Thanks for your warm welcome
Why an Aeromax after so many different cars?
well, having had a number of different colours and forms of cars, wether they were Italian or German, they failed to deliver on their promises.
At the end of the day, fast driving on motorways isnt fun at all, and i getting more and more expensive as speed cameras grow everywhere. In the meantime most of these cars aren t great fun to drive on track where the Caterham have been proven to be much more efficient, cheap to run and fun to drive.
The Caterham perfectly fits my bill of a good track day car, which ca be used for afternoon blats as well, and aren t a liability with my mechanic and my banker.
Neverheless, as my children progressively leave the nest (I have four and have been growing them on my own since my wife died when they were young) I have a bit more time to indulge myself with some leisure
I have been toying with the idea of a classic car, but having a very busy life, didn t find any car that was appealing and always feared that such a car wouldn t strat on the button, when I manage the time to drive it. I considered a +8 and drove a few, but they were to crude for my liking.
I was more looking for a long distance cruiser to drive across the globe in style, once I will retire. My project is to drive around the globe with that car, Paris, Beijing, Vancouver, the Horn Cap and back via Africa.
The Morgan is an unique car to do, totally absurb as it is not designed for that purpose, but that is part of the appeal
I won t retire before six years, and would have preferd to buy the car by then, but hey, you only live once and there should be only one run of Aeromax, so I bite the bullet and bought it!
Spec of the car is LHD Sebring grey, sahara leather, auto, and I think I ticked all the box on the order form for all goodies such as, lateral exhaust, paint shield, auto, parking sensor, up graded stereo and the likes. Chassis N°41. Can t remember if LSD was on offer, but if so, tick!
Why an auto? Well for long distance driving, this is better and more relaxing and I intend to keep the car for ever, and when older, auto may enable me to drive an extra year or so before I will be driven for the last time in a very different car.
I visited the factory with three of my children last year, and that was great! At least two of the boys start to like cars, and so does my daughter. When the Max will be ready we plan to go to Malvern and pick it from there. It will be a stylish convoy I guess as a few mates will come along with their exotica, a night in London a nice drive to Malvern and back home the following day
I don t have a firm date for picking the car up and will do it likely end of September or later in October, as I need to accomodate school hollidays to bring the gremlins with me for a couple of days.
My vacation in August will be dedicated to build the garage to accomodate the Max, as other garages are fully loaded with toys already
