Why has this not been brought up in the conversation earlier ? I didn't know they did conversions. Are you sure of that?

Krazy Horse have recently done a conversion, I should have said £2,500 was the approx. cost including parts and labour.

Well it seems so far the gods don't really favor blue skies over England for the end of the week. I guess I'll pack the heavy weather clothing !

Brooklyn -> Beaverville, Illionois (1 day, around 16 hrs). Not sure what i was thinking... return drive 4 days later (this one we had to stop for a nap, and finish coming into Brooklyn the following morning). Recommendations: 400 miles max per day, water at every gas stop, earplugs and intercom gear for music, voice and navigation (we used a Sena 10s), avoid night (truck LED taillights vibrate when viewed from shaking Morgan and seriously disrupt visibility and concentration after miles), goggles (for rain and eye fatigue), Advil, a sense of humor and determination.

Really enjoyed my time with the car. I had all sorts of weather during my 3 day stunt with the machine and I was pleasently surprised by the car. No matter what the all mighty threw at me during the weekend I still found joy behind the well. That being said I wouldn't voluntarily get stuck in the pour for the fun of it. Car behaved as expected and the only time it went weird on me was in the foothills of brescon national park where the rear wheel got caught in a mossy patch making the car lose traction. Thankfully my years of V8 drama driving have sharpened my senses so I corrected instantly.

I did not really like the indicator light on the dash. In the RHD configuration it is not always clear for me if the damn thing is on or not. The timer sometimes is too long and other times too short making roundabout navigation a tad stresseful. Hill starts are a handful for me and the pedal adjustment isn't perfect either (it took 2 tries to get them in the spot for me). There's no protection when it comes to storage - anyone can open the car which isn't cool. Fuel guage is a complete joke - reminded me of a Model - T, depending on the hill inclination fuel volume would change.

Aside from that it was very pleasant to drive. view out of the car is unparalleled and the sensation of speed & performance is outstanding. I felt like I was doing 200 mph when flying at 40 - truly amazing.

Jokes aside this car is exactly like a classic - you need to be measured man and you cannot take any liberty with safe driving. Other road users are completely speechless leading to situations that could lead to problems.

The boot is "surprisingly" more roomie than I though and I had no issues storing my driving gear. Heated seats are a godsend. Everyday is halloween in this car. Dogs love the morgan, everywhere I stopped dogs would come and sniff around.
Alex Roy wasn't kidding - Women love that thing and grown men avoid eye contact with you or simply get a bit hatin'. No one is having as much fun as you ...
There is no dignified way to enter or leave that thing. You can't stop anywhere without having anyone show up to strike conversation with you.

it is amazing how often people ask, "Can I take a picture?"
