Peter re the LSD missing on the CX, perhaps it is down to self-protection? It allows the unloaded wheel to spin out the power. If it had a tight LSD both wheels would click and it would probably become pretty exciting with all that turbo torque to play with. Or it could be a marketing thing, they are saving for the limited edition GTR model. 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

The PlusFour derived CX-T has an LSD, and if I remember correctly it's BMW sourced too, shame it's not on the (overpriced) options list for production cars

I understood and thought it now common knowledge that prototype Plus Six versions were driven by MMC staff both with and without a LSD. There combined inputs favoured without which lead to the perhaps controversial production decision, now old news surely.
The same thinking was followed through to the Plus Four maybe although this is speculation on my part.

No problem - I had no idea until did some research for the next ThamesMOG newsletter. As I said, 28m views  M3W55 is somewhat correct. While the number of views are in fact large, when you compare that to established and heavy hitters, he is quite new and small in the world of reviewers. I've been watching his channel for quite some time now and enjoy his content but you will be hard pressed to find him being overly critical about anything. I would love to see Mat Watson from Carwow do a review. Now that would be interesting

Peter,
my 3.7l roadster with spare or without does the same. Far worse than the S1 & previous trads. I think it is the front undertray & rear panel for the fog & reverse lights.
John Good job you never had a three wheeler John. The 5 speeder I had was terrible for sucking the surroundings into the cockpit including rain of course. A 15 mile journey on dry winter roads had the passenger seat covered in salt dust! My Roadster is nothing like as bad.

Maybe he gets a bit of corporate hospitality as well...? If he wants to maintain his business model, he is hardly going to be ultra critical. Otherwise he will have to go out and actually spend some money to hire one to produce his videos, without fear of backlash.

Ped generally finds the good in a car, without being blind to the faults. I'm fine with that - it's far preferable to the clickbait drama nonsense that others use, exaggerating minor aspects of a car into major faults. Will
