One of the many joys of mog ownership is that the more you drive it the better you get to know it and the better it therefore performs. So you get consistent improvement of enjoyment and a growing relationship. Unlike modern cars in which the first drive is the best and it all gradually goes off form after that.
So you can relax and know that the mog will be better and better, and better.........and better.......

That is so very true - the relationship builds over time little by little.

I have had my 4/4 for a year now and I/ we love it. I feel you drive a morgan and aim other vehicles. I hope you enjoy your new baby. All the best.

You obviously chose well when you married your wife! Congratulations on taking the plunge with a Morgan. The first test drive is always a challenge to the senses and you have to accept Morgan's for what they are...and that's very different than any other modern sports car. They can frustrate at times but they do fascinate and get under your skin.
Are you still drawn to the Red Chassis?

Hi,

Yes, ARP4 ordered. Just need to confirm colour choices and decide whether to go for the power steering or not. Very excited now

Congratulations, I think a nice pearlescent Orange would be the ticket with a carefully chosen contrasting interior, probably a charcoal flat grey. Wheels painted to match interior I think. Power steering is good, at least I think so on my Roadster. thumbs

I think the options are more limited than for standard cars. Colour choices are limited to 4 matt and 4 gloss colours, with choice of leather colour and carpets. Still struggling to decide though, as they all look great to me!
