Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Playing chicken?

So sorry to read of this, one of the reasons I gave up on P cars over 25 years ago was the instances of what I can only imagine were envy based aggression, and what a relief it was to find myself driving a Morgan which seemed to encourage polar opposite attitudes from the general populace.

It is a great disappointment to think that given the combination of political evolutionary processes we might have arrived at a stage where even driving a Morgan might encourage the unfortunate envious by nature types to engage in antagonistic driving...

As has been typed it is good to know that it did not cause injury or damage, but I suspect not something that might be easy to forget.!

The only car in which I have ever experienced similiar difficulties was my Porsche 911 turbo, when I was overtaken on a dual carriageway by a Peugeot 205 with a group of young lads who pulled across immediately in front of me and braked hard to a dead stop........I out braked them. They most likely wanted to have a rear end shunt insurance claim, which was quite common in the Midlands around Birmingham at the time. They soon cleared off when the wife started filming them on her phone.

That is a horrible experience, thank goodness your wife was on hand with the camera, no excuse whatsoever for that kind of behavior.
As I said above there was a warning being given out to be on your guard as it's on the increase now the recession has actually arrived and the lower strata are feeling the pain most as ever and reacting.

Stay safe out there nice car owners and be super careful where you park.

I had a very brown trouser moment on Morgans Over America when driving along one of those iconic American middle of nowhere roads that go straight for ever, on a beautiful day with white fluffy clouds in a deep blue sky. There were 3 Morgans following me I was in the lead in the +8 doing around 60 mph with my headlights on (always do that) with a big truck coming the other way probably doing around 60 mph too. Suddenly a car came out from behind the truck and proceeded to overtake it, I continuously flashed my lights but it kept on coming I pulled over to the side as far as I could and it kept coming. The truck sounded his horn and car somehow went between me and the front of the truck, the other drivers behind said they had no idea how it fit through but it did it was a BMW with blacked out windows including the windscreen. Morgan drivers much further back reported seeing a car like that pulled over by the Police I like to think the truck driver reported it.
