What bad habits did we learn driving big block 1960s muscle cars?
having grown up and learning to drive in late 1960s - early 1970s muscle cars where we would drag race from traffic light to traffic light. You learn how to "light up" (spinning with smoke) the rear tires coming out of the hole (standing stop). Once the tires hook up (stop spinning/smoking) your off to the races. When you hit the tachometer's RPM red line in 1st gear you would power shift on to 2nd gear. Power shifting is not lifting up on the gas as you hit the clutch pedal part way in while quickly slamming the gear lever into 2nd gear making the tire chirp again. Now comes that big grin across my face!
It's always been fun having a heavy foot but expect things to break!
The Morgan is one of the most enjoyable vehicles to drive - bar none!
Being so far away from any factory service has given me a chance to explore in taking it apart, it's not that hard to work on and to understand how everything works. It's just getting the Morgan specialized parts which are expensive and take time.
Still a believer! and it's saved me money in not buying another sports car
