Rather good that they have grasped the nettle. I'd be impressed if I was an owner.

A friend who owns a red car just received this email.
Fair enough, they have owned up and are dealing with it. More than many companies have done.

CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Dear Ferrarista,

We regret to inform you of a cyber incident at Ferrari, where a threat actor was able to access a limited number of systems in our IT environment. As part of this incident, certain data relating to our clients was exposed including names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers. Your data may have been included as part of this incident. However, based on our investigation, no payment details and/or bank account numbers and/or other sensitive payment information, nor details of Ferrari cars owned or ordered have been stolen.

We were recently contacted by a threat actor with a ransom demand related to such customer data. As a policy, Ferrari will not be held to ransom as paying such demands continues to fund criminal activity and enables threat actors to perpetuate their attacks. Moreover, it does not fundamentally change the data exposure.

Upon receipt of the ransom demand, we started an investigation in collaboration with a leading global third-party forensics firm and have confirmed the data’s authenticity. In addition, we informed the relevant authorities and are confident they will investigate to the full extent of the law.

We have worked with third party experts to further reinforce our systems and are confident in their resilience. We can also confirm the breach has had no impact on the operational functions of our company.

We take the confidentiality of our clients seriously and understand the significance of this incident and for this reason we have notified you promptly.

If you would like to contact Ferrari for additional information, please email us at customerservice@owners.ferrari.com or privacy@ferrari.com where a team will be able to assist you.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise sincerely for this event and rest assured we will do everything in our power to regain your trust.

Yours sincerely,

Benedetto Vigna
Chief Executive Officer

I like them all but this was so ahead of it's time and the Aston Green one looks sublime.

Had I the available cash and the certainty that MMC will still be around for at least the next ten years to support the car I would have one in a heartbeat, but that last part I feel is getting a little concerning following their recent history, that and Simon no longer available as a brilliant supporting engineer for the Aero chassis would need a lot of thought I feel before any investment.
Personal view as always.

I had a wind deflector fitted behind the seats, I sold it in the end for £50, the mesh material started to fray and fall apart, they are quite delicate.

If you take out the fuel sender the opening may be wide enough to find a way to fish the pipe out ... if I remember from mine the pipe was a length of metal tube.... can't see it doing much if it is left in the tank if removal proves too difficult

It must be something in the air in Gloucestershire, this is the second one for sale in the county and this is a private sale of an ultra low mileage one, as is Henry's.

These really are the apex of Morgan cars.

Those who aspire to the raw performance and rarity of a T70 have little interest in McLaren modernity. Age old question of numbers v value. Don't take my word for it, listen and watch Steve Sutcliffe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JU86OBAbbo

Of course those interested in a T70 are more likely to be inbterested in an McLaren M8 from the same era, rather than a modern McLaren. But we arent talking of a T70 but of a pretty kit car imitation. So the argument is still valid.On the one hand you have a kit car and on the other you have the product of an F1 manufacturer in carbon fibre with a racing engine and all the facilities and civilities you might want in a daily user.

I have driven a couple of modern McLarens - they really are something special. But I accept that not everyone thinks the same way. Morgan are a tribute to that!

Morgan Spares says there should be a pickup line attatched to the 90 degree fitting, extending to the bottom of the tank.

Should I be worried about the old pickup flopping around inside the tank?

Hello Adrian,

I don´t know where you live -perhaps you wrote it somewhere in your posts but never mind- some days ago I have seen the informations you are looking for on the website of Morgan Park (Germany).

Wind deflektor Plus Four + Plus Six from Morgan Park

No connection just a happy customer with a trad...

It would be worth contacting Morgan Park as they are already producing after market stuff for the CX series and their quality is unsurpassed.

I am going to change my front springs this year on the 2002 Plus8.
The current set up is fine but the main springs are looking”well used” so I would like to change them. New spring with bearing as minimum.
Two areas of debate in my mind.
1. Discernible improvement in suspension feel/performance?
2. Rebound spring fit. I have heard that a previously good fit was lost after an SSL upgrade. By that I mean a gap at the top of the spring where it was previously a good fit as just hand turnable as recommended for standard setting.
The parts cost difference is enough to question the value of any improvement. It will be DIY fitting.
I don’t mind an initial set up and later adjustments after bedding in.

One of the main benefits of the SSL RS kit is that suspension control can be set and maintained at optimum (zero static pre-load on rebound spring) in turn providing the optimum suspension travel control and roll resistance within the limits of sliding axle suspension. This is achieved by the adjustable collars on main spring. Consequently your concerns regarding rebound spring fit are unfounded, accepting that adjustments have to be made on fitting as per instructions, and checked later after settling. Anyone who suggests otherwise misunderstands the principles of the kit.

BTW you do not need to use the car in competition to immediately appreciate the improvement, just find a bumpy poorly surfaced road. If you don't have any in Wales we can offer untold opportunities in Norfolk innocent

I'm not getting fuel to the carbs.

Replaced fuel pump, no juice!

Sucking on line is fruitless.

Air Pressure didn't find leaks in line/tank. Line is clear.

Disconnected the pickup line at the top of the tank to reveal a 90 degree fitting, with nothing inside to get to the petrol.

What should be attached to the inside of the fitting to reach near the bottom of the tank?

As the studding takes the strain, undoing nuts a turn or so each side at a time so the camber plate remains roughly level, each stud will become firm and won't require any support from the ground. Ensure the car is jacked and supported high enough for the kingpin to be fully withdrawn from below though, when stub axle rests on lower suspension arm.

I initially used 6mm studding with washers but 8mm will just fit in the 5/16" clearance holes and would be better, although washers still recommended.

Thanks all, with the studding way of doing it - does the bottom end of the threaded rod just sit on the floor and you wind the nuts down towards the ground lowering everything above it as it goes?

Hi Sospan,

It's very difficult to judge how much difference the SSL set--up makes, but my very first practice run at the first Barbon hillclimb meeting after installation was 3 seconds faster than my best competition time there the previous year. The car feels much more planted, progressive and predictable to me, and thus much more confidence-inspiring. SWMBO had her first competitive season last year, and by the end of the season she was only 2 seconds slower than me at Aintree (aaaargh! - doesn't augur well for my coming season....). She's clearly naturally pretty quick, but I do believe the car is also much easier to drive quickly with the SSL set-up.

Whether that translates into any real value for just road use, I'm not sure, but certainly our car is much more user-friendly with the SSL front set-up. If you are ever in our neck of the woods, you are welcome to try our car, and form your own opinion.

Hope this helps,

Dave

I am glad you recommended this Battery. Not only did it fit without modification, but the specs are amazing, and my cold engine started instantly where typically with the stock factory battery it used to take a good amount of cranking for the engine to fire up. It's made by Yuasa. The guy at batteries Plus Store said this was a deluxe battery not offered by them. I was able to buy at a local interstate store for $165 in the US.
