Good bye Roadster, hello Lotus Elise S  I'm not sure I can believe this, if ever somebody epitomised a Mog owner I thought it was you Richard!  I wish you well with your new car and look forward to reading a detailed comparison with the Roadster. Can we open a book on when you'll be back in a Morgan?  After 2 4/4 Sports and a Roadster there was nowhere else to go at Morgan, three wheeler does not grab me (my wife is dead against) the Aero that really attracts -Aero Super Sports - is way beyond my means. To be honest an Elise was not in consideration until I discovered the supercharged version matched the power and torque output of my Roadster. A demo drive in the Elise S with a green light from my wife sealed the Mog's fate - she has been understandably lukewarm about the charms of top down motoring this summer - and we soon realised that most of the great drives in our Morgans- ie the Somme this spring and Bourges in the black Sport had been hood up. Will I be back driving a Morgan? ........

Is that Loti as in Jedi (guess what's on the TV?), or Loti as in Lottee?? Just curious, I would want to pronounce it wrongly! A pal has a 110 300Tdi Commercial called Lottie...

Will I be back driving a Morgan? ........ Interesting Richard, as I also like to change my cars on a regular basis. I would like to buy a new Morgan Aero, but do not want a GT and I already have an SS so it looks like I'll be keeping it for now. Cheers Brian
