Okay, Okay, I know this isn't technically a Morris, but I am a Morris Ital owner, an avid BL fan and I own 3 cars from the BL-ARG-Rover stable - I feel I'm a paid up member.

Anyway, we were at the National the other week, and now we are on our next adventure, which sadly isn't in the Ital - not yet - but maybe next year - anyway here goes.

My partner and I are about to embark on a real endurance test for the beloved but sadly now much maligned Rover Metro - A 3000 mile Plus trip around western Europe.

Well, the time has now come and we will be embarking on our Metro Adventure on Saturday 23rd June 2007.

In order for you to keep track of us whilst we are away, we have set up an Online Blog that we can send photos and messages to whilst we are venturing around Europe. The site is http://metro-adventure.blogspot.com/ and there is the option after each post that we make for you to leave comments on what we've been up to, although we won't be able to see these till we get home, well unless we stumble upon an internet cafe bar in Amsterdam - but we cannot promise to be able to see straight by then....

The bare bones of the blog are online now, including stuff about the car and the route... and once we get to Europe we should be updating it daily... Hopefully we'll come back in one piece!

James & Keith
