...I will look at hog mog...and if folks have an interest I will detail how the aero drives compared to the others. Randy, that was Aeroman trying to be funny (notice I said trying  ) HogMog is an inside joke because of my love for Porsche (I have owned various). It is a long story but the short version is that it started as a joke about my love of pork/bacon and ended up with the blending of Hog for Porsche and Mog for Morgan. What Aeroman hasn't admitted is his lust for old, aircooled, bacon  ...back on track - I bet your Aero caused quite a stir at the golf course? They are rare in the UK and invariably create a lot of interest when driven or parked; however, in the US, you must be inundated with 'what is it?' type questions.

Simon, Good Day... So Aeroman is really an old school guy with a closet fetish for those air cooled VW original beetle type Porsche's.The new version is a great car, good at everything including gas mileage and driving character as well as some comfort thrown in, but not a luxury sedan by any means.I have the factory horsepower kit on my 2007 C4S so 385bhp, stock.
The Aero attracts attention everywhere here with only the truly enlightened knowing what it is.Questions are always what is it,kit car,old or new, what type of engine,cost to buy....Women love this car and the color on mine in particular, if I did not have a fiancee, I could have had many new dates with this machine.
This web site as mentioned was a main factor in getting this car.Drawbacks for me is the dealer network here for Morgan's is slim, less than seven I believe spread out all over the states.Some of these seven dealers are small, really small.My nearest dealer is in Chicago, Il, seven hours away.I am not overly mechanical myself, can do some things so I have followed the threads on mechanics...closely, cars seem pretty bulletproof, build quality good because of the handmade aspect.My guess is that Morgan has probably done some sorting out of the car from the original series 1 to present models which I believe is roughly a ten year span now.I would never have bought a series one car here in the states,easier if you are close to the factory. I do recognize many who own series 1 cars like them better because of their more aggressive nature...
I am suprised that this car has grown on me quickly, especially since I have other high end machines and have sold some high end machines recently that others would have offered body parts for, but at the end of the day I like new auto experiences and sentimental attatchments have been rare, although I can see one developing with the Aero because of its unique character.Since many are based in England I will have to work harder to identify that famed British humor.To all others thanks for their greetings, hope to know many of you soon!

Glad it has grown on you quickly just like it has on me I've asked this question last year,and I'm still standing by my opinion http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4009&page=1After 16 mths of Aero ownership, I still look forward to taking her out for a drive  The so called high end cars are no doubt nice, but I bet I'll get fed up with them within just a few months of ownership ps Please do not mention "Porsche" again, as it is a forbidden word on this forum
