I think it was long until the slipstream pushed it up :p

[Venomator]

Usual high standard Joe ... :thumbs: ... AND it's Green ... :love:

Extra-Super images and big brownie points ... :D


So how come you didn't get to give it a go then ... :shrug:

Number four for me, the water in the background makes the shot. :clap:

I do feel the photos are slightly over sharpened. On a few places you have some jaggies appearing.

I wondered when the Morgan was going to put in another "apperance".
Great stuff Joe :thumbs:

[Cobra]

I keep asking myself the same question! :p :( :D
Maybe he thinks your a better tog than a driver :shrug: :p (ducks fast)

Really? Wow, what a strange rule! Is that so that if you roll, and your arm falls out the window, the damage will be less....? 'Cos that's what would be on your mind at that moment.... :D

[Techno-Geek]

Oh that is it joe, just keep showing off :lol:

I really like all of them mate, maybe the best one for me is the last one :thumbs:

[Matt Sayle]

I like 4! they are all nice images though! As for the car, I envy your dad for owning one!

[Janice]

Dont you just love those Morgans. I went out in one a few months back......fantasic.
Lovely shots Joe.

[admirable]

md:thumbs:

:agree:

[gribbsy]

Nicely done. #4 is definitely the best for me. The panning is great but the light really makes it.

[romper stomper]

love number four dude :) It a home built kitcar? looks like great fun thats for sure

[Wail]

Excellent series, you've done the car justice BIG time ... and you really captured the motion well. Thanks for posting these :), a pleasure to look at.

[Joe T]

Thanks for all the kind words all. :)

For those of you not in the know, Morgans are still produced today pretty much like the one you see above. They are all handbuilt. A link to the company website is here (http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/).

My Dad's was made in '96 as you can see from the P-registration. It has been highly tuned from the original 190bhp, and it now makes c275bhp (not bad for a car weighing less than a ton). Not directly as part of the tuning, a new 'short' engine was put in after the old one destroyed itself. The original was the 3.9 Rover V8, and it was replaced with the 4.6 version. Much of the old engine remains and you can still see the 3.9 Litre inscription on the top!

[macky799]

That will be the wing stays rattled loose after that run :lol:

We had a 1980's plus 8 through our workshops recently. Owner had done a lot of work on it himself, quite a bit of which needed re-doing...

I like the look of Morgans, but I didn't like the driving position (and I'm used to some of the wierd driving positions you need on some classic cars) and the ride quality of this particular Moggie was shockingly awful!

Nice shots :)

[King of Groove]

It's alright Dad the car is still in one piece! Great pics btw!
