Certainly has been a long time between posts. The Count has been ticking along well, just doing short runs here and there, much as a second car. Hasn't been on any long runs or seen any sights really.
The only really new thing is that it has redeveloped the overheating coil thing it started once before, though this time it really went to town.
So here we are, the Melbourne traffic got to The Count and it's decided to give up on the effort of running. I'd guess it's the coil as it has broken down from over heating, which itself underlines other problems, but you get that. The RACV have informed me its location is too dangerous to inspect so they're going to tow it. It's never been towed while registered before, only trailered unregistered, new experience. Can make it all the way around Australia but Melbourne traffic kills it. Oh well who needs dinner anyway...
The Continuing story of travelling around different areas of Australia in a 1955 Morris Minor. There is some history, planning and photos from previous travels in the Morris, though mostly from the around Australia drive in 2014, and more recent trips.
