Probably time to explain why I bought the A8 in the 1st place .....
I'm 63 - A minor miracle considering some of the stuff I've done in the past.
Before Morgan
I had a McLaren for 7 years. Effortlessly, Clinically, Cynically .... FAST !. You took all the risks, but it gave very little back in the shape of satisfaction from operating it well, or the sensations whilst driving it (ie Noise, sensations of movement, tactile feelings from the environent .... even smell !). With all the electronics you sometimes wondered who was driving who (until the speeding ticket arrived of course).
What I want from a Morgan
The pleasure and satisfaction of operating and being in charge / in tune with with a machine.
So - Manual gearbox, minimal electronics, maximum noise (Not loud per se - just emotive .... including the Stereo if you see my other thread).
I want 50 to feel like 100 (its the opposite in the 'Mac) and above all a car that needs to be DRIVEN.
Hence this "heel & toe" thread. I'm really not after going fast or lap times ..... It's just the satisfaction of DRIVING that I crave. Sounds, movements, skills, smells .... all turned up to 11 !
So far it's been a genius move, I'm loving it !
