Dear Boys, I respect all of you and can see both main points of view. It's good to see so much testosterone making its way onto the pages, but hasn't this now reached an impasse? Everyone has a point here, and none of you are idiots or evil, so may I suggest that we need to move on. It's getting a bit personal, and I don't think further posts are going to add anything.
I love my M3W - warts and all - but am interested in any possible improvements or solutions to the front end issues - to add to the debate, my nearside steering arm whacks the exhaust on anything but quite small bumps, and I'd love a cure for this too! But I have no regrets and lick my little car regularly (almost).
A friend of mine is convinced that the perfect car is boring, and none of us want that, but we do want the best and safest piece of 3-wheeled fun we can get, and are all keen motorists by dint of simply being on these pages. May I humbly suggest that this thread should be closed?
