I have! As have so many. I remember Sir John Harvey-Jones in the 'Troubleshooter' series going around the factory tut-tutting about the manufacturing process. He couldn't believe that the marketing guy waited for people to phone to order rather than advertise, advertise, advertise. He told Morgan, for example, that they should cut their years' long waiting list - when it was the cachet of having to wait so long that made a Morgan so tantalisingly desirable. He questioned how long they would last. Quite dismissive actually. Well, ahem, guess what? Morgan cars are beautiful, especially their V8. With an ash frame and aluminium it could accelerate like woopsie off a teflon shovel. (Poetry there methinks.)
