Pic Of The Week: Open Season In A Morgan
Doing the top-down trip, classic British roadster-style
Open Season is still in full swing here at PH Towers, with at least two of our number planning open-air Christmas sojourns with topless lovelies. (Easy now, Riggers - Ed).
But we feel that there are those of you out there who might be faltering.
So to encourage you all to keep the Open Season spirit burning through a very cold Christmas, today's POTW features a Morgan doing its roof-down thing in a most British way, albeit in wrong-hand-drive form and on the wrong side of the road - suggesting this heroic British driver might in fact be German. (Right, stop that hissing at the back. Just because The Dam Busters may be on the telly over Xmas, there's no excuse...)
Yes, in the true spirit of Open Season, we applaud Morgan drivers (wherever they come from) for their almost universal antipathy to driving with the roof up. It's not as though it's difficult to put the roof up on a Moggie without losing skin, eh..?

However, having taken a slightly longer route home to enjoy the snow driving, my progress was halted by a Morgan struggling to make a bend with an incline. I ended up getting out and pushing him up the last bit.
The chap at the wheel said it wasn't actually too bad in snow...
The wuss had the roof up though, although I think the neighbourhood recorded about -18C that night.
I have a 1992 4/4 with traditional hood. I bought !swivel levers" to help raise it and no more scuffed knuckles!
I only use the hood when ABSOLUTELY necessary.
If on my own the tonneau keeps a coccoon of warm air round me and hat/gloves make it fine.
Its an addictive car to drive.

Anyhow, here are three red ones in a row outside a pub near Blackburn from this summer (The Millstone at Mellor - heartily recommended). I think there was some kind of club tour of the surrounding area as they were there all week (I was working nearby)
