I'm reminded that when I ordered my first new Mog (which was my 3rd Mog) a good friend who'd had his since 1969 warned me that I'd have an awful first year sorting it, but after that it would be great forever. He was right. Remember also that there were times when people collected their new cars from the factory and drove them straight to Uncle Melvin's to have them put together again. Charles sorted the quality out so that it was no longer necessary .
Once it settles it's a strong, reliable car. (I suppose mine will blow up now,)
