Hello fellow Morgan enthusiasts!
I have a story to share from this past weekend.

I was driving over a small manhole cover when suddenly, my shock absorber was torn off.
There was a loud noise, and the car veered to the left, becoming quite unsteerable.
Thankfully, I managed to bring the car to a safe stop.
Upon a preliminary inspection, it seems that the shock absorber tearing off led to the disconnection of the belt driving the servo, among other components.

This occurrence was quite startling, especially since it happened while I was driving.
We haven’t assessed the full extent of the damage yet.
So, I just wanted to remind everyone to stay safe while out on the roads.

Thank you!

Yes, thankfully, it was a slow part with 120 km/h (approximately 75 mph).

Before that, I was driving over 200 km/h (about 124 mph) on an unrestricted part.
So, luckily, it happened on the "slow" part.
