A Morgan that will go from 40 MPH to 80 MPH extremely quickly. A +8 or a +6 Roadster will do this. I don't think even a modern +4 (I have never driven one, but My Zetec powered '61 DHC does not) meets My requirement. In the Western U.S. the ability to pass 18 wheel trucks and RV's is paramount to Me. It is this acceleration, not the burble that IMO makes the +8 great! This week I will drive My +8 Bitsa from Seattle to Sun Valley, Idaho (a 2 day trip) . Pick up My Friend who owns a 2000 +8 and co-drive Her +8 to Strawberry, California (over the 10,000' Sonora Pass). Join the Northern California Club for "Flog Mog" which is back across the Sonora Pass to a couple of little towns in Nevada and then another Pass across the Sierra Nevadas to Sutter Creek, Calif for the final party. Then to Ashland, Oregon and back to Sun Valley where I will pick up My +8 Bitsa and return to Seattle. Whew! I am tired already.
