An absolutely inspired thought, but one which may have to wait for
Peter's departure, as he was once quoted as having said something
like, "We will tell you about it when exists". So much for talking about
what they may be working on. MMC isn't on the Internet yet so far as
I am aware, although some employees read the "List" as do a number
of U.K. Agents. Maybe you won't have to wait too much longer.
Possibly also, MMC's new newsletter, "The Malvern Link" will develop
into something similar to what you desire. There is a partial reflection
of it on the Brands Hatch web site. <http://www.bhm.uk.com/>
I'd be grateful personally if someone would take the trouble to update
the Morgan Motor Co. web site. The Works have changed so much in
the past three years that nothing on it much reflects the current
production process which is exceedingly improved.

Can we possibly hope you will both be too arthritic by then, or will you both
be have mastered voice recognition technology? Anyway, judging by you two,
isn't the best Morgan the one you happen to own?

BTW, this mysterious Mr. Towner must have been at the Works on
Wednesday or Thursday because Charles had neither seen nor heard
about the "Car & Driver" and "Road & Track" articles on Tuesday morning
(16:20 GMT) when he returned my call. The whole thing sounds a bit
apocryphal to me. Could it be that someone else has an agenda as well?
Cheers,
Willie
