I grew up with my parents, two sisters and grandma. I had my own bedroom, my sisters shared a bedroom, and my grandma had her own bedroom. And I was so upset and jealous that my sisters had each other to hang out with at bedtime that I would "sneak" into my grandma's bedroom every night and stay up WAY too late with my grandma watching TV, drinking soda, and eating junkfood. My grandma had three daughters and I was the only boy in two generations. I'd hang out in her room and we'd first watch MASH or Coach, and then I would fall asleep watching Jay Leno every night. She had such a crush on you, Mr. Leno (you won't read this, I bet). But if you do, you are part of the best memories of my life. Thank you, sir. (Also, I was a mechanic for 18 years before becoming a truck driver...haha)

The very way he collects not just a vehicle but the history of the previous owners speaks volumes about his humility. I may not have thought he was funny but I'm sure glad that he was given that job to make the money he has spent pursuing a love of automobiles we all share. The man is likely far too busy playing in the shop but I hope someone tells him thank you for the millionth time anyway!

The shop was anything but luxurious it was at the end of a shed (pier) that is 85 to 90% a fish company’s and it smells like it too.

That new Morgan looks stunning. What a great homage to the original Morgan. I love the design of the new Morgan, especially those large wheels with the disc covers which is a great looking design for this vehicle. I would imagine you'd get quite a bit of interest and questions if you drive one of these beautiful machines around whatever town you may live in. Especially on a weekend day out and about on the open rode. I rode Harley Davidson's for years and this is a much more interesting machine. I would much rather be driving one of these in my older age than a two wheeled motorcycle or even a trike. This little baby is the perfect vehicle for where I live in Colorado, as you could drive through the beautiful mountain passes and back roads of our beautiful state. The only problem is you could only use it half the year, but oh what a half it would be.

My first car was a Morgan F-Type (small Ford engined) 3 wheeler - I had a race with a hearse on the way back from buying it - the hearse won! The men inside with top hats removed were willing me to over-take them through the glass but the Moggy just wouldn't do it. Later I fitted an aquaplane aluminium cylinder head and an SU carb. In England you could drive a 3 wheeler at 16 rather than 17 for a 4-wheeler in those days and they were cheaper to tax and insure.
