Did you know?
The typical waiting time for a Morgan car is between 6 and 12 months.
The Morgan has never been crash tested, and comes without ESP traction control.
There aren't any airbags either, so in reality, the Morgan won't be one of the safest cars to get behind the wheel of.
Despite that there's no shortage of takers for their cars, not even with a £65K to £69K price tag.
You could always consider the Morgan three wheeler for a fun experience.
Yours at just £34K. https://www.morgan-motor.com/3-wheeler/

Your beautiful car and I were both born in the same year. The car is in a lot better shape than I am.. 🤣

It's in a lot better shape than most of us Pappy. We have had a bonus though. In order to keep the old car in good order, it lives in a garage that is heated, our modern VW Golf lives there too. that VW is now 21 years old and still going strong. The heater is actually an oil filled radiator that runs off electricity. We use the overnight cheap rate electricity by way of a timer.

WoW!!!...
 

Sunday night 9.45pm here and am binge watching Eastenders that I record thru' the week ... did 3,000 steps today and hopefully by end of next week will be up to my goal of 5000, ( 10,000 far too much for this 72yr old) I reckon this is an achievable goal and if if I can keep this up I'll be happy
I'm not overweight ( yet ) but I need to move more to improve my BP/HR and stop being a couch spud so I do laps around the house as well as walking around the couch, up the hall, into the backyard ... my cat looks at me like I'm a mad woman lol

An MG TF Holly, much sought after these days but when they came out in October 1953, it seemed dated. It has the same engine as mine albeit tweaked and improved, but the opposition were light years ahead. Or so it seemed. If, as the motoring press called it dated, why is The Morgan Motor company still producing a similar style of car to this day, and very popular it is too.

As a onetime avid motorcyclist, I read that the British motorcycle industry took a big hit when the Japanese entered the market with all their innovations. The article I read stated that British traditionalism left their motorcycle designs to stagnate at the time. I always had a soft spot in my heart for the old Nortons though.

Maybenot. I had to drop my goal from 5000 to 3000 which I pretty much ace everyday. I’m 11 years older than you and when I was 72, 5000 was very reachable. I’ve done the same thing around the house if weather is bad. Good weather, I’m out walking by 5:30-600am.
 
Good onya Pappy, I hope that I can mange 3000 steps a day if I reach your age, I've only just started this routine as well as using protein powders to maintain the little bit of muscle I've got now, ... GP told me a week ago that my iron level was too low, as well as low vit D and high cholesterol , so to 'move it or lose it' and take supplements since my diet is poor ...
I'm all enthused right now and trying to eat 'proper' food etc, but I'm hoping to stick with it

What's the storyline in Eastenders with you this week in Australia ?.... :D
 
I have to go out for milk and it's raining so I'm putting a waterproof coat on that I haven't worn for about a year, and in a pocket I've found a Duo-Bounty Bar. It's probably long past it's sell by date so I should'nt eat it. I'll just take the wrapper off, well it looks OK, so I'll take a little bite, mmmmm, delicious, this'll keep me company on the way to the shop, might even buy a few more Bounty Bars. :)

How's the garden going Aneeda? Are the miniature roses surviving?

All but one looks great. The one went into shock and loss all its leaves but, as you know, that does not mean it is dead. Just waiting to see if it will come back. It does not yet have that dead rose look 😳

Also I bought some annuals yesterday never seen crystal sky petunias before OMGOSH so lovely. They are on sale so might buy a few more 🤦🏻‍♀️. I don’t buy new clothes, jewelry, make up, nope, but plants OMGOSH I can not resist plants.
 
Just scheduled a company to come haul everything away. Thought I'd made the appointment for this week but ended up two weeks from now. That's what i get for jumping online first thing on a Sunday morning. Oh well, it's done and soon there will be an empty house for me to vacate. Guess I'll have more time to toss what I can before then.
