Hello all. First post from an enthusiast in Melbourne, Australia. I would love to describe my garage full of Morgans but a mortgage and two teenagers in high school prevent that at the the moment - sigh!
Anyway, thought you might be interested in this recent review of the current Plus 4 that appeared in our largest internet auto site. For once the author actually actually seemed to understand the essence of what makes these cars special.

Welcome to the forum Roho, cheers My son is now 16, so I understand.

Reading the posting on here will not help you sleep at nights as you think of ways to sell the kids to buy a Morgan (or two). Start by creating a space in you garage. innocent

G'day Rod and welcome.

Jack: Our 18 year old was a bit embarrassed at first by all the people looking but after a few envious comments from her friends she is now very happy to go in the car.
I didn't have the heart to point out that people were looking at the car, not at her hide

Well, nothing's changed in Morgan cars for the last 70 years, hasn't it? smile
I can forgive him the odd technical slip-up 'cos I did like the tone of the review.
A great community you have here guys, keep it up.
I think my kids would love being ferried around in a mog. The alternative I have frequently threatened 'em with is a 2CV - they just go "ewww, yuck". Don't you just love winding up teenagers?
