Do they offer a "deluxe funeral" package where your relatives can quickly take off wheels, suspension arms, etc. so it can be fit into a regular size grave? This could be a deal breaker.
Meh, as an ex motorcyclist motorcycles are still more dangerous, a crash in this is like being crushed inside a tin can, being a motorcyclist means YOU get crushed like a tin can if you land in front of an SUV😂
I would love to live in a world where I could drive one of these without the fear of getting ran over by a walmart shift managers platinum F-150 while I'm sitting at a stoplight.
Nice. I stopped riding motorcycles because I got smashed into sitting at a red light... and I wasn't stopping at a yellow, nope, just sitting there for over a minute then POW!!

Incredible that Mark and Jack can create a video that makes me feel connected to a car they are reviewing, it makes me feel something, and I rarely get that from watching car videos. Great Job!
I own a 2017 It is the funnest car ever. Guaranteed smile every time you get in let alone drive it. A 911 feels like a thunderbird in comparison. There’s a reason why none are ever for sale used. Nobody still alive wants to part with theirs.
It could be the last car you need to own as a senior, you crash, you die and your next of kin buries you and the entire car like a Cadillac in Las Vegas for a high roller gambler 😂jk
What a Treat!!!! After daily driving my 1962 Honda Super Cub 50 for the last 40+ years, the Morgan appears to be the perfect step up. Well Done! Thank you for this.
Also, finally the car guys are starting to get a small sniff of what it's like to ride a motorcycle.... you never feel more alive than when you are at your closest to death...
Anachronism taken to the nth degree. This would be a great third car for summer days out in the country, pushing it until it slides around, being silly. Love it
I disagree. This is a useless toy most people would never drive after a few months, if that long. Like Mark said, any more than 20 min in this thing and the experience would quickly shift over to annoying and perhaps downright terrifying. I'd skip this thing and just get a Miata, a car that is infinitely pleasurable to drive on those country roads.
@@dlg5485 I spend 2 hours at a time in mine and can’t wait to get back in it! You can’t compare a Miata to it. It’s its own thing and you have to experience it to understand.
That’s exactly what it is for! I’ve put 5500 miles on mine in 2 years. Such a fun car to take out on some backroads on a nice day. And everyone loves it! From the biggest meanest lookin Harley guy down to children. Smiles for Miles!!!
@@oregonhighway "Most people don't like them" That statement proves you have no idea what you're talking about. I've never known anyone who has actually driven a Miata to not fall in love with it. You're making sh*t up.
It’s as if these clowns know nothing of the Morgan three wheel history or modern day historic racing capability. Colin Chapman designed a three wheel F1 car and I believe versions or a version was built. It was the physics of no inside rear wheel lift that appealed, plus, being Chapman, weight saving. I have built and driven a three wheeler (the two wheels at the front naturally) and you’d have to try hard to flip it. I’m used to Americans saying their tools are best and their cars are best. Watch any Top Gear test of any American car more than ten years ago and sarcasm was the norm. Classically, Captain Slow’s sum up of the Chrysler Crossfire, “The slower you go, the better it is.”
OMG, and I almost never use this word, I ADORE this car. It's just so rudimentary. It's classy. It's history rolling on wheels. And I couldn't buy one because in Canada they don't know how to classify this so it can't be imported. Thanks for an awesome video guys.
I kept wanting for a "but..." and I think it finally came in the last couple of minutes. (That's if you don't count Jack's maniacal laughter while driving it)
Back in 2015 and again 2017 I've traveled to our neighboring country (Austria) to rent the 3 wheeler for an extended weekend and promptly did almost 3000 km (1800 mi) in total, going from Vienna to Slovenia's countryside and mountain ridges, experienced 35°C (95°F) heat while driving through Vienna, pouring rain while doing 100 km/h (62 mph) on the Austrian autobahn and driving at 6°C (42°F) through Slovenia at 3 am in the morning trying to return the 3 wheeler in time to Vienna, not feeling my face anymore and not seeing anything 10 m in front due to front lights being absolutely worthless (wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from razor blade sharp cold wind also doesn't help). The handling becomes a lot better once you overcome your fear of impending doom (and not looking at the front tires almost unnatural flexing during hard cornering) and you start trusting it. Like Mark said, it is basically the worst go-kart in the world and it performs this role flawlessly. I've surprised quite a lot of Alfa/BMW drivers through the mountain roads following them doing 100-120 km/h seeing their awe struck faces at the end of the road seeing this little coffin following them. Its either that or the fact I looked like a pale ghost being scared shitless doing such speeds as mentioned in the video, cornering at 60 mph feels like you're doing 200 mph at Le Mans. Max speed I dared to go was around 150 km/h (90+ mph) which feels like you're on the brink of death, the chain driving the back wheel rattling and vibrating in the transmission tunnel so violently you get the feeling the car will disintegrate to pieces right under you. Do not drive (or own) this car if you have an introverted personality. You draw crowds everywhere - people stop at crosswalks to take a picture, every stop at the gas station becomes a meet where strangers think you're the long lost crazy and fun uncle that they miss in their lives and what to chat about everything. There can be a literal pink Aventador with an enormous dildo stuck on the roof parked next to you and no one will even notice it. Just be sure where you're headed and don't get lost like I did in Vienna, forcing me to do a U-turn in a dead end street, which takes ages in a 3 wheeler due to absolutely pathetic turning radius, drawing a crowd of 30+ tourists taking pictures... Out of 50+ cars (from Golf R's to 430 Scuderia) I've driven in my 36 year lifespan, this is the best car I've ever had the privilege of piloting and hopefully, someday, I will save enough money to eventually own one. P.S: this car is best summed up by its fuel gauge - it shows 100% or 90% of fuel left for ages and then suddenly it drops to zero, causing you to panic and scramble to find the nearest gas station only to find that you managed to squeeze in only half of the tank (fuel tank capacity is 42 liters/11 gal). Then you ask the owner of the vehicle and they laugh at you, explaining that the fuel gauge is mostly cosmetic as it sits in the tube that connects 2 separate tanks and it shows 0% fuel remaining when you still have half a tank available. Ask me how I know....
