Hello all! My name's Scott and I'm the new guy on campus here...I live in Alabama, a southerly state in the great country of the United States. In what little perusal I've done on the site, it doesn't look like there's a large contingent of American people here on Talk Morgan - but then, that would make sense as I've only ever seen one Morgan in 4 years here in the States. If y'all know of anyone that I could get in touch with to let me know who might own one of these great cars anywhere near me, I'd love to learn of them so I could link up with some people.
...as to why I joined Talk Morgan...
I've had an affinity for Morgans ever since I saw a Plus 8 on an old TV show I used to watch with my grandfather. I immediately Googled it and found out what kind of car it was, etc. it's downhill from there. That was a mere four years ago, and the obsession has only worsened. I'm 18 now and would like nothing more than to be driving a 4/4 Sport back here in the States.
I'm not new to "British Iron" as it were - as I'm the proud owner of a 1966 MGB -and, say what you will about the marque, as I'm not sure what the current relations are between MG and Morgan owners
but the car's been nothing but great for me, and I rely on it daily to meet my transportation needs.
As you may have guessed, not having introduced what Morgan I owned or whatever proper protocol is...I don't own a Morgan...yet. As I'm 18 now, I think if I did indeed own one, I might be one of the youngest owners in history! They're not exactly cars that people of my economic stature(University student...) can readily afford.
However, in 3-4 years I will turn 21, and thanks to some work with and through my parents, I plan to take delivery of a 4/4 Sport sometime on or near my 21st birthday. It will vary slightly depending on finances ...and...worst of all, import/export laws that the U.S has, but it should fall somewhere in there.
Until then, I plan on making a trip to Malvern to check out the operation and test drive a few of what I believe to be the most eloquently hand crafted automobiles in the world.
I hope I'm able to learn a lot through this Forum and meet some great owners of this marque.
Wishing y'all a great week.
Cheers, Scott
