Does he do that himself? I ask because you never know what the reality is behind the gogglebox.

He's clearly never going to be allowed to forget that.

I agree with Madmax; a motoring broadcaster who appreciates the attractions of Morgans is a good thing; he should be congratulated on his discernment and good taste.

Compared to some of his outages the Max was a moment in time. Given his public motoring history it must be a laugh trying to renew his car insurance. Actually his life insurance as well. wink

He is probably worth so much he is excluded from having to insure anything wink

re brakes and steering feel... are they the same products as fitted to early production demonstrators?

iirc Morgan have some history of doing their development work with one setup, and then changing manufacturers for this month's production, ignoring the effect on the dynamic experience. SOmetimes it's a win - I got Yokohamas on my Aero, and like them a lot. It wouldn't surprise me if early build cars used a different manufacturer's brake pads and tyres, and the change will happen when Morgan run out of the stock they've bought.

Are you suggesting that they are the automotive equivalent of Spaniels ?
