The common experience seems to be the benefit of a gained community alongside the purchase of a vehicle, all of which I would agree with. I would go on to add, and with an attempt at negating my own bias, it is also the quality of the community which one becomes part of. Many cars have passionate enthusiast clubs and communities; however, most people on TM, and the wider community, will have had experience in other niche car social environments and all I have spoken with relay that the Morgan community is inherently different to all others. For the most part, there is a total lack of snobbery, jealously, negativity and generally the factors that detract from other communities; everyone is welcomed and you do not need to be part of a formal organisation to be accepted.

Which leads me to another part of the ownership experience, and one that was very important to me personally. I purchased my first Morgan because I was tired of owning a vehicle which caused an instant reaction in other road users or the public. Yes, you shouldn't care what people think but most people do to one degree or another and the instant reaction grows tiring, whether you care or not. For instance, people not letting you out at junctions, boy racers driving like maniacs because they want to race you, etc. All things which even if you don't care what the people think about you/your car, still create issues when you are driving it. Driving a Morgan is the antidote to this. At worst you are met with indifference but more often than not you are met with positivity. If the car is stationary, it is common for it to become a pleasant talking point; so much so that we all joke that filling up is often a slow job as people want to talk about the car and tell you their own Morgan related stories. In my years of driving one, I have never had a negative reaction. The car is the celebrity, you are just the chauffeur!

So, if I had to sum up the ownership experience, I would say it is like a Labrador puppy

Loved by almost everyone, can give vast amounts of joy, will provide you with many stories and experiences and every once in awhile may create a small mess for you to clean up (because we all know as much as we love them, Morgans aren't perfect!)
