Oh it's not the snow. It is simply that she has become afraid of roads in high places, even if protected by walls or guard rails. It is something that has really only become severe in the last few years (and before anyone comments it has nothing to do with my driving style).
One of the roads we took on the way back from the factory in march was the Gorge of Verdon (the Corniche Sublime) but she was so terrified that it took any enjoyment out of it and she refused even stop to look at the view!

 is a bit like that. She was petrified in the bus up to Eagle's Nest the other year. She did manage to go outside the building for 5 seconds, then hid inside leaving me to get on with photographing the area. Apparently the man himself wasn't keen on heights either... Haven't been along the Gorge du Verdon since I was 14... Not sure I've spelled that correctly

Great video Steven. Never been up it so far, last two times I was there, on a GS, it was closed. I wonder if Morgan ever thought the car might be used for such drives when they designed it? Some of those bends and obviously one, looked a struggle with the limited lock. May be that's why the back end is easy to kick out

"that companies been making 3 wheel cars on and off for the last 100 years" - the most incorrect statement made about the M3W to date.

"that companies been making 3 wheel cars on and off for the last 100 years" - the most incorrect statement made about the M3W to date. Over all it was a great review and the only negatives he found were fit and finish related... pertaining to a 3 wheeler that was broken-in on the Gumball 3000. As to your quoted statement; while not exactly accurate, it is sorta in the direction of the target. As Morgan have started, stopped, and now started 3 wheeler production over the last 100 years. And with the general lack of knowledge about the Morgan marque in the US, his follies are forgivable. Unlike some of the more respected vehicle sites that have repeated news of only 3 US dealerships selling 3 wheelers.
