Well it is a Plus Four but not as we know it the Italian's have insisted it's a car for the future and has good environmental credentials and I've seen it already.. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/02/20/VW.jpg) Very good!

Anyone who blabs will never get to know anything else. But the expected Geneva release isn't really such a big surprise? Or the sack...

I think the Morgan XS is a certainty. The only question is "will it look as gorgeous as the RR Cullinan?"

Damn for a moment then I thought you had inside information. It sounded just my kind of car. A wooden framed MB G63 but with a V12. I had already abused my piggybank and put the S2 and ML63 up for sale allowing me to combine the performance of the S2 with the huge-german-formal-black-pimp-wagon of the ML63 whilst enjoying leaks just like a real Morgan. I had better take the adverts down. Maybe Geneva 2021?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I already knew it and that's why I have already gained 25 kg of weight to keep the car on the ground. I'm sure I read years ago that the Porsche factory tried filling the front bumper on the early 911's with lead, to try and balance the propensity to spin

That is true, Jon, regarding the very first SWB cars. Then later in 1972 re the LWB cars they moved the oil tank further to the front to achieve a better weight balance, therefore she got this additional filler neck. But too many (American) filled petrol there instead of oil (at least the gas station service staff) so the 1973 cars had the oil tank removed backwards.

I had a Type 3 VW for a while. Other than the fact that the engine kept falling out of it every time it found a curve on a downhill wet road it wanted to go straight ahead. Now that I think about it I don't know why I didn't think to keep a bag of cement in the front of it.
