While visiting England I ran across a few Morgans that were out running around for the day. Thought some of you might like the pics.

I bet you didn't realise Morgan are putting them back into production - http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/3-wheeler
2-litre V-twin engine, that should make the teeth rattle!
Not sure how long Morgan's order book is nowadays - it used to be several years, but I believe its shorter nowadays

I love the machines, but I admit I keep expecting to see horses...

I spotted this one at the Delta Diner in NW Wisconsin.  Minnesota plates.  Quite handsome in the flesh.
