Sometimes while I’m driving my Morgan I think about writing. And sometimes while I am writing I think about driving my Morgan. They are both such enjoyable pastimes that come together for me on this Blog. I have owned a 1966 Plus Four for the last ten years.  My wire wheels have taken me down many roads where I’ve met lots of interesting people. The unique nature of these old, classic British sports cars just seems to attract great stories and quirky experiences. On this website I will share some of them with anyone interested in Morgans, and where they lead you to.

A Double Belled Euphonium

It’s made of brass, it was finely handcrafted in 1907, and like a Morgan it is a work of art. But what the heck is it?

I'm Horny

I find myself thinking way too much about the horn on my Morgan lately.  It only makes one sound, and I wish it was more expressive and conveyed a wider variety of feelings and emotions.

SKIP

Skip's Bucket List

Bucket Lists are made to be TICKED OFF! That’s why when my new friend Skip came up to Canada we got right down to it and made one of his dreams come true.

Too Much Information on my Electronic Ignition

You’ve heard of people that read the copy on the entire cereal box at the breakfast table. It gets worse……  I read the entire packaging on my new Electronic Ignition!

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Sometimes with a Morgan you just have to improvise.  If your parking break is not working and you are parked on a hill – don’t worry.  You can always find a rock some where.

Too Much Junk in the TRUNK

Everything is relative, and when riding a bike you learn to travel light. The same applies to a Morgan because without a trunk it is hard to carry tons of useless junk with you everywhere.

Spike Belts. I Hate Spike Belts!

If the sign says “Driving Further Will Result in Serious Damage to Your Tires” pay attention.  I didn’t and it cost me $1000.

Investing in Morgans Pays Dividends

Forget about Mutual Funds, Bonds and ETF’s. I should have just bought a big huge old airplane hanger full of old Morgans

An Unexpected Prize

I won first prize for my old Morgan at the largest British Car Show in Canada.  The funny thing was that I am totally inept when it comes to restoring cars.  Plus I didn’t even know that I was entered in the contest.

It is like Mecca for Morgan owners. What to expect if you travel to Malvern Link to visit the factory where Morgans are built.

No Parking?

Things of beauty need to be shared. Morgans are not only beautiful, they are unique, whimsical and fun to look at.

Is That an MG?

People often mix up Morgan’s and MG’s. To the untrained eye, they do look the same, but, as you may learn, they are oh so different!
