Getting Redfive ready............((change of car))

FLYING BANANA · 28th July 2018, 20:24

............................. In between the rain showers For a wee trip up to Ledbury tomorrow. We will be staying at The Feathers hotel where we will be meeting up with my brother-in-law Michael, along with my neice Laura and her boyfriend Ollie. Be having a nice meal and possibly a beer or two.

Every year Michael and I treat ourselves to a special day out. We usually have a steam train trip with all the trimmings, we go Premier Class. But because this year we are doing something a bit different, mainly seeing as I have moved to Saltash.
So on Monday we will be driving to the Morgan car factory in Malvern where we will be hiring two Morgan's. One for Ollie and Laura and the other for Michael and I. Laura does not drive anymore as she has a health issue which has put paid to her driving.

We will be swapping around driving the two cars. I'll have a camera, or two, with me. No doubt we will stop for lunch somewhere, no booze though for us drivers. We collect our cars at 09.30 and have to return them by no later than 16.30.
Afterwards we will be going home to our separate homes, although I might book the Feathers for the night. Save me getting too tired driving back.

So should you see us on the A38-M5 and into Ledbury, don't forget to wave, flash or toot. Hopefully the weather will stay kind.
I'll update the report.

Have a good time Bob, Morgans are really nice cars, Kirsty and I had a dream car ride with the Sporting Bears Charity in a Morgan at The NEC a few years ago.

Hi Bob. Love Morgan’s. Some time this year, myself, brother and a few Morganites are going to book a trip round the factory. You can watch the various operations on how they are built. Wish I could afford to wait for mine to be built, but, hey ho. Think I might be gone before I got mine by the looks of the waiting list.Enjoy yourselves on the day out, but I think it is probably raining.

FLYING BANANA · 29th July 2018, 09:45

......................... Going to Ledbury.

Seeing how the gale force wind has removed the Bears cover I'll be taking her instead. No point trying to re-cover the car with a soggy cover. So Redfive and Banana Are remaining under their covers.

So the Feathers in Ledbury are in for a bit of a shock as there car park is accessed off of the High Street by a archway that goes under the pub.
The plan is to leave about 1pm and drive on up. Will still be via the A38-M5 and onto Ledbury.

My brother waited for 3 years to get his, and that was in the 1970's.
