Good for you! That's the same reason I use her. You can get oil
filters anywhere, but only Penny has such things as rubber frame
blocks, windshield gaskets, bonnet hardware, and stuff like that. She
isn't getting rich servicing us Morgan nuts. I think I nickel and dime
her to death, but she's been stock solid reliable, has cheerfully
taken back the wrong stuff and is extremely knowledgeable about the
car. I order on a Monday, have it by Wednesday and have the rest of
the week to figure out how it goes on on Saturday.
I had a similar experience with "other" web pages. I subscribed to the
page for Toyota Land Cruisers (my tow-car and train car) and was
amazed at the volume and (dare I say it?) the low quality of the
eemail traffic. I was on that list for about a week and then
cancelled. I think this Morgan page is the best part of my day.
Cheers to all for a quiet end of the Summer!

Dear Mog-o-philes:
Just a quick note with little morgan content. I have renewed appreciation
for you all on the Morgans list, and the reletively quiet list we have here.
Earlier this week, I don't know, I guess I just lost my head: I subscribed
to the MGs list on Team.net and also to a Miata list elsewhere (Yes, I own a
91, my daily driver). Crimminy! In one day I received 150+ messages
(honest!). I have hastily retreated from both. The hotest debate on the
Miata list has NOTHING to do with cars, much less Miatas. People are all
worked up about the UPS strike and are debating the history of the labor
movement.
So, count this as yet another benefit to owning the last of the true sports
cars (at least until the Lotus Elise comes to the US): a nice quiet listserv!

p.s. thanks to all concerned for tips on oil filters, both paper and spin
on. I ended up calling Penny to order a few. Two reasons: we need folks
like Penny, and I haven't yet done any business with her and wanted her
catalog. Next (minor) project: muffler.
