I don't recall the challenge about Bosch but if it was something long the lines of they've lost their way on quality and are trading purely on their previous good name, i definitely stand by it but i have to agree, almost every manufacturer is still doing exactly the same. I'm not sure that there aren't any really bad cars any more, i still think there are - the situation as i see it is there are no really good cars now so there's nothing to compare the bad ones to, they are all mediocre with little or no character.
Morgan is still an interesting concept Dave, if I had a spare £90,000 I'd probably get one.

I think it was Mr Honda that said (paraphrasing) that one day there would only be 5 car manufacturers in the world, but one of them would be Morgan :-)
