Two events in four days kicked of the 2015 year, and it was only January! On January the 1st the now-regular gathering in the ancient town of Stony Stratford saw the car parks closed to regular visitors and the high street choc a block with exotica. (See my report in last week’s VeloceToday.) The big one though was to follow just three days later on January 4th, at the Bicester Heritage Sunday Brunch Scramble in England. The rapidly expanding quarterly meeting where the news was that registrations had closed over a week before due to being heavily oversubscribed. 800 cars were due with Morgan being the major invited marque. A sunny day as was originally forecast and everyone was hopeful.
All 51 Morgans. The chill didn't stop them from coming, and coming, and coming.
