The funniest comment said about my M3W was in the parking lot at Costco yesterday. And I didn't even know it at the time. A couple walks up all in smiles and the man says- is that a Corbin? I looked at him rather quizzically. He says- a Corbin... It looks just like a Corbin. You know the same as the company that makes seats. I told him it was a Morgan at which time his wife pointed at the name/logo on the front grille. Again he says it looks just like a Corbin.
The laughter came when I got home and looked up a Corbin 3 Wheeler.

Joking apart - I do think that something like the Corbin Sparrow could well be the future!!For local commuting I mean - not for MMC.
But having said that ...you never know ...could this be the Geneva reveal???!!!

For those on the other side of the pond, Costco is a big-box warehouse club store which sells products in huge bundles of 24 or 36 what-evers. We usually seem to fill the family mini-van when we shop there.

First roll out with the M3W this year.
The engine needed too much time to start firing so the battery run flat. I had a second attemt after an hour of recharging the battery and the little beast started immediately! Strange.... but still a lot of fun to have it on the road again.

Took Thumper up to Guys Hospital in London yesterday. Much admired there and on the way down. Returning through the City, I was held up and diverted around the Bank as there was a film being made based around the 1930s; judging from the garb the extras were wearing and the period vehicles on view. I think they thought the M3W was part of the props. It was quite incongruous being photographed by 1930s people with their smartphones.
