Well I too had my first drive of the 3 wheeler today , and I LOVED IT. It's brutal and uncompromised; the assault on the senses is amazing. The exhaust was surprisingly loud - but then I think Morgan France's demonstrator is maybe a pre production one as the Morgan France guys say the ones being delivered to customers are a lot quieter. Still, it meant I really didn't notice the whine from the transfer box that seems such an issue with everyone. I loved the torquey motor and found the performance to be more than adequate. The cockpit is very snug , and as the pedals were set for standard french short arses I was driving with my knees up around my ears, but with the pedals set for my height I reckon I'd be quite comfortable in it. I can understand the need for the seat belt extensions as fastening the belt was a bit of a faff.

I took it from a spin around the bois de boulogne in wonderful spring sunshine, the car drawing smiles and waves all round (even from a couple of transvestite hookers which is maybe not such a recommendation...) I salute MMC for having the guts to bring out something so original and so different to everything else on the market. If money and space were limitless I'd definitely add one to my stable, but they aren't, and I can't see myself replacing the 4/4 with one.

After the 3 wheeler, driving back home my 4/4 in comparison seemed so refined, roomy, comfortable, practical and sensible it made me feel rather boring. But then I'm a longtime Volvo driver, so I'm used to that !
