Hi, guys. This little thread is about nothing more than my Sunday visit to 3wheelerville, aka Talk Morgan, to check in briefly and say howdy, cheers, and give the secret 3W handshake.
Just dropped in to catch up with my missing-wheeled comrades and your burgeoning stable of new-and-lovable quasi-cars, now appearing in garages and on public roads at a staggering clip.
When last I checked in, I had substituted a new MX-5 Miata with a power folding hardtop, hoping to relegate my love for the 3W to the past. But last week, after two months with the Miata, I realized that it dismally failed to suit my character (or vice versa). So, I traded that car with just 2K miles for a new Fiat Abarth (which. not being a cabrio. now requires driving with my head out of the window to achieve the desired battering). With just 300 miles on my born-in-México Abarth, I'm feeling surprisingly happy and thinking this might be a good fit.
And in a rebellious moment. given the right mix of alcohol and time-of-month, I might pay homage to the still-in-my-head 3Wheeler by adding a token MOG or shark smile decal to my Abarth somewhere among its seemingly-infinite bevy of pre-affixed Scorpion badges. As a consolation, too, the exhaust note of the Abarth nicely approximates the 3W's sweetly raucous rumble, but without the latter's distinctive chiropractic thump.
Will check in periodically to live vicariously through your stories, so don't forget me quite yet. Looking forward to getting some behind-the-wheel time once the 3W lands here. Meanwhile, I'm happy to read the good news stories of your many new arrivals, and the entertaining posts of many familiar personalities – cheerio!
