Old thread I know, but wasn't the Tesco 99 also 10% or higher Ethanol?
Or am I mixing that up with something else...

That works!

Bet that was a sight - 30 Healeys. I see a few at Prescott and one of my Morgan pals now owns a 3000 after selling his +4 Morgan.

Thanks for sorting that - I shall input the other details once I have the car, hopefully next week.

Cheers,

That sounds like a great road trip Rob! I have done LeJog in my '76 Morgan, but sold that car 4 years ago. The present one has done a Highland trek. I shall be looking for some interesting road trips next year, in the Z. Fixing the problem. May be easiest just to shorten the colour name? It's a nove...

Ta Rob.
Probably just me. Thanks for the prompt response.
I'm sure I said it 7 years ago - nice FrogEye

Just gone to update the colour of my (yet to be collected) Z3 1.9 which is Palmetto Green.
Select the relevant colour in the drop down. When submitting get an error: The external colour is too long for the field - maximum 25 characters allowed.
Have others experienced the same

Cheers,

So I understand.
Colour leapt off a web page at me. I had to go and view!

I have found another 1.9 Z3 which I hope to collect next week.
When I sold my last Z in 2010 I also sold the Bentley manual.
Anyone got one they wish to sell to a returned owner?

That didn't take long. A Palmetto Green Z3 1.9, 1999. Deposit paid this afternoon. Hopefully collect next week, trading in the commutacar Fusion. They are changing the rear exhaust for a standard part - drone of the sports exhaust was awful above 40mph. No way I could do long distances without ear d...

As someone who found the Z3 replacement Z4 not very attractive I think that looks awful.
But, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At around 11:30 this morning, heading south.
No point waving from my Fusion!

I have been meaning to attend this one for several years. One of the organisers also competes at Prescott in a very tidy MGA. Unfortunately, this year was bad timing, with Prescott Breakfast Club early on 20th (several friends went to the car show from there) thence on to Madresfield Court for a Mor...

Did this route with some Morgan friends 4 years ago (anti-clockwise that is).
I'd do it again any day :)

They'd need a good set of binoculars or a telescope from Snowdonia though

Did anything ever happen over this?
Just curious - used to live in Cleeve and occasionally used the Apple Tree. Now not much further away in Cheltenham.
I know it's an old thread but I sold my (so far) one and only Z in 2010...

Thank you Sir!
I have my eye on one or two

Things seem a little quieter here than 7 years ago?
Maybe it is just me, being used to a busy Morgan forum.

Cheers,

After trading my 1.9 Z3 for a Boxster S in 2010, life is moving in near full circles again. I still own the Defender 90 I had back then but a different Morgan 4/4. The Boxster lasted a year before I decided that possible major engine problems meant time to move on. After several not so interesting m...

It's probably all the little woodworms doing a mexican wave. :D ... but it is strange - when I'm in the frog, almost every classic car will give me a wave - I even had a friendly wave from an Aston Martin once! :shock: Cheers R. :roflmao: :roflmao: Very good Robert :!: Know what you mean about clas...

Red 'T' plate Z3 appeared at the Morgan Autotest at Madresfield (near Malvern) yesterday.
Didn't have time to chat to the owner/driver - too busy marshalling.

Cheers,

Not had any response to my waves either...

Don't get that with Morgans - it's more like a brief party if you see another one

Cheers,

Blue 2.2

Thanks for the chat. Hope you enjoyed the visit?

Cheers,

Kept the hood up until replacing the rear screen a couple of weeks ago - didn't want the splits to expand any further! Plus, having very fair skin, it doesn't take long to burn if I've forgotten the sunscreen! Good run up to Snowdonia on 11th, cap off all the way. Sadly the return journey on 14th ev...

Stayed for 3 nights.
Great service with a smile. Local produce and a great chef who worked magic!

Local real ale and a good selection of wines.
We will return!

I can think of worse places than KL to be stuck! :D Air filters on jet engines - have to be a blinking big freeflow filter :roflmao: Pidgeon doodoo - should try the industrial estate where I work, every building must have 3 or 4 gull nests on again this year.

I have Doug's bushes, just need to find the time to get the car to my garage...

If you haven't put it on eBay yet, I'm in Cheltenham, work just off Jn 9 M5. Can raid cash machine later...

Could meet part way after work or on Sunday... I'll be near Rugby on Saturday...

Thanks for that, different black, means I'd have to repaint.
Mine's Schwartz II code 668.

PLease give first bidders the first choice, if they don't acquire them in the end.

Which black paint code?
Chrome ones on mine are too bling for me!

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

:oops: Well chaps, after leaving work, and before driving home, I thought I'd better have another quick look. I now feel suitably :oops: . I wondered why there were two litle knobs in the centre of the lower run to lift the blocker up, when one would have done (can you see where this is going?? :rof...

I'll have another look at the drawings. Price? No idea. Windblocker prevents opening the box. Spent some time yesterday trying to see how to disengage it from the two pillars, but there doesn't appear to be anything obvious in the ratchet mechanism where it is attached. If its not raining tonight I'...

Thanks, but, first 3 words: No roll hoops...

I'm not going to fit any either. Just want to know how to get the lift up windblocker (and possbily its mounting posts) removed.

Cheers,

No roll hoops on my car, so the mountings for the mesh windblocker go down through the plastic trim either side of the rear storage box. It's a BMW item. The wind blocker prevents use of this storage box, which I could really do with when on longer trips, plus it covers the hood space when folded do...

I'd rather they didn't indicate, than indicate incorrectly, as many seem to do!

I recently found I get logged out for no reason, from this and a Mog forum - some mornings can take a few attempts before I remain logged in.
It's to do with our work system. Security reasons prevent me from explaining...

Yup, I realise that. There will be several Morgan owners attending - for just the reasons you mention :D Spend a lot of my time at Prescott Hill Climb (marshal & Hill Controller), plus a couple of Morgan events at Curborough in an official capacity - all great fun! Before Prescott I ran a Rally ...

I've seen this one on another forum a long time ago.

I've just gone to reply to a post in the Z3 section (re: number plates), but get the above message when clicking on Submit or Preview.

Can't remember how I got round it the last time!

Any suggestions?

This event has been held for several years. On Saturday it comprises a 60 miles (approx) Cotswold tour. Any vehicle can be used for this - I used the 90 last year as my '76 Morgan was having some chassis work done. I plan to use one of the Mogs this year. On Sunday it is more classic car based.
