I read with interest that the new chassis is described as ‘twice as stiff’ than the old one
Just so you all know where this technical term ranks in The MMC scale of Chassis Elasticity here is the full approved scale
(The clean version)
1. Floppy as a slice of Emmental on a cheeseburger
2. Flexible
3. Compliant
4. Fairly stiff
5. Stiff as a board
6. Twice as stiff
7. Stiff as a spicy peperami baked in its wrapper

I have heard a rumour that MMC have developed a new alloy for the chassis.
They did research with a biotech company.
The alloy , tentatively called “Ashtiminium” is a hybrid of ash, titanium and aluminium.

No it's made of that new compressed wood which is stronger and lighter. They have had to buy in new tools from gaymers to shape it.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

 Who remembers a TV programme called Daktari? No idea what its about, but the Mog sparked off a brain cell about a stripy safari car. So you think the name of this new car would be *Clarence* ?
