I..
Did you have a drive out today ?
