And why do you assume that 'CM' has had to apply a corporate whip? Who are you to say the dealers don't support it then??
No reason to worry. We have many friends in common. You have contacts with dealers you trust and trust you. Would it not be a shortcut simply ask them how they feel about the new logo..with mutual assurances of discretion of course.
Personaly I'm getting fed fed up with these anti 'CM' (why cannot anybody use his full name - Charles Morgan) and MMC jibes
I don't think any harm was meant Phil. Certainly, we are all gentlemen enough to call Mr. Morgan whatever he wishes to be called. Can you check on that? Most naturally assume that with his grandfather enjoying the moniker of "HFS" and his father "PM", that he was pleased with "CM".
On what you call jibes..that is a simply a function of we see the proper expression Morgan love. Some owners express it as a deep loyalty and desire to protect fellow owners first and foremost. Others feel the same love is best expressed by seeing no fault in the company or its management and being intolerant of any comment of either save praise. Of course, the affection of both groups for the car is without question.
I have no problem watching either reaction, though I believe the former inevitably helps the company more. This is a small firm without an in-house development facility anymore and market research is not done. Discussion groups can help in both areas, if we are frank.
However, if you feel any remarks or opinions critical about the cars, the company, or its management (since May 2006 Charles Morgan officially shares the vote on all executive decisions with Matthew Parkin, Tim Whitworth and Steve Morris) are improper and unwelcome, we can refrain from offering them.
