Gerry,
I whole-heartedly agree. "My" Morgan was actually a Christmas gift that my
wife wanted. Through the years she has done some of the work on it but has
been keener on the driving, social & club aspects of ownership. She laughs
at "War of The Roses" & I can rest assured that she would never crush her
baby. As for the Mustang, that may not be safe!
Several thousand miles with nary a part falling off! There are similar
tales. A MSCCC couple did a Newfoundland & Maritimes tour (5,000 miles) last
summer. Only malady was a burnt out bulb! Another couple put on 21,000
kilometers during 1997 with no mishaps. Morgans can be no less dependable
than any mass produced LBC.
Cheers,
Fred Kuzyk

>> Gerry,

>>
>> 1) Don't buy your wife a sport utility vehicle.
>> 2) Hope she doesn't find out about the movie The War of the Roses
>> (whatever

>> 3) Don't get divorced.
>> 4) If you have failed in rules 1 and 2, and must break rule 3, hide the

>> first! :)

>> These cars are wonderful.
