What do you think of these? Not much power and the handling is said to be tricky at best

BTW, those a 3 wheel Morgans of old vintage.... So old that they have the timing lever on the steering wheel like an old tractor .. I guess you retard the timing so they are easier to start and then advance the timing to make more power...

It was a happenstance.. I had gone to the Miata shop and some guys walked in just looking and one of them mentioned the English Car gathering at Berry College in North Georgia. I decided to go there in the spur of the moment. It turned out to be a rather long drive, but since I just had a supercharger installed in the Miata, I enjoyed the opportunity for a long drive.
Anyway, I got to Berry College, which looks a lot like something out of the English or European countryside, and found an astonishingly large group of people with all sorts of English cars arranged over many acres of the most beautiful green grass filed... It was really neat, I took tons of pictures. The Morgan trikes were very cool, specially the red one which was in pristine condition. There were lots of Morgan 4s, plus4's and 8's too, as well as a terrific veriety of other English cars... Neat experience that was...

Here are some more:






The first one, I forget the make and details.. I asked and they told me, but I can't remember.

The second and third pictures are of 2 Hillman Minxes. I reember those quite well as they were very much like the very first car my family got we we came to the USA back in '62.... It was a 2 tone, 4 door Hillman Highlander. Looked a lot like the white one in the picture....
