My Morgan’s future with me is safe, despite the reduced frequency of use, it seems I still use it enough to justify keeping it. It still provides some priceless one to one experiences with the other three members of my family, we all enjoy it and after owning it for so long, any further depreciation won’t matter.
A Morgan owning friend and business colleague died this week. It’s a sad tale, he started in his youth as a salesman for a company for whom he is now the UK director, only a few weeks from retirement, a whole lifetime dedicated to this career. A lesson to all, make the best of your time,
On a lighter note and with regards to car related itching, just to cheer you all up and sweep away this doom and gloom, I bought another Ferrari yesterday.
To recap, the first one was great, owned it for twelve years, thrashed it to 55k miles, suddenly decided I’d prefer a convertible version. The next one, not so great, owned it for two weeks did 75 miles, sold it back and enjoyed 6%APR on the money. Half thought my time of fast cars had passed, but no, still fancied one. Phoned round a couple of suitable cars which to be honest, aren’t exactly flying off the shelf, made a few low offers and hey presto, one dealer took the deal. Compared to Ferrari 2, Ferrari 3 is another year newer, 6k mikes instead of 9k and £10k cheaper. I might live to regret it but even that’s preferable to not living at all.
