Was it more stable through corners with two up? The three wheeler racers use a passenger or ballast!

Yes, it was Sprinty it certainly helped it corner flatter! It was quite a long circuit to learn in one day (  ) and so it helped having the Instructor able to signal corners when I wasn't sure what was coming next (very few landmarks on these airport circuits).

Wow Brian....look at your outside tyre in that last photo! Told you, now we both know what the noise is, it's the tyres screaming for dear life.  Excellent pictures Brian even managed to catch me any your brother in pursuit in picture 2. Just checked another 11 hours for the video to upload.

I'm really pleased to see some sensible discussion here, neither over heated nor boorish. Thanks to all and it has again convinced me that forums like this are a good thing to be part of. 
Cheers

Come now Brian, whilst I admire your loyalty  I'd just like to stop you there. At the very least, how can I put this politely, you are wrong. In one article only, that you and I indeed had a bit of a heated discussion over (think it was the original plus 8 one) I pointed out three "inaccuracies" There have been many many others! Morning Boshly, I'm pretty sure that I said that I have only seen one inaccurate report on Mogwire. Whilst that may mean my knowledge of Morgans is much less than yours, it certainly does not mean I'm wrong. I seriously doubt your knowledge of Morgans is less than mine, I know you are a long time enthusiast. However whilst a tad 'pedantic' I concede; you may not have been wrong in what you have "seen" I stand by my other assertion that there are definitely more than a few innaccuracies. The issue, and I note you did not refute or dispute it, is as Krod so aptly states "Often Mogwire puts a negative spin against MMC inside their messaging instead of reporting facts". Did you read the reviews of the M3W on Mogwire? Anyway It is clear that the author does not approve of the current direction of the MMC, that needs to be taken into account when reading the articles. I see it as no different than the need take take into account that some of the postings here from people who are often personal guests of the MMC. Nothing wrong with that. Six of one half a dozen of the other. The level of vitriol is a shame though. Anyway I'm off to Indo-China and the Far East for a month so despite the fact that is pouring with rain here I'm off to do the last minute shopping in my Mog. Again, I find myself agreeing with you (well nearly ) in that of course we do and should take into account peoples leanings when listening or reading opinions. It's just that where stated facts are concerned there should be no difference whatsoever on bias or preference. A fact is a fact. I also agree that it would be so much better without the need for "vitriol", but as a military analogy, when you are under constant sniper fire, a few mortar rounds in the right direction is a far quicker solution than trying to reason with the (distant) Sniper  I jest of course, but ........ Regarding the 'personal guests' comment, and I speak for myself, I have never been treated any differently by MMC other than how I would expect to be treated as a good customer, one who has bought three of their products in the last 4/5 years. Other than the Geneva Motor Show invitation (where I paid all of my own costs of travel and accommodation etc) the only time we cross paths is on factory visits or at events that they are attending. It certainly fits your description but I wanted to ensure that nothing else is or could be read into it. I emphasise, if you buy their products, they tend to be very welcoming. They are a business not a Museum after all. Lastly I raise my hat to you in using the Mog in the rain and I trust you have a 'Bon Voyage' for your months excursion
Cheers
