Default Cheers from the UK Ratpackers.

We are settling into the UK. Went to the Heritage Car Museum today and what did we see going on in the parking lot but Morgan Owners Club holding a "Solo Rally".

It looked a lot like an Autocross without the speed

I haven't checked in here in a while so just touching base to let you guys know we are still alive

I always liked those Morgans though! Not particularly fast, but being so low, they handled really well! At least for their day!

Hey Tony: Hope all is well with you and the bride. Stop in a Harrods and send me a tin of the "crack cookies".

Will miss you at Carlisle.

Take care

Rich

Shrek, I knew you needed a project, keep us informed as it develops.

Rich, I did not realize how much I'd miss Carlisle until I can't go!

Ford, once we are in the house and settled we will have some fun, already having a bit now.

Driving the country roads is a blast in the BMW, would be AWESOME in a small two seater right hand drive. I'd freak driving a Vette over here!

Yeah, things happen that way. I'll down an extra BIG SMOKIE and a couple of dark brews in your memory.

Anything you need from this side of the pond?

BTW I didn't know how much I would enjoy a C5 until I got this one. But it doesn't have the "spousal delete" option like the 63.

Good to hear you are getting settled and enjoying yourself across the pond Tony. We will have to have a RatPack reunion when you get back.
