I still have a red Ford 2001 Ranger.  Great little truck for errands.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

Well Dave, as long as the Morgan is more reliable than a Reliant...



I've ridden in one of these. Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure...

Anyone else remember the Dean Martin "Matt Helm" T-bird with the readout in the taillights?  (BTW - I loved Dino, but I liked the books MUCH better.)

How did you lower yours?  Oops, I went back an reread your post.  I see.  Where did you get your springs?

The springs are made by BMR. http://www.brenspeed.com/sp009.html

You'll also need an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the differential after lowering.

Cool GT6, Mojo!

Those Morgan 3-wheelers caught my eye as well.  There's a fun car creator tool up on their site:

The reverse-trike would hopefully be a bit more stable than that Reliant!  :o  ;D

LOL! 

The Morgan is a real car, whether with three wheels (the single wheel is in the rear) or four.

Can the Reliant can compete with this?  :)



I wouldn't mind having a classic style Morgan +4 either.
