Far too slow for California speed limits?
Sir, you may have to use 2nd or 3rd gear too. oldgit


California speed limits are not more than normal U.S. A 4/4 will do fine anywhere in the U.S. On the straights the speed limit will control. In the Mountains the 4/4's nimbleness is the equalizer. If there is a downside to a 4/4 it is the lack of acceleration to pass in short distances. Than there is the skill of the driver. This is where it is at. A couple of weeks ago I was given a ride to the top of a mountain. Many, many switchbacks. The Driver was one of the top Morgan Racers on the West Coast. We were followed by a motorcycle. At the restaurant at the top the Motorcycle Guy asked: "Who is driving that Morgan, I could hardly keep up". It was an interesting experience and I was not thrown about the cockpit which would have been the experience if I had been driving. BTW: He was driving a 2000 +8.
