Hi all - just got back in after buzzing around Bristol in a brand new (unregistered) +4. A great test drive, with sun shining too!
And nearly got the hang of the handbrake....

Good man. Hows the grin? It only gets bigger & better in my experience. Welcome to the club.

hope you can sleep tonight,
but I doubt it!!!!!!!!

Good man!
I've just been out in a '98 Z3 as a potential replacement for my MX-5. Sun shining to the north of you too - or is it a reflection from your teeth

Cheers,

I may have missed the rest of the information (in your previous posts) but was this a test drive, or is this your car that awaits registration?

Whatever the case, it sounds like an enjoyable drive.

just a straight test drive, and chat about prices, options, build slots etc....I think it's looking like Xmas or New Year 2011 to get my very own +4; will just have to be patient - and maybe hire one for a weekend!

Here's some pics of an (almost) identical model; the one I drove had no bonnet straps or the full bumper. Eveything else the same, including colour:

thanks for all the nice replies!

ps - if you click on the larger pic, you'll get a hi-res version

Jon,
If you trawl the web pages of the various dealers, you may well find an unregistered car with the spec you want -- I did and am now the very happy owner of an Aston Martin Mendip Blue +4 with Grey Leather upholstery. Just fantastic!!

I wish you well with your search!!

When I had my first test drive, I had to go back for more.

@Robbie - thanks; I think the wait will be better for the bank manager tho...

@Steve - yes; it seemed to finish far too soon!

Welcome to the Forum Jon.

A Great Slide Show as well - How did you set that up - my Photobucket Slide Shows are slow with small pics.

Now back to the Comment above - After a factory visit and a test drive - that is the worst kind of torture (or should I say Masochism) if you have to wait a year. You will miss so much fun in the interim. Get driving ASAP.

Oh God, everybody is going to hate this - but have you ever thought of buying a well -sorted, used ( but not very old) car
You might find that somebody else has fixed all those little endearing but pain in the bum niggles that fresh from the factory cars have.

And you will let someone else pay the first year or two's depreciation - even Mogs depreciate in the beginning...

Cheers,

Now there's a thought! Nice one Graham

In 'Lellow's' Case, it seems to go up in price every time it is sold on. We lost nothing?

- when you make your slideshow in Photobucket, there is a cunning little drop-down menu right at the bottom on the right, below the "Choose a style" selector. You can choose from 3 different sizes,
which is nice....

I'm slightly tempted by the idea of second hand buying, but have really geared myself up for the whole new-Morgan experience: getting spec and colour just right, getting photos of and maybe seeing it during the build. I think it's programmed into my brain now, as I've been looking forward to it for quite some time (you may notice the factory visit was 2007.....). My grandparents used to talk about having a 3-wheeler, and they always liked the look of the new-fangled 4 wheels, but it was never really suitable for them
Anyway, I shall probably end up hiring one for the odd weekend or 3, just to remind myself what I'm missing (er, that doesn't work does it?!)
