Wood... yes, I've also had to explain the difference in a chassis and a frame. I use the house analogy; "the chassis (steel) is like the foundation of your house, the frame (ash) is like the framing of your house inside the walls. Where you see pained rivets, there's wood underneath ( mostly true)... where the rivets are raw, it's attached to the chassis."

Kool Aid Ken,

I also tell them all the above and add if not for Pete Larson building the Liberty Ace we most likely would not be enjoying these!

Then I explain if it wasn't for Brexit I most likely would not have been able to buy it at least this soon. I also always use the opportunity to thank President Trump for his Pro energy policies allowing me to fill this tank with expensive high test gas at this low cost! I also remind them and many of my hot rod friends how the liberals and their climate change nonsense want to regulate these old cars and new ones like the M3W out of existence! ( isnt that the delay of M3W going into the EU now? ) And always encourage them to remember all this in the upcoming elections.

A final thought. As we cruised around eastern Ohio this Memorial Day weekend we were thrilled to see all the beautiful patriotic displays as we have never seen like this before. We also crossed several large double pipe lines crossing the state. We spoke to a oil worker who told us right after President Trumps inauguration 20 large drilling units were already heading back to just one Ohio county! This is all in an area that desperately needs jobs!! And do I mention the Keystone pipeline....remember this every time you fill up your M3W!!

Oh Sportster I keep forgetting to thank all the Badgers of Wisconsin for voting for President Trump!

Every mile is a smile!!

High on Xenophobia Noon,

Gas prices hit record lows under the previous President, not the pussy grabber who mimicks spastics. . That being said, a US President has bupkis to do with gas prices. And sure... run those oil lines! Why not develop an M3W to run on Agent Oranges beloved coal! LMAO

Similar to my gas station speech. What do you folks say when they ask, "what did you pay for it" To the last guy I said "40 thousand pounds". What is that in Dollars says he? "Depends on todays exchange rate." I pop off as he checks his phone.

And the next guy who says "nice Morgan replica" I'm just going to say "thank you". Because its like trying to teach a pig to dance, it accomplishes nothing and it just annoys the pig.Worse was the guy who was pounding on the Bodywork asking me if it was made of aluminum.
That and the guy who ran right up to the car and had to squeeze the header wrap up near the engine for some God-Knows-Why-Reason. Thankfully the engine has been sitting for quite a while so he did not scald all the skin off his palms. I'm sure that he shortened the life of my brittle header wrap by a few days. Hopefully he immediately went back to whatever hole he crawled out of and had a session of self pleasuring and embedded all those fiberglass fibers deep into his gentleman parts.

In the UK, the common questions are:

How much is it worth?

How old is it?

Is it a kit car?

That's a great restoration!

Once I've had: What engine does it have? - which is reasonable enough.

Ive just read through this thread and feel for you all in N America dealing with all the silly and confused citizens....

I just wonder how they would react to an Aeromax or a Super Sport??

I knew I would have the attention, but boy did I underestimate how much. And what sort.
