I've just turned 40. Despite attending Press Day at Geneva for the last 8 years and writing numerous articles on the cars for different publications, I've never driven one.
I've even been visiting the factory since 2001. The father-in-law was a Custody Sgt in Malvern for a while, so I'd go whenever we were to visiting family. Remember when you got a raffle ticket and you followed the yellow line?
Jonathan Wells offered me a go in a 3-wheeler last time I was there, but I politely declined as they scared me. I'd told him so at Geneva.
The plan formulated over numerous Balvenie cocktails this year in Geneva was that BHM was where I was going to lose my Morgan Virginity under the watchful eye of Keith.
I actually only really got the hots for a Morgan at the Goodwood FoS after loosing control of a MG TF135 on track following a Citroen DS3 unexpectedly stopping around a blind corner which I was taking flat-out. I got Black Flagged, taken out of the driving seat and told off. So I ended-up at Morgan where a nice lady was doing her best to get me to place a deposit for a (was it a Runabout?) at MacDonald Racing in Lanchester Co.Durham.
