Quite true. Last year I read an interview with Jay Lenno. He was given a new
Ferrari Marinello 550 to test drive. In describing his impression of speed,
he mentioned his Morgan trike and said that the illusion of speed in the
trike was better than the actual speed in the Ferrari 'cause you were so
open and close to the ground in the Morgan. Bang on Moggers. Now you don't
have to spend $250k for the "F" car, just buy an F type. STU ROSS (63 +4)
