I'm sorry Steve, I think you are wrong on virtually all counts, and whilst I rarely counter a post like yours, I feel that it is necessary to comment.

We've met and you seem like a reasonable guy, your post here have pretty well all been constructive, but just occasionally you come out with something really odd, and that seems to be out of character.

I really don't get the feeling that our 4 wheeled friends here are in any way being anything else but supportive, and we are all practical men [and the occasional lady] who understand the car and its' foibles, this doesn't mean we are happy to pay out even more money to have the car put into the condition it should have arrived in.

In dealing with what we perceive to be a small friendly company, rather than a faceless conglomerate like Mazda, who Graeme mentioned, we rather expect a slightly more positive service, and there are many who don't feel they are getting it, especially people who are hours away from a dealer. For many of the UK owners, things are merely a little inconvenient, but for others they are just downright impossible. I cannot even imagine having to take my car on a 6 or 8 hour trip to a dealer!

When we have the luxury of a forum to compare experiences, it is inevitable that when a common problem is identified, it will be discussed and where possible request made to the manufacturer to sort it out, we are customers after all, and have paid a lot of money for the pleasure, and no-one likes to be taken for granted.

So, like Hugh, I'm still not really sure what you are saying, is it that you feel we are all complaining for the sake of it, or that we are not being supported by other Morgan owners or that we should be enjoying our £30,000 [$50,000] plus, toys, and not be complaining in the first place? Maybe non of these, and I completely misunderstood what you were saying.
