The Plus 8 has rear pipes, but cut-outs both sides! Sounds terrific, with the option of quiet touring - you do need a friendly MOT station though!!   At 75 to 85 Tarka has a bit of a drone in 5th, in Sport Mode, but in 6th is really quiet. I see a new 2022 M3W in your Garage list... what will that sound like, when you get it?

They are just finalising the exhaust, sounds very different to the last model Peter! Just finalising the spec, especially the colour - more when we meet…

Not long to go now Peter to the launch when all will be revealed? Unfortunately we won’t be there as we have a trip planned to New York! 😢

A sunny day, good roads and a great lunch. A photo of two Plus 8s in the New Forest, Les Mirabelles at Nomansland.... https://www.lesmirabelles.co.uk/![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/02/09/Porgan-Pair.jpg) We drove each other's cars, the small differences are fascinating... Brian's has Tillett seats: they look as though they are uncomfortable but exactly the reverse in the case. Caroline and I have felt the Plus 8's seats need a bit of an upholstery refresh. Perhaps we need to go further. The way the centre dash buttons are illuminated differs, his stay one, mine come on with the ignition and then go off. And Brian's car seemed to have a better, sharper throttle response. I need to investigate. Last, I love the discrete "Morgan" badge on the lower grill!

Is it a bolt on sign Peter or is it painted?

I love the shallow windscreen on his car Could it be the optical illusion from the trad style popper hood overlapping the 'screen frame ?
