Another run with the BMC-Leyland club, up Mt Macedon and then through to Trentham for lunch at the pig and Whistle pub, and the Count didn't miss a beat. Actually it really liked the colder weather, always seems to, especially if there is a bit of moisture in the air, makes it run very well. The run went well and i wasn't always the slowest car on the trip, though I think everyone passed me on the way home, even those who had previously been slower. The only difficulties on the trip were posed by cars in front slowing down before the climb on the steeper sections of Mt Macedon, which then killed my momentum and thus when they started pulling away again I had nothing left to accelerate. Oh well, it is only 948cc after all.
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.

Just a quick run down the street today, only because of the threat of yet more rain, so too lazy to walk.
Not often that the street in front of this house is clear, so too the chance and parked up. Not too often you get the change to park in front of a house for sale at near $4 million AUD! Think it would be right at home in the garage...
