I have posted a bit on the M3W section, but thought it was time to introduce myself properly. I am absolutely new to Morgans or indeed, any classic cars, but have always had a soft spot for the Morgan type ~ especially the early three wheelers: my father learnt to drive in one in the '30s. By some fluke, trawling around the net, I found out about the new M3W and fell for it hook line & sinker. I had a test drive in a grey M3W at Krazy Horse a few weeks ago and then went away to think a bit. I then noticed that they had a beautiful racing green 2012 M3W that had been fully updated. I went for a drive with the CXO and the deal was done! We will collect the car next Friday as it is having a new rear tyre and steel sprocket fitted. The M3W is the only sports car that will fit my very small garage, as this also hosts a few machine tools in it. My previous (and continuing) hobby interests have always centred around railways and steam engines. From the very small ( http://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/layouts/copenhagen-fields) see photo below  [/URL] to a somewhat larger 1/3 rd scale road locomotive ( https://www.justgiving.com/Parkinsons-miniaturesteamrun) see photo below  [/URL] I am really looking forward to getting the M3W and will take some more pictures when it gets home.  [/URL] If family arrangements work out OK, then we hope to join the upcoming Albert Ball memorial blat joined by my son, who is in the RAF. Tim Watson

Great choice! You have some interests which fit nicely with Morgans.

Welcome Tim.....you have some fascinating hobbies! You should pay a visit to Berrybrooks down near Exeter....Morgan dealers with a difference...you just need to go to the rear of their premises or check out their website

Thanks. We live close to the Misquito museum where the original aircraft was made, complete with the very same aircraft: my favourite WWII plane. High time I visited again. The car will be a good excuse.