I've hired one in Yorkshire but we managed about 50 miles a day including driving through the Yorkshire rain; I salute you @Kaaregorn. You must be insane. It is a wonderful car for brave folk.
As a motorcyclist this resonates & vibrates with me. That said I'd rather get something like an Exocet for like 1/3 the price. Or a motorcycle for 1/5th the price.
You're paying for the look at styling of that silly thing that's why its expensive. If you had money to burn the mono bac makes is the pinnacle of not actually buying a motorcycle. The bac is like a f1 car and a motorcycle meet. This thing here is just a death box on 3 wheels.
@@Pheonixco I think part of the appeal for things like this over motorcycles is supposedly safety....... but honestly if you get hit by a 6000lb behemoth I don't know that this would be any better than a bike.
My bet is that it would probably be worse than a bike. Much more to impale you and if you're not wearing gear more like rip skin open. Not that bikes themselves are all that safe but still pick your poison.
@@future62 It wouldn't be, and the cornering ability, braking, and acceleration of a bike give you options you wouldn't have in the Morgan. When I'm on my bike, my head is at a level higher than most SUV drivers'. With all that said, you have to admit these things are charming.
Mark moving upmarket from the Patagonia to the Kirkland Signature, you fellas must be doing quite well these days. Well deserved, congrats 🎉 Edit: Damnit I forgot to capitalize Signature, please Mr. Costco don't revoke my Premium Business™️ membership there's nowhere else I can get my Rao's Pasta Sauce by the pallet (see Mr. 'Co I even added the ™️ stamp because I respect you and the relationship I have with your brand so much)
Mark’s deadpan humor is so goddamn funny “If I had to spend more than 20 minutes at a time in here, I’d rather be in a hospital bed getting my asshole reamed out with a scope”. I nearly spit out my food from laughter.
I don’t know if it’s the type of lens they used, but it looks extremely fast. Like the Ariel Atom review, the way it’s filmed gives you a great sense of how it feels to drive the car
3-wheel Morgans are rolling nostalgia. Morgan started making them shortly after the wheel was invented or in 1911, whichever version you prefer. I believe that in the UK, first sons of noble families are forbidden from driving them unless they also have younger brothers.
Would you guys consider a trip to Japan (assuming the channel revenues allows for the cost) to try out the cars out there? They're pretty different to stuff around the world and it might also be interesting if you could do a documentary on your experiences (like the Porsche experience). Just an idea for something unique as none of the other channels have done this.
I live in Japan, and they would definitely enjoy some of the cars we have here! Specially in the kei-segment, to see what they think. Also would love for them to try out the Daihatsu/Toyota Copen! Such a fun little car!
@@ikemotosystems1434 I was being hopeful and thinking cars like the Century also, other variants of the Crown too. Does Honda do anything beyond Accord luxury in Japan?
Ha! You guys are driving Fish Lake Rd. I used to ride my motorcycles on that road, one of the best in the area! I didn't realize you we so close to where I live
The thing is, you've probably never been on a British countryside hedge-lined road where it's not only narrow and twisty with blind corners but the locals are basically used to driving it as a WRC stage That is what this car was made for, the joy of dicing with death on the backroads of England on a typical rainy day to make a Brit feel something
For just one fleeting moment while piloting this, they (the typical brit) will perhaps not be dead inside. Seriously though, I dont think the Geese could understand or recognise british car culture nor general european one if it bit them in the behind. Total antithesis to American one in most ways.
Bought mine this year from a farmer who only went to car shows with it. After 1000 miles the cam belt went costing a fortune to replace, also S and S have decided to discontinue the Vtwin X engine so spares are harder to get, still the most fun I'll ever have tho unless its raining !
