I've been mad about cars for as long as I can remember.
I've had 58 so far, including 11 Morgans, 17 BMW's and 7 Porsches.........🙃
I like finding them and the buying process, I like owning them........but not for too long, I always want the next one....... I've never been one to take them to bits, it was never something I wanted to do, lack of patience I think, and chronic left handedness😆......greasing kingpins was the limit of what I could be arsed to do....!
BUT........ The joy of 'motoring', just for the hell of it, a quick thrash round the lanes, a blast down a B road has become more and more of a chore over the last few years.
The amount of traffic, crap roads, speed bumps, speed cameras, average speed zones, nutters who shouldn't be on the road(!!!!), all have combined to make driving..... hard work...no longer fun..!
Driving a Morgan has also felt dangerous on roads where I live, very exposed and vulnerable. I like the feeling of having Euro ncap 5 star metal around me now........
I can't see me getting another manual sports car, auto's/pdk etc are just so good that the faff of DIY gear changing seems a waste of time. I know all the old tosh about 'being involved' and being part of the process by changing gear, but it's so last century......
I do love a convertible though..........
