Settle down guys....(-: Perhaps best not to slip into creating divisions as seems so simple to do, what might be the advantages in doing that..?
I am a self confessed CARsonova when it comes to machinery of many types, I like to look around and appreciate, touch, feel, listen smell...(-: Smell you ask..? Yeah well you ain`t lived until you have caught the aroma of Castrol R on a misty morning at the race track...(-: I have been fortunate to have hands-on with a variety of vehicles and have developed a fondness for a number of marques, therefore the idea of being some sort of mechanical monogamist lacks appeal for me. I do understand that it is in the nature of some to require to be faithful and perhaps overly so to some sort of ideal, but that might just seem to have potential to create division..? Note to self ....Don`t mention Brexit..(-:
I have identified myself as holding Luddite tendencies..(-: I have also typed perhaps too much on my ideals re my choice of a Morgan, also how and why I arrived at feeling most fortunate to find an old Morgan +8 filled the bill, and in truth even exceeded my expectations of it, in terms of my requirements for a recreational vehicle/fun car. Are there other vehicles that could replace my Morgan`s current duties.... yes, but not within my budget and not quite as well, thus the Morgan has inhabited my garage for the last 16 years or so and may stay there for a bit longer. Would I swap it for a new +6, the short answer is no... I do not usually do short answers..(-:
As for the evolution of Morgan I think it is great that the factory still exists providing folk with job and families with incomes when so many others are loosing their employment opportunities in the automotive and other UK industries, be it to robotics or culturally adopted inefficiencies compared to "foreign" workers prepared to work harder and for MUCH less... Perhaps try beaming up Netflix movie... American Factory.... a documentary with a difference ....?
As our American cousins can be heard to say... "Wake up and smell the coffee".. ?
In an attempt to get back on topic... I ever thought the 4/4 was THE quintessential four wheel Morgan with the potential to be the more balanced all rounder in it`s traditional configuration..
Just thinking in type, and happy to discuss in a friendly manner..
