Pure Awesome: Morgan Threewheeler

By -
Morgan makes some of the coolest cars on the market today. Some people think that they looked dated. Well, yeah, sorta. Its more that they have not changed in so long that they have gone from current, to dated, to retro. Some of their latest models are simply gorgeous, and drive well to boot, ash (real wood) frame and all.

For example, the Aero 8. Mmmm

However, Morgan used to be known for more than quirky cars. They also used to build quirky threewheelers. I have actually seen a couple of these over in the Lake District in the UK, and I have some pics of them somewhere I will try and put up.

And so now Morgan is bringing it back. And it looks fantastic.

In other words, it should be a crazy little thing. Hell yeah Morgan, screw the 21st century, its more interesting with these guys running around.

Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
