[Before i start, if you dont have anything constructive to say, please click Back. I know i could buy all sorts with £24 odd grand, but i dont want 2 mondeo ST220's or a BMW whatever. Thanks]

Anyway, Mainly been driving:

2004 Morgan 4/4 - what a cracking car, was really quite fast, loud, and got noticed

was well specced for a morgan rental car, and im quite prevalidged, as im the only 21 year old who has ever hired one out from morgan (usually have to be 25). All in all it was a great day out, topless all day and it was fantastic. Covered 160 great miles. Now all ive gotta do is find one i like for sale

Im still in the process of uploading pics of the car, and the factory tour i took afterwords to HERE for those interested.

Not my cup of tea but fair play.

What car does Richard Hammond drive? The modern classic looking one.

James_N · 9 Feb 2006 at 18:21

his is the roadster (V6)

Firestar_3x · 9 Feb 2006 at 18:22

Has he still got that?

In one of the episodes after the morgan thing he said he has just got a 911.

Lol, I see you come here often

the Hamster has indeed just bought a 911. Not sure about his other cars tho.

Very nice btw.

Different strokes for different folks, can't see the appeal myself, but looks like a lovely machine

rG-tom · 9 Feb 2006 at 23:00

now THAT is cool (the second one)

Definitely different than your average motor! what's the specs on the engine of the one you're lookin to get?

Tom.

Second one looks good but the first looks like something taken from the 1930's.

Clarkey · 9 Feb 2006 at 23:05

are they BMW mini lights on that aeromax?

edit - seems not.

1.8 Zetec engine (115BHP). it really did go, and the NOISE

made my civic type r sound like a lawnmower. It really was fantastic, but it wasnt all about the speed. it was great fun just to cruise round at 50mph and see everyones reactions

[TW]Fox · 9 Feb 2006 at 23:20

Are you saying Zetec engines > Honda VTEC's?

I know im comparing two totally different cars, but i enjoyed driving the morgan more than i enjoyed driving the civic. Maybe because the civic tempts me to drive like a tool, and the morgan not. but i was VERY impressed with the engine

Stunning, absolutely stunning. They really are my cup of tea. If you get one of those ill be very jealous.

glad someone likes them

I like them because they are have modern engines, but on top, have style and class. and depriciation is virtually zero. Ok you pays ya money for one, but they dont lose much.

The factory tour was very interesting, to see them building the cars with the precision they do, amazing.

All the pics are in the gallery now
