What do you mean ?
Do you know of 3 wheeler owners who have been contacted by MMC ?

I did suggest a while ago that MMC should send do a survey of owners experiences , but like you Donald I must have been missed off the mailing list .
I also think those of us who have paid a lot of money for the privilege of becoming development drivers and have had to put up with flack from the BSDs , should get any upgrades fitted free and /or a favourable deal should we wish to buy a 2014 model ......
Btw , I can't find the press release , where is it ?! Holy Mother  I reckon MMC should also give you a medal before delivering the latest model free of charge to your doorstep. You have an issue with your M3W? Fine, I can see you're not alone. However I have three friends with M3Ws and they have all driven many miles in them who do not seem to have an issue. I accompanied an M3W for 5500 miles on bloody awful roads and I do t recall any of the 3 drivers complaining as you are. It's obviously subjective, it's seems relative. Get over it.  Call your dealer/MMC, write to them by all means, go and visit and camp on their doorstep if you feel so strongly. You are entitled to do so if you are unhappy. Discuss it here with those who agree and those who don't but please for Gods sake stop whining because not everyone agrees with you. PS ever driven a Smart Fortwo? I'll be on to Mercedes immediately for my heavily discounted model!
Cheers

Oh dear, Boshers, it's lucky you don't have a Three Wheeler that has a design problem then. It's OK you know, I'm sure the Morgan Motor Company are big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves without you rushing to their defence all the time.
By the way, I think you will find that those Three Wheelers that you so glibly talk about had Suplex shock absorbers fitted, not the cr*p Spax ones?

Well , well Boshly .... that's an interesting contribution from someone close to the factory . So far it's been a very calm discussion .
What are you referring to when you say " complaining as you are " ? and could you please point out where I am "whinging " . You will find a lot of very positive posts on this forum from me . But I think it is helpful to post the less positive and genuine concerns about reliability and the dreaded bump steer issue .
You say you want people to discuss things yet don't want things said that disagree with yourobjective (?) opinions .
As for my "subjective" experience ( not my opinions ) ...I have had a number of issues eg rectifier and rear pulley , sorted out by dealers between services , In addition I have unfortunately had to be rescued by Morgan Rescue 5 times in my first year of ownership . In my subjective opinion this seems poor "relative" to any other vehicle I have owned in the last 40 years .
I have "got over it " and am hoping that by discussing things openly things will be able to be improved for future customers .

How strange it is that the least moderate person on this forum is a "Moderator".

So which bits can be retro-fitted to ensure values of earlier cars don't plummet? Maybe our pre 2014 cars will be regarded as "Classics" and be worth a premium........
