Hey Gang,
So....
Has anyone seen the latest (July 2000) "Automobile Magazine?" It contains a
review column on the Morgan Aero 8 which goes beyond merely scurrilous.
Robert "Chowderhead" Cumberford really trashes the car's "ham-handed
amateur" design and specifically the "blobby, cross-eyed nose."
In the column he also pretty thoroughly trashes the Plus 4 Plus.
Otherwise the mag is not very interesting, certainly not worth buying to
just read Chowderhead's base calumnies. If you see the mag on a newstand,
just flip to page 48, read the trash to get your adrenalin flowing, then
leave the mag with the store, hopefully to be returned to the publisher
unsold...
Further to our discussions on cooling the passenger compartment, I have
located a phone number for Thermo Tec Racing Products who offers both
insulating mat material and header pipe insulation as well as other heat
insulating products. (NOTE that header wrap does NOT generally give the best
results as it may accelerate deterioration of the underlying steel but it
definitely reduces engine compartment heat.) Anyway, a free brochure at
800.274.8437 and a website at www.thermotec.com.
Cheers!
