While booting up my computer the other day I noticed an interesting news story, you know how it is one gets a list of top stories to look at before one goes into one’s mail account. This particularly one mentioned a new luxury tower block in Singapore with fantastic views. The twist though, was that the owner of an apartment pulls up at ground level and with the use of a finger print reader opens access to a lift with windows all round big enough for a Ferrari or two. Having driven in, the lift delivers the car and

It is amazing how quickly the summer has flown by, at the time of writing, by my reckoning summer lasted one week here in the UK. One week of thirty something centigrade. I guess that is too hot for open top sports cars if you don’t have air conditioning. Never mind this month we have the Brighton Speed Trials which often enjoys some nice weather. Last time though it did rain a little – fingers crossed for this year.   While on the subject of the Trials, it does coincide with the Brighton Centre or Sex and the City

I have just heard that over in Japan they are producing a smart phone that can double as a Geiger Muller Tube, i.e. a means by which radiation levels can be monitored. These levels in Japan are still of some concern. I understand members of the Japanese Morgan are OK but nevertheless the long term conditions over there must be uncertain. All this reminded me of when I bought my first Morgan. I was out visiting friends with the hood down when the Chernobyl disaster struck. Fall out came over Britain and from what I can remember settled in areas

It was quite an exciting time at the last Bird In Hand meeting; we had a welcome visit from Philip Langton of SGT, one of our local Morgan agents. He brought with him their Morgan three wheeler demonstrator for us to see. It looked so right in the car park and Philip was able to sneak it in near the entrance in pride of place. It was quite a cold night and it was at the beginning of the April that turned out to be one of, if not the wettest on record. However, this did not stop many of

I do hope it is not too late to sponsor you Frank. On our website you can find a link where you can give Frank your support, By the time you read this we hope Frank will have completed 4650 miles around Britain’s Coastal roads in his Morgan Roadster 100, with all monies going to support ‘Help for Heroes.’ Apparently, Frank was listening to the car radio one day, when he heard someone say that if you drive across North London to the coast and then turn left and keep going you would eventually arrive back at London on the
