so much to respond to that i don't know where to start.
so i'll try to say that i feel this post has served it's purpose which was to start an open, honest, and surprisingly polite (hand clap by the way to everyone involved, i really expected there to be nasty name calling and typical forum troll behavior as i'm sure many of us have experienced or seen on other forums) discussion about morgan's past, present, and future build quality as well as how warranty issues are handled.
I think frequently when you have a special product like a morgan that is quite different from other automotive offerings both in production numbers as well as how they are produced it is easy to make the excuse or proclamations that other standards of car manufacturing (regardless of the number produced or the item's price point), don't apply to them. Or even that despite the premium paid for craftsmanship that the product should be tolerated as a work in progress or something that is frequently requiring tinkering by either the dealer or the owner themselves.
Sadly I think this is flawed logic as I think we would agree and expect a $10,000 custom made suit from a fine tailor to be of far superior build quality than that of a $500 one at the local department store that was mass produced by a factory of cheap labor and machines in china.
Ok, i'll stop beating this one to death but i was happy (albiet overwhelmed) by the amount of posts/attention it got in such a short time as i feel really passionate about my morgan 3 wheeler and now being a part of the morgan family that it pains me to see things that could be improved (without compromising who morgan is or was).
Here's to many more happy miles of motoring, even if that bevel box sounds ghetto as hell. I've sent my dealer a detailed list of things needing addressing as well as a 2 week window of time for which they can have my car as i will be out traveling. Fingers crossed everyone comes through on their responsibilities as well as quality of work.
