Hello fellow Morgan owners and enthusiasts, My name is Eloy, I live in Lisbon, and I've ordered a M3W back in february. My wife and I are hoping to collect it in the Malvern factory soon, just waiting on the word go. I come from a motorcycle background, I used to travel around european roads a lot. Until a nasty accident put an end to that. I then added two wheels to my fun toy and bought a Caterham Seven; that lasted one year; and now I've subtracted one wheel to the equation and ended up with a M3W. Indecisive? Like my compatriot Mario Costa Pinto and his wife, who you all know here, I'm planning on making the most of Portuguese weather and enjoy the car in all four seasons (and for as many seasons as the car lasts  ). Mario and his wife were actually kind enough to meet my wife and I a few weeks ago on the Lisbon river front for a drink and a chat. It was great. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the car, the brand, the traveling, and troubleshooting. Like Mario said, and I'm loosely paraphrasing here, the car's absolutely great, and all we ever speak about in the forums is it's faults. It makes sense, 'cause in the end, the happiness it brings to your face is obvious, there's nothing to be added to that. So you're left with the troubleshooting issues. Hoping to share a lot of experiences with you guys and thank you upfront for your kindness online, this forum looks like so much more than just a source of information. Best Regards, Eloy

Welcome to the world of the missing wheel!
(or the world of the additional wheel as your background is biking)
Have fun!

Welcome Eloy. Great to see you here, as you said this forum is much more than a source of information, it truly takes the experience of Morgan ownership to a whole new level. Don't forget to share your experience when you go get your own M3W. We all like a good, detailed, travelblog (travelthread, rather). With pictures, obviously!  Have fun.
