We swapped cars several times during the tour and I feel in love with the Mazda too. And it was always him who demanded the MX5 back.
He clearly prefers it over the Morgan because of the lighter steering and short throw gearbox, the decent sound system and - this being the most important point - he was afraid of the Morgan's worth and newness.

Seemed everyone was very, very lucky with what he got. I think the photos capture this quite well. laugh2




I know which one I would keep!
cant spell MX5 anyway, I'm disXM5ick drive


If you are doing nothing, how do you know when you are finished?

I went to my first Morgan club meeting this evening. Not only that I met with "Basilisk" from TalkMorgan personally, everyone present was literally raving about the color. We both - he also being there for the first time - received a very warm and amicable welcome.

Strange it might sound, but it feels even better to read all your positive comments and good wishes on the net.

Beautiful Mog, very nice combination of colors love

I thought that the "burndt orange" was more near "saddle" than "hermès orange" but it looks really shinny and I LOVE IT happy3 happy3
