Wishing Morgan all the best next week for a successful launch of the 3 Wheeler on the American market.

I would love to be there but will be swapping places and in Europe at the time. Hopefully Steven V. will be there to give us a live report form LAAS.

I will be there... but... there is still uncertainty about whether the 3W will arrive.
I confirmed earlier today that Morgan is still waiting for the EPA to release a Letter of Release to Customs. The EPA says it'll "look at the paperwork" sometime next week. Yawn.
MOG3w, why won't you be going??? I plan to attend either Nov. 21st or 22nd, to avoid traffic en route and big show crowds.

Hey Steve, Just back stateside. I missed the opening, but do plan to go to LAAS tomorrow evening, since I have to be in west LA anyway. Have a full days work followed by a dinner engagement, but plan to get over there after that. Will keep an eye out for you. Should be able to spot you based on "mugshot" here. I would be the guy going over it in extreme detail, with Asian wife in tow who I hope will be thrilled to see a 3 wheeler in the flesh. She does respond well to the videos, on account of the "cute" factor. But if there is no 3 wheeler present, the whole carshow thing loses a lot of rationale since we will both be fairly tired by then. I will check around a bit for updates on whether the 3w has arrived.

I guarantee you won't find a 3 Wheeler there. Wednesday would be the soonest, sorry to say. I hate to think of traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday when roads and the show are packed.

Fasten your seat belts – I just got word that the 3W should be released from Customs tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday)!!! For those who can attend, it'll likely be at the auto show starting Thursday afternoon.
If all goes well, I'll be in 3W auto show heaven on Friday morning. It's a two-hour drive from San Diego to Los Angeles, and I'll drag along my 88-year-old mom along as my faithful copilot.
This Thanksgiving, we'll have a little three-legged something to be thankful for.
"Be still, my beating billfold."

Thanks for keeping us posted. I skipped going to LAAS on Monday, just as well since it was a long day.
Not sure if/when I can pull it off this week, but hear's to hoping!

You'd better get there.
I came down with a bad cold today, and not sure how I'll feel by Friday. Ugh.
