I think Hamwich's words were said in jest as evidenced by the smilie. I certainly didn't read it as a criticism of MMC.
Indeed they were not, I was simply reiterating a (very) old joke. The essential point is that everybody learns from everybody else, which is where progress comes from.
Far from trying to criticise MMC, I am enormously supportive of what they are doing currently. If the tie-up with Oak racing gets MMC access to advanced carbon fibre technology, then absolutely great. I know there are some die-hard Morgan traditionalists who would prefer that MMC only ever build trad cars with sliding axle suspension, but I'm not one of them! :-) :-)
