Hi All, Tomorrow is my golden wedding anniversary. Earlier this evening I walked in from the garage and my wife asked "what were you doing 50yrs ago tonight"? I replied "trying to get my vintage car going". I had just ,on the eve of my wedding, put the finishing touches to a totally rebuilt BSA scout. She then asked me what I had been doing this evening,my
reply "trying to get my vintage Morris going. I thought maybe its time to give up. We left for the West Country the next day but our journey was curtailed by horrendous flooding and we only got as far a Bournemouth but had a wonderful week including a visit to the Montague Motor Museum as it was then and in a series of wooden sheds.It was great driving the little Scout around the roads and tracks of the New Forest.Not much has changed in that part of the world,just the volume of traffic. Just a little tale. Mike
