I think that's quite normal lez. My relationship with my first Morgan was a slow burn, and every journey made me love it more.

I always advise newcomers to Morgans to give it 6 months before they can get themselves "in tune" with the car, and start to get the best from it.
It is a very different driving experience, and especially those who have become cosseted by modern electronic driving aids find it does take time to adjust their driving style to suit the car.
We wish you many happy miles with the +4.

I think it is one of the long term pleasures of a Morgan that one continually gets more skilled at driving it, thus deriving pleasure. Whereas in most cars one just gets bored with the way the car copes with everything. With a Morgan your input rewards you.  Nick
