The Midsummer Story | Full Film 

👍From one "Analogue Man" to another.

@@slydermartin6008 Indeed, my friend! There is nothing like the joy of experiencing a complex mechanism operate perfectly, to hear it and to imagine the countless hours of design and skilled craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. My work is in designing software - the antithesis of this in many ways. For me, I have to do physical, analogue things to compensate, such as woodworking and to use mechanical things (ie. watches, vehicles) where possible! Cheers from Sydney - (old fashioned) Dave

@@deldridg Sixteen thumbs up. I'm a builder....total Analogue Man....and this Machine.....speaks to both of us! Cheers Brother!

@@slydermartin6008 I envy you mate. You can drive around and appreciate the wonders of your hard work and skill. That has to be satisfying. For me, I have to rely on feedback (hopefully positive) from my clients that my efforts were't in vain. However, sitting at a table I've built and using a chair or cabinet I've designed and laboured over is very rewarding. I try not to use machinery where possible and hand cut all my dovetails, mortise/tenons etc. and do all the finishing by hand. Takes a long time but I'm not earning from it and it's immensely joyful. I still remember my son, at 6 asking if there's a chance he'll get his bunk bed and drawers before he leaves home! Cheeky bugger. I did eventually finish them and I know he was pleased with the bookmatched frame and panel Australian Red Cedar cupboard doors, the 88 handcut mortise and tenon joints, the 6 hand-dovetailed drawers, hand sanded to 2000 grit etc... 🤣

@@deldridg Mortise and Tenons????? You can stop right there! By hand? You are either a masochist or not an Ass Sitter. Going with a NON-ass sitter!!!

That would be the Indians who now own Pininfarina.

💯

I got very close to buying a 3 wheeler a few years ago. Prices now are not reasonable. Morgan only makes a small number of vehicles. Now they want 911 money. It’s not worth that. I do t need to buy one to find out.

As Morgan insists on Handmade, increasing production and lowering prices seems difficult. I'd like to buy Morgan too, but I'm one of the ones who can't afford to pay for it, but I'm skeptical about price cuts. Too low prices can degrade product quality, attract irresponsible street drivers to reclaim the brand's value. Controlling production numbers and prices is very challenging. There are many things to consider besides Margins and Affordability.

c’est la vie … if the business model works … the profit is there … and they remain true to them unique engineering roots … then so be it … best play the lottery

Of course! Do what companies like Triumph and Dyson do - source cheaper materials, develop automated production and have manufacturing outsourced to Malaysia! Brilliant!

Is this Indian-designed car a good thing to associate with something called "British Invasion"?

@@pistonburner6448 "British Invasion". For those "of a certain age" the reference does not need to be explained. "Indian Designed"? Hmmmmmm

@@slydermartin6008 Yes, in case you don't know: Pininfarina was sold to India.

@@pistonburner6448 And? Wear a hat and no one will see your point.

@@slydermartin6008 You're not intelligent enough to get a very simple point.

Rustom has a brother called Custom Mazda I believe

Use a new Chrysler Hurricane TT Inline Six, in a successor to the 3000,... Oh, yeah,...

Not to be rude - but it isn’t Morgan’s fault the economy and the market has moved away from your mean. Also Morgans are also largely unchanged for decades, and you can find great older examples for pretty reasonable money. Halo cars like this are expensive yes - but they bring attention to the brand and allow them to show off new ideas. I’m just glad they exist, it’s inspiring.

@@jonnowocky8179 Don't worry, you're not rude. I I can afford, but not justify, the Morgan. I was primarily speaking for others who are in a different position. Additionally Morgans were not so far off pricing of other Brit sports cars up to the 80s. Just histlory.

Or rollbar 😮

A design full of details, and the bmw gear lever.

160k is extremely cheap for a hand built car with such level of detail.

Nailed it!

Doesn't look that way. More like the local Distributor doesn't want to get type approval, instead pushing customers towards vehicles they already have in stock.

Model3 drive unit under the rear, and battery packs up where the ICE power unit is, should have similar balance.

Do you want it reformatted for tiktok too? 😂
