Simon,
You say that and yet there are pages of new members being hampered on for having issues with their cars and not accepting it as part of the splendor of owning a low volume hand-built car...
But you can't hide behind a "hand built" image....being hand built should mean that issues like rubbing cooling hoses, badly fitting carpets, poorly made bonnets etc should be resolved there and then.
John, I don't believe anyone would disagree with you on these points. Poor quality can never be excused by adding the label 'Hand Built'. What, I believe, has been debated on TM, either directly or indirectly, are the effective methods to relay dissatisfaction with a product (be that a Morgan or anything else). At times, this last point seems to be the most contentious.
Krod, without wishing to state the obvious, this
is a discussion forum and therefore, there will be varying opinions. The key point is that everyone is welcome to state their opinion and preferably support it with facts. From day one of the M3W section to now, only one post has required removal and that particular post was taken down because it broke the terms of use of this site. As you know, links to the content of that post were published on here and they were not removed; therefore, whilst the post broke the terms of use of this site, people were able to seek it out should they wish to read it. Perhaps you have been involved with other existing, and defunct, Morgan discussion groups previously or perhaps not; however, TM offers a level of freedom of speech that matches, or in many cases, exceeds all others. The best part is, if people don't enjoy TM, there is a simple solution: don't log onto it
