I'm going to order a Hedon open face helmet with brim and face bubble and have lined up a driving instructor who has access to the tracks here-- not for learning track driving (I've done some of that in Ferraris, those little Formula Jr.type cars that Skip Barber ran and the Porsche CGT, among others). I want to learn the dynamics, get a sense of the limits (the vehicle and my own --the latter no doubt considerable)-- and get back into heel and toeing. My plan is to take it easy on the roads here.
Bill, I understand your perspective on all the points. To be honest, if you enjoyed the Super 3 as a passenger, driving it is only going to improve on that.
Driving tuition, as George and Paul have already said, is going to let you really access the potential of your new Morgan. I spent quite a few years convincing myself that I needed a quicker car; however, soon realised that the driver was the weakest point and the best money spent was on tuition.
As for the road trip idea - circa 1,400 miles, on rural back roads, would have been an adventure but I think you're wise to get it shipped to you and enjoy it locally before embarking on cross country jaunts!
