Awesome - Morgan AeroMax
Anyone else seen this? Just an awesome looking car, and I like the old-school appeal.

He takes some grief from his co-hosts for owning one of those.

When they gave him crap about his Morgan, I thought it was the convertible Aero 8. The coupe is just gorgeous .

Maybe so. At my age, it's so easy to be confused.

Even cooler, it was penned by a Morgan design intern. Kudos to the company for not just throwing out his sketches.

I think that the Aero 8 came before the Mini. Of course, they very well could be the same lights, there's plenty of BMW bits used in the Aero cars.

I like the Aero, and particularly the later series without the 'cross-eyed' headlights. 'Winding Road' has a flattering piece on them that I received today, saying they are emblematic of the performance car of the future - more with less (weight). Looks great up close, too.
