Great video guys thank you - I’ve ordered one of the last builds this year before they add an air bag so thank you. (Wanted an aftermarket wooden steering wheel) .That open diff is a real challenge and needs serious care and attention as full throttle in first results in skipping sideways - but soooo much more engaging and involving than my 911.

Ah mega, let us know how you get on. IMO a bit less power and a manual box will be spot on! 😎👌

Excess power makes a car effortless which makes for relaxed driving knowing you have more than enough power in any situation. For me that’s a positive not a negative.

@RickTheSpud

Ай бұрын

To a point, if the chassis can handle it. Doesn't make it effortless in this, it makes it sketchy! No LSD and struggling to put power down in 4th is not relaxed. Rather have less power and use all of it.

Awesome video! I was at a factory tour last year, loved it. Its also good to see Pete again; I last saw him on the Alfaholics Petrolhead tours video.

Another great video. I love that Morgan. I think my only "con" would be the "use case" of it? Is it anymore than a day out car do you think given luggage space. Would you track it? Is it a case of less would be more like you guys were saying? Sorry rambling on for a Friday. Love this video mate. One of my faves. Hopefully going forwards i think you'd do great with the whole car / press car review and i hope you get the opportunity! Oh and thanks for the little Silver Renault, her first foray on the internet. It's available to test whenever you like mate!

No worries mate! 😆 Yeah you could track it, maybe a bit soft for it but you definitely could. Fast enough. Modern enough. Altho I'd track anything, and my 'track' car is old and slow but still fun. Longer trips away for luggage space might be a bit of an issue, I'd love to know what Morgan owners do with luggage, stuff it behind the seats maybe. Luggage box? Dunno. Good to see you up there mate, car looked super smart, will definitely have to meet up and do some sends in the French beast! 😇👌

I'm pretty sure you can get luggage racks for the rear of the car, but yeah I see this as a car you keep in the garage and take out for a blast at the weekend. Or even a fun commute to the office if you don't need to take stuff with you. This and similar-ish kit cars aren't really designed to be dailies / tourers / family cars, they're just fun toys. That's how I see them anyway. I own a Tiger Cat E1 and that has zero practicality - it's loud, fast and ridiculous though, just how I like my cars :)
