I test drove a Nissan Leaf on Friday. Much more interesting IMO

Fine in the summer months but not so good when autumn comes...

Crisp handling in autumn, a bit dead in the winter, but a real buddy in spring?

Is that a Karma?

Sorry I had to pull the video, but someone pointed out to me that there was mention made by someone in the car of a slight transgression of the speed limit. Life can be so bloody boring at times!

I was on my phone. Could not see the Mac daddy on the back.
Nice ride.

A friend has just bought this. It is bonkers, absolutely bonkers. He loves it (replaces AM V12 Vantage) and I don't blame him. I will get to drive it soon, fingers crossed.
At risk of sounding like a grade 1 arch-tosser, I have been in a Veyron, but this was more exhilarating (although almost certainly because of being open - he didn't want the gull wing doors for practical reasons - they wouldn't open in his garage)

Gorgeous!! I'm hoping for a ride in the one on the right here:
It's an F430 Scuderia 16M Spyder. Very special indeed. Tony

Sounds wonderful! So who's that ugly bloke with the camera then?

Er, my, erm, twin. Yeah that's it. Not identical twin, of course

Beautiful. They are really compact aren't they. Do you know what these new versions cost? Some are supposed to be coming to the States and I'm curious as to how far beyond my means they will be.
Thanks

A big thank you Tony. More reasonable than I thought it would be. Price may be right as I think the UK price includes VAT. We get taxed in other ways over here!
I'd love to drive one.

No problem Clay. If I manage to drive or ride in the wee beasty I'll let you know what I think.
From memory, Morgan became aware of a company in the US that was making something similar. Worth investigating?

Clay,
I just found this, which confirms what I thought:
Enter Pete Larsen, a self-taught engineer from Seattle, USA. I drove his beautifully engineered, Harley-Davidson-engined Morgan tribute, the Liberty Ace, back in 2008.
Discreet enquiries were received from Morgan as to whether it might be worth them going to see Pete in Seattle. “Your endorsement certainly helped make up our minds,” says Steve Morris, Morgan’s operations director. He travelled to Washington State, liked what he saw and bought out Pete, who’s now one of the first Morgan Three Wheeler dealers in the US.
