As we said in Kenya. In England they drive on the left, in the USA on the right. What side do we drive on in Kenya.
The one with the least holes!
Alas that seems now to apply to Bucks

Graham -- over here they just fill the pothole with a shovel full of tarmac - usually when it's wet so it comes straight out. If it happens to be dry, then it forms a bump(cause they never roll it) - After a couple of years, our local road has more bumps and holes than original road -- I call it our suspension test track!!!!! Thats exactly how they fill potholes here as well, good to hear its the same everywhere.

Your roads certainly gave my GS's shocks a good pounding last week over in County Clare. There seems to be a habit of lulling one into a false sense of security with a smooth wide road surface then suddenly...bang....

More to the point, thanks for looking out that Autosport comment from Andrew Frankel Charlie, I think he made a very good point, but I don't suppose anyone here has had a quiet phone call from Morgan about the wishbones have they.
It's all very well that the factory are willing to replace them foc, but if owners don't know about it, how can they ask for it, and not all owners are on forums like this or read the motoring press every week.
It seems that that recalls like this are very difficult for small manufacturers, I know that Caterham are having a similar problem concerning the rear suspension hitting brake lines on new cars, and owners are only finding out via the club website, not dirtect from the manufacturer. Frankly, I don't understand the problem, especially with Morgan who have a dealer network who can contact customers directly, after all there can't be more than 300-400 cars out there yet? With litigation being what it is now, I would have thought it would be in their own interest.
