- But how do you know you hit 128 mph? Just curious, was it based on the speedometer, tachometer, timed distance? The reason I'm asking is that, back in the '60s, I used to have a TR2 that was capable

- Arlo, Could be time for a Brooklands windscreen, or a cut down full width screen like Fred Sisson's! Jerry Murphy '67 +4 Got it up to 105 on a flat 2 lane one day! Sure was loud!

- Good job!!!! Perhaps if I found a road which dropped a foot a mile, I might get the Plus 4 to that speed. It must be nice to have roads suitable for serious flogging without a major risk of a mega t

- With radial tires, the growth at speed is really not significant. This is even more the case if the tires are H or above speed rated, which normally requires use of a nylon top belt. Ken Payne 63 Plu

- Buy a Vette??? Who are you kidding??? They are sorta fast but a Viper makes them seem a wee bit wimpy. Sorta like a 4/4 versus a Plus 8 Cheers, Ken Payne

- 130 MPH in a Vette does not feel like 130MPH in a Morgan. I have driven my Morgan Plus 8 at over 130 (inidcated on speedometer), but it does require brooklands screens. Sensation of speed vs actual s

- 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 th

- I agree. The best sensation of speed I can remember is as a passenger in a Lotus Seven, with the little posts on the side of the road passing like a picket fence and the windshield located somewhere
