Thanks, yes it is great he has a job and also great he can put something useful on his resume if he wants a change of career.

I was talking to him about the new Morgan and the engine being shared with the Supra and BMW. He showed me a photo of the engine in the Supra covered in stacks of pipes and said they were talking about it at work. It is a pretty complicated engine and Toyota are doing special training programs to certify mechanics to service it, without the training you are not allowed to work on the car. However his employer has said that they don't expect to sell any so are not planning on sending any of the staff on the training programs. Pity as it would be good for him to have some qualifications in a specialist skill. I wonder if Morgan dealers are doing some similar training?

If I had a 4/4 and a spare 90K pounds I was allowed to spend I would keep the 4/4 and buy a MGB Abingdon edition from Frontline. It has the right gearbox smile
