Just caught up with episode 3 featuring the glorious scenery of the border country  . There was a strong motor sports theme and it was noted how many farming families were involved in competition cars. This episode also included a demonstration on how not to wash a Morgan by throwing a bucketful if water over the bonnet  .

I was screaming at the TV when they started to wash the car with a sponge and shampoo. There was no rinsing of the dirt off first.

I thought it was most inspiring, I will be ensuring my mrs has a galvanised bucket on her lap at all times as part of the Morgan experience.

Agreed .... what a pair of wallies!
They treat the Morgan dreadfully. And continually complain about it.
Still the car is v prominent throughout and ultimately I guess that’s a good “return” for MMC.
I hope so anyway!

Well, if I’m honest, I’m a little underwhelmed with the absolute lack of detail on Fifth Gear review in terms of the drive, the speed, the comfort, the auto box etc etc. Was a positive review overall but I can’t really see it persuading newcomers to buy one....shame. Spose, with my rose tinted specs on, it could have been worse but....blink and you missed it....

Agreed, but Fifth gear tends to be very superficial.

Agreed, but Fifth gear tends to be very superficial. And often inaccurate...