My grandfather imported one of these after returning home from WW2. Even these newer versions are still only fit for when the male population was shorter/skinnier. Also Mark sounds like Kenny in that helmet.
The British tended to be smaller in the earlier 20th century. It is something to do with poor nutrition and stuff like that. It is said that they could spot the British dead in WW1 battlefields because they were smaller.
I talked to a guy at Caffeine and Octane with one of these and he was a great guy. Had one that had some extra work done to the engine, exhaust, etc. Sweet ride!
I have no idea why but in the final thoughts when Jack said the car’s made of wood and can be used as a coffin and then cut to the clip of the guy crying at the cemetery I cracked up. Also, the Morgan sounds pretty good!
There is not much wood in it. They are grossly over engineered and heavier than the pre-1952 Morgan three-wheelers. Three wheeler Morgans are just the job for motoring fun is an age of ludicrously low speed limits.
My sister in law & her boyfriend are just back in Scotland having toured a couple of thousand miles to the Swiss Alps with the Morgan club with these. Mad - YES... Grin - TOTALLY!
I owned a 3-wheeler for 5 years and enjoyed it a lot. You guys in the US have no idea of what "having fun while driving" is, otherwise you would not buy the pick up trucks you are driving😄 Greetings from Italy
I was seriously thinking about getting one until I looked into the engineering and build quality. So I ended up building my own that addressed many of issues mentioned here. A more accommodating cabin and triangulated tube chassis. much more storage space, shaft driven swing arm and vintage appearing details- no plastic crap. I may offer them as kits as well. See avatar. Cheers!
I actually laughed watching this video. Reminds me of the time fifty years ago I rode a Honda 450 from Texas to Ohio in April. Pure adrenaline and ignorance kept me going.
Hogwarts on wheels. How could anyone even speak of LCD screens when travelling in that? It’s like two kids stole a motor go kart and went for a joy ride! Fantastic car!
The starcraft soundtrack in the genesis was not missed. Sc1 and sc2 were some of the best games of all time. And what I think of when I think of Korea. Marine king prime and Boxer ftw, ok gg wp.
It's a damn good thing those guys working at Morgan put on face masks for the filming in their airy and sterile production garage. It just looks badass AF at this point.
My UK model is 85hp, its not designed to match a modern day car rather to allow the driver the feel of traditional motoring of the past, when I drive in London I'm always greeted by huge smiles, if I park near a supercar g/teed a crowd will gather to look at the Morgan first.
Every turn is an adventure in this thing. People often say that the joy of driving something like an MX-5 is that it isn't so powerful that you can't drive it anywhere near its limits legally on public streets. This vehicle takes that thinking to an entirely absurd level.
True. It would only be worth owning if you could drive it on interesting roads with minimal traffic. Being stuck in traffic with one of these would be horrible.
I would recommend checking out the Vanderhall Venice/Carmel. Its a vehicle that I feel takes all the best parts of a Morgan and fixes a lot of its flaws. On top of that brand new, starts at 30k. I purchased one due to seeing it on Jay Leno's garage and cannot tell you the feeling I get when driving it. Great video work as always, the touches of quality automotive cinematography is what I love seeing instead of a boring review of "oh this part is scratchy plastic, I don't like that." Thank you for that.
Nice review, thanks! I'm fantasising about buying one of these Morgan 3-wheelers, but all the secondhand ones have only covered a few thousand miles. Which suggests to me that the novelty of driving one probably wears off very quickly, then they remain garaged for most of their lives!
This has not got the views it deserves but if you ever question why you do these just watch this video. You can say to yourself “I made this because no one else would.”. Richard Hammond made this look glorious. You’re a lonely voice of reality. Please never stop.
So I completely spaced out. 🤣 I kept scrolling past this video, thinking it was some boomer channel, 'til I saw the Volvo episode, and was like "Wait, did SavageGeese skip an upload?" Here I am. 👍 Shows how much I expect you guys to be on the new-new.
Soooo funny seeing Mark wearing that Costco Kirkland sweatshirt. No shit, the last time we were in Costco about a week ago, I saw a stack of those and wondered who would pay good money just to wear an advertising banner for Costco. Well, now I know. Little stuff like this is why I love this channel. LOL
My "ah-ha" moment came when I saw that yes, by golly, they both fit in the car at the same time. I was on the edge of my seat -- as doubtless were they! I like looking at Morgan 3 wheelers. I'd like to drive one. I don't like either of those $45K. I'll keep my Super 7 with its Lotus twincam. It too is a coffin waiting to happen, but at least it goes around corners.
Was cross shopping this with a couple other options as a daily driver. I can't tell by this video if the Morgan is still something I should consider for my commute?
Not at all, too much technology and too expensive. Back in the day she Super Aero was only a few pounds dearer than a side valve family model. Riding in them is better than flying in a vintage biplane.
