    Basic rule of being a car enthusiast: no matter the horsepower, if you love driving the dammed thing, then drive it. Some of the best cars are the oddest, or slowest, or have quirks people dont get, but to you, it's those things that make it fun.
    Nice purchase.

    Which are even prettier.

    Great. I have an Aston Martin V12S manual, Porsche 991.1 GTS and also a MORGAN👍. Which one do I drive as my daily even though I also have a Discovery. The Morgan is used as my daily. Do have the advantage that I live in NZ and weather here is a bit different. You will love this vehicle forever. Not only does it put a smile on my face but on everyone else's. Keep up the good work and enjoy.

    Including the steering wheel, the 3 wheeler is actually one of the only four wheeled cars. Which inherently makes it more of a car than any other, regular - five wheeled - car.

What's it like to live with long term. Have you taken it on a track or hill race day? Do you still have it? More please or I cancel my subscription to your amazing channel so there. Ok maybe that's going a bit far.

    At least Morgan got it right by having two wheels at the front unlike the idiotic Reliant with one wheel at the front which was great when cornering as it would flip over, and even more fun in the snow !

      Sorry also built a Pembleton 3 wheeler the word here is built perhaps if the guy driving the Morgan had built one he would appreciate it a lot more. I just felt he was trying to be funny but for me it didn't work. Morgan 3 wheelers are great but are a copy of the American Liberty Ace really. I sold my Pembleton and now wish I hadn't I was very silly 4 years to build then let her go I must have been nuts.
