Ric,

I just read an article in the NY Times on that Perverts Delight; the 
Morgan.  Several of my friends owned  Morgans. 
They were awful to drive even on the smoothest of paved roads.  On road 
race courses they were a joke.  I raced
against Morgans with my AC Bristol, and beat every one.

As usual the Times even screwed up the country of origin of the 
Bugatti.  (It was French, you AH!).  I visited the old
Bugatti works and castle at Molsheim , FRANCE.    They even sold me an 
old  steering wheel from a Bugatti model 59.
