I found this link on PH.

I think this is a great video (persevere and wait for the adverts to finish).

What a superb car. I want one !!

There was a great story, recounted by Jay Leno (probably in his column in Octane?) where he tells how he comes screaming round a corner in his MTW to see a police car with a mobile speed trap. He duly pulls over and waits for the Cop to approach (this is the US of A after all). After a few minutes waiting no-one approaches, so he walks back to the Cop car and asks why they are waiting.

"for what Sir? You were doing 42MPH and the limit is 50" laugh2

The beauty being you think you are like Richard Hammonds "driving God" (TG Bowler episode) but actually only just over a pootle laugh

Parahphrased through memory recall but the gist is correct, and I thought it was both amusing and interetsting.

Great Vid though, love the comment about getting buried in it laugh2

What brilliant site. Shame about the adds, not quite sure why petrol heads need mascara?

I love the Bugatti section. What a garage!

I have always liked the three wheelers, even though they weren't the first Morgans I saw.

I watched this video earlier at his "garage", and yes, it's a great video as several of his small clips are, they show the essence of the cars. And as mentioned there are some quite funny comments. Yes, getting buried in it should be simple. smile

"You can't avoid any bumps." "Go for the side." laugh2

"It's like flying a WWI biplane." laugh
