Given the antics of the Gumball lot the very rare aeromax will may soon become even rarer.

Nothing much to add to this thread that hasn't been said shocked2, but here's my 2p-worth. Firstly however, AR08MMC is safely tucked up in our garage awaiting our return. SGT just in the process of replacing the battery, so hopefully a new one will hold its charge a bit better. smile

Turning to the Gumball, I can understand Charles's involvement in the early ones as it did not have the poor reputation that it now enjoys, and it could be seen as a vehicle to change perceptions about the Morgan marque.

As Simon has said with all the AeroMaxes already sold, it is now really an exercise in futility and I really don't get the brand associations. We haven't been told what the average age of the AeroMax buyer was, but I am sure it will have been well over 50 and consequently, not really the boy-racers who may get turned on by the Gumball with all it's reckless speed associations and even a couple of deaths.

It really makes one wonder whether there is a strategic brand plan for the Aero model, but if there is it looks like the essence of the brand is about to follow the Bentley GT-model and Aero's will be driven by footballers, divas and the like in future.

If this is true it will be a real diminution of the Morgan Aero marque; quite sad! coffee

Beg to differ, if you look at this youtube clip Gumball 2010 5.26 in, its an SS. love

Like others, for me there is to much bad press that follows the Gumball, we will have to wait and see how well behaved they are!! cop

Looks like both an SS and a aeromax taking part.



Last few seconds of this footage, and at 40 seconds below. doh




Just been asked by my 15 year old why MMC would want to be involved.
