Enjoyed the report MonteZooma but it has left me a little disturbed. Having read of a few 'defections' recently and then your 1000 mile report and Howard's 'Just doesn't get Morgan' thread it got me thinking. I am ready to move on my Mark II TT and am carrying out due diligence accordingly, current favourites are an order for a spanking new TT Mark III for delivery in the Spring or a Golf R (I have had a couple of examples of the Golf R32 so know what to expect). While at the same time just arranged for the Mog to go in to my local dealer on Friday for 'nipple greasing' and a full on discussion about suspension and brakes upgrade while I am there. Phillip's report on the non squeaking, non rattling SLK kept going around my head, what is it about a Morgan that makes me accept all of that plus the need for regular greasing and the very thought of a suspension and brake upgrade on a 12000 mile car. I know these discussions have taken place before and you either 'get' Morgan or you don't but when making the comparison of what I will demand from either the Audi or the VW versus what I put up with in the Mog is making me uncomfortable. Sure the Mog is an iconic design, it's British, quirky and fun but I will pay about the same for one of the German's without having to play 'pot hole hop scotch'. Maybe I'll take the winter to consider it's future....help!
