Having read PeterJ's text I'm a little worried. You see I've had a 981 Boxster S for 9.5 years, far longer than any previous car I've owned, and simply because I can't think of anything to replace it with, and for all the reasons Peter mentions.
Over the last few months I've considered a Morgan Plus 4, had a look at a few and been for a drive, but that list of Peter's keeps coming back to haunt me. I'm not one of the people who worship at the shrine of the manual gearbox, if you want connection to the car buy one without ABS for the excitement of cadence braking, no synchromesh on the gears, for the fun of double de-clutching and maybe carburettors for the morning joy of juggling the choke.
So I'm not a purist and I'd be buying the automatic, but stopping to put the hood up when there's a downpour instead of slowing down and pressing a button; I don't know. I did all that with my first car, an Austin Healey Sprite back in the 60s, and what was fun as a teenager isn't as exciting in your 70s.
Morgan drivers, please tell me why I should buy one.
