I must say I don't like his attitude or his delivery, but then I don't like Clarkson either - more of a James May man myself. But, we live in a world where media of this type is extremely powerful with a large part of the population, who will or won't buy a product based on the opinion of a journalist, rather than finding out for themselves if said product is any good. PDron is quite correct, Morgan need to gear up their PR person to re-engage and get some positive spin rather than the negativity delivered here. In such a short video (no doubt edited down from a full days footage) with just a few brands shown, it was obviously left in to make a point, he could have just ignored the Morgan stand altogether but chose not to.

On a slightly different tack, I'm wondering why Charles didn't turn up at the show. (Maybe he did). Are the circumstances of his separation so bitter that he can't face being there 'on or around the stand' ,or has he been told not to appear. After all, he remains a shareholder, and the temptation to go along to see old friends must have been great.

Surely he must have moved on by now - I certainly hope so for his and his families sake.

Thanks for link Peter. It's all very sad that it is still dragging in on so publicly.
And +1 for the thread move to the soapbox

We don’t get much of Chris Harris here but I must confess to being a big fan.

Take a look at his Morgan +8 and 3Wheeler reviews and note the different way he approaches his Alfa and Porsche effort. He has not tried to compare the +8 to the Porsche on a sports car performance basis – to do so would miss the point as to just what these cars represent.

Plus 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFvd9DVt9-I
3 wheeler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htI3weS49cc

Alfa & Porsche https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGwawx4zaMg

Condor, you will love the +8 review given our recent experience driving Morgans in the rain so you will be pleased to know “they all do that Sir…”

There is no doubt Harris can drive (finishing 13th in the 2010 24 Hours of Nurburgring) and for me he clearly “Gets” Morgan.

A phone call ASAP from Pickersleigh Road would not go astray particularly given the last Birmingham Post article…
