Julf, with respect, I NEVER even thought of you when I mentioned that 'type' of person. And I agree with all the points you have made - "friendly and curious people", etc.

However, to question one point you make - footballers and rappers driving Morgans. You've mentioned this twice now and I have to say that I think your fears are pretty unwarranted! wink

I cannot imagine Wayne Rooney (who favours the Bentley Conti GT Cab) driving a Morgan any more than I can imagine Snoop Dog, ICE T or... (actually, that is about my limit of their names! grin2 )

...Morgans just aren't ostentatious enough for the 'genre' of person you mention. They lack the bling-appeal; so, imho, you can relax! thumbs

(which, inversely, is the reason most of us love them!)
