Andy Wet suit works only when wet yes, but mine at least does keep out most wind. It was summer, absolutely tipping down, I hadn't got that far to go, was soaking wet anyway, and given I could park the Mog under a tree, rain was not forecast for the next day and a nice warm shower beckoned, no contest really.
The Barnstormer is the answer really, but to appreciate it, you do have to be dry on the inside... And for anyone who looked it up, and thinks "gosh that's expensive", yes it is, but it is genuinely water-proof, unlike a flying jacket which comparatively is made from blotting paper... rgds Martyn From: Andy Garlick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 April 2012 21:43 To: mogtalk2 Subject: Re: [mogtalk2] MidMog CT Martyn As I am sure you are aware a wet suit only works when it is wet , it does not keep out wind , so it would be the most unsuitable clothing for driving Morgans (or any other open car). I am sure that the Aeroleather Barnstormer is preferable in every respect.

I'd spent the day teaching kids how to canoe and as it was dry in the morning, had arrived sans hood. By home time it was heaving with rain and staying in the wetsuit seemed to be the sensible option even if it looked a touch odd. As far as practical normal clothing is concerned, I now favour my Aeroleather Barnstormer. Waterproof leather - the ideal for Morganing in all weathers. rgds Martyn On Apr 24 2012, Graham Wright wrote: No special clothing? Ahhh, hopefully things will dry a little then, so I can leave the wetsuit at home? :o)) Cheers, Graham W ----- Original Message ----- From: Martyn J Culling To: mogtalk2 Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 10:40 AM Subject: RE: [mogtalk2] MidMog CT As posted - do it. It's fun. This is a MSCC organised trial, so the course is laid out with Morgans in mind. The only partial excuse would be tyres close to legal minimum, but in that case, get new tyres as you need them anyway and do it! Other than getting your car muddy, it's one of the least damaging forms of motorsport and one of the few that requires no special clothing. That along with the free entry for newbies means all you need to find is the dosh for a day's petrol. rgds Martyn From: John Porter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 April 2012 08:56 To: mogtalk2 Subject: Re: [mogtalk2] MidMog CT Come on Roy, Don't be a wimp, your car will be set up okay as it is. Free entry for you. Nothing to loose if you don't fancy doing anymore once you've started you could always resign gracefully. You know it makes sense. A new exhaust should arrive today from Librands, but I still need to track down and fit a new engine mounting bkt. I'm waiting on two dealers to get back to me on that. Anyone got a spare one that I can replace for a 2000 zetec if I don't track one down by Saturday.

I've got it down on my list of thing to do before I'm ..? Roy.

They fit quite a lot of Librands pipes and they may have the standard pipes they replace available.
