Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Surprisingly, she still likes chatting with me

Hello! A recent post by Axool (a Caterham fan now on his first Morgan) in the CX forum raised the question of wind noise and how to deal with it, and I felt this deserved its own thread. At speeds above about 80 km/h in our +4 normal conversation becomes almost impossible. This is particularly off-putting for my wife and daughters, all of whom (surprisingly) enjoy a good chin-wag whilst galavanting about with dad in his folly. This led me to wonder what solutions others have come up with. Earplugs obviously don't help solve this. I've tried noise-cancelling airpods and phone calls, though it's a bit odd to be calling the person sitting 10 inches away from you, and there is a bit of a time-lag which is irritating. I have thought about those motorcycle intercom systems, and I wonder if anyone has tried these or other solutions?

Sorry Bob a bit obtuse even for you.. Shiny is Alistair's name for her, this video is her and does her justice..

Well I turn my hearing aids up to take full advantage of my Librands dual Sports exhaust, mind Heather does say don't speak so loud when I get back after a run out.

21 years of it now.

Congrats to the crew who created a video which must be one of the best around in extoling the art and craftsmanship built into such an iconic piece of timeless automotive design...

That is indeed the very same, not just a little moist bottom mark either..... with all due love and respect.
If you want to share any background (not meant rude) a PM is welcome.

Don't forget the mark on the roof where the camera man and ladder fell on it.

She is a very very special little minkey. She is parked in Dartmouth this evening to bring more smiles to the faces of the public at large.

Geneva Motor Show.
X-Car Video
Top Gear
Various fashion shoots with Mrs Morgan

I have been a lucky person to have looked after it for 12+ years and seen all the smiles as people see it.

I am a lucky man in many many ways.

VX13DDN was the factory demo car used in this video as well as Top Gear, The Geneva motor show and many other things.

My good lady saw the video and sent it to me as I was travelling and said "what about this is, it's a hard top and so should not leak" which was a joke concerning our current Series 2 at that time which did a little. I had hoped to use the Series 2 as my daily but it was not quite practical. The idea was that we could have one car instead of a daily and a fun one. She was a petrolhead as well.

Alex Goy who has made some really great videos under the X-Car banner and other threads was brilliant, answered some questions I had and said some nice things about Shiny as it became know in our circle. Daily, okay that's optimistic.

We took it on holiday, driving it down through France to Italy many times and it now has around 40,000 on it. It has not been trouble free but it made our world better in every way.

In Monaco they moved a brand new just released Ferrari 512TdF from the hotel steps and put the Coupe there every day. It was surrounded as people took selfies. In London they moved a brand new Rolls to put the car in front of the Dorchester. It does not matter where you go, people just go slack jawed and stare. Then there is the noise.

For certain reasons it is likely to be up for sale this spring. Things change.
