Guys, when it comes to closed minded opinions, there is often little logic  I was going to ask him how the heat soak from the engine by his feet was (and whether he ever found the smell of slow burning fibreglass off putting but thought he may take offence  ) but you know there would be an answer. As said, there was no malice from him, just a blinkered view of Morgans and their owners.

I've been lobbying MMC to bring a 4/4 Sport to certain track events and let interested parties do a session in it. My guess - and I could be wrong - is that it would win over many and do a lot to dispel the myths of the arm-chair experts. I've got the track.... and the ideal climate....  P.S we might have some Westfields here soon so you can do a bacl to back....

Graham, Amen to that! ...if I had to get out in a hurry then there would be major probs. However, as a mere 6ft 3 ins, 15 stoner, I have no problems with my 4/4.
Indeed, as those of you who may know a certain midlands Morgan dealer and his son will be aware, tall ain't a problem!
Cheers Yes, but it's not height that's my problem  Cheers,

LOL, No - not as it has more than one deck above the waterline  At the time it was one of three sister ships - the ss Chevron North America and the ss David Packard being the other two - that were around the 13th largest in the world. Days long gone, sadly...  Cheers,

Wow, so thats how I get all the petrol......nice ! When I had the GTR at 550bhp it would do 10mpg at best and a lot less if the road was clear, I figure that they must have had one of those with my name on it for a while. Come to think of it I sold the car in 2005, when did they retire these things
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

There's still some big tankers out there. But, with the changing regs, particularly after the Exxon Valdez fiasco they have to have double bottoms - rather tahn the old single skin of my days. The idea being not to spread crude or product all over the ocean if penetrated by a rock... At this rate I'll have to change the smiley beside my user name! Cheers,
