Hi all, I am in Massachusetts and new to Morgan. I have an M3W scheduled to be built in early 2017.

Do Americans have more cars than Brits? We have 3 cars My Morgan +4 and Fiesta ST and my wife's Mazda MX 5 so do men have more cars than women? I have an eclectic collection of cars (7+ M3W in Last Trimester of Gestation Period). However, being a Left Coast Yank (don't hold it against me) I have noticed that the Brits and EU M3W Forum members have more motorcycle fetishes. This is my first cycle car and I sold my last motorcycle in 1974. I can score some brownie points by mentioning that my first street bike was a 1965 Triumph 500 Tiger. We had a love/hate relationship that didn't last long... My M3W is on order and it is going to be a very long few more weeks wait for me.

Don't know Roger, most of the guys I know count pistons. I've got 20 and oh, I almost forgot two, on the lawnmower and the power washer--and am a Yank but most of the pistons are Brit, how does that work?

According to some US Customs stats there are about 200 in the States by now. Most are centered around the bigger cities where there are actual Morgan dealers. I'm in rural Southern Vermont where there is nothing...
Seeing another M3W in the wild is an absolute BFD!
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

And I like pistons too with 3 cars made in America with a total of 16 pistons!? It is the wife's Tesla that throws the count off.

Hi all, I'm in New York and have an M3W scheduled to be built in late Spring 2017.
Counted 40 pistons, most in sets of 4.

Oh man, counting pistons would be a challenge... The bigger issue is counting oil drain plugs - and how many cars/tractors/trucks/mowers/cycles/ATVs need to have oil changes done on a semi-regular basis, and keeping track of them.

Good to have more owners and future M3W Owners on board. I enjoy checking the posts everyday. I am Order #84024 or you can call me Ken.
To: Drew, truckin-on and JFP - keep us posted on your progress and we will do the same. It seems their is a backlog of cars at the Factory that have been started but not completed. We are hoping someone on this Forum will go for a Factory Tour and give us an update. My Dealer told me the Build Slots are now booked thru next June!

I'm order # 84100, looking at late March build as an estimate currently. Hopefully, it will arrive about the same time as decent spring weather in the northeast US!

Seeing another M3W in the wild is an absolute BFD! Surprised the number is that low! I will hit the 800 mile mark today (picked it up 2 months ago) and love driving it just to drive it. A couple of passers-by even knew what it was.....
