Mom, and stepdad (and by extension, me) have been in the Morgan +4 Club since 1972, and they now own 4 Morgans they accumulated in the years hence.

Heck, they're in England 'Morganing' round the countryside right now, with the 4th of those, which they keep in storage in England so they have it to drive when they pop over.

Suffice to say it was a particular thrill to see STEPHEN, one of my favorite dudes ... getting picked up in a Morgan!
