I show my Mercedes,and people ask me what will you have next then,when i say i really quite fancy a Morgan there is a very sharp intake of breath and,what do you want one of those for,had one of those, terrible, like a damn rollerskate ,my god terribly harsh ride,you get the drift,
this certainly does'nt put me off, each to there own i say,
Just they cant be that bad surely,all the comments ive read on here ,seems to me once you've tried one theres no going back ,
so with that we are of to Southport this weekend,just so happens that the hotel is'nt a million miles away from Lifes.
Oh look dear, a Morgan Dealer!,lets just have a look.
Regards
Colin.



I've been through this mental exercise too!

I've owned some interesting cars over the past few years and a Morgan seems at the other end of the scale to most of them.... But I'd say this.....

Have I truly enjoyed owning supercars? Um, a bit. But they're too wide for country lanes, their performance can NEVER be exploited (unless you like prison food) on the motorway. So I didn't really drive them.

What do I really want a 'fun' car for? Zooming around my corner of Surrey, going to the pub, picking my son up from school, avoiding motorways.

Do I honestly care about some negative comments? All my cars had some kind of image issue, footballers car, nouveau riche car.... You name it, any car will have it's detractors. Usually from people driving a rusty old barge.

Morgan's have great residuals, super strong in fact.

Get one! smile
