Morgan Plus Four and Morgan Plus Six vs The Yorkshire Dales PART 2
following on from meeting Spencer from Instagram's Dales Plus Four and @morganmotorcompany Tales from the Dales fame
ruclips.net/video/Ajc4WXpx1E0/видео.html
I manage to get myself happily lost around Dent; with a cobble stone village, tractor dodging, lorry abusing and sheep herding before getting to the next meeting point. Jumping to DAY 2, there's a morning of thrashing across the dales, showing how much fun can be had within the limits.... when I say limits, I mean limits, speed limit, the car's limits and my limited driving ability. I come to the conclusion that the Chair of the Morgan Sport's Car Club is a nutter and an absolute joy to have on a road trip.

General Election Sound bites on SEND. Is this system broken or did it never get started?
Просмотров 43День назад
Is the SEND system broken or did it never get started? I reflect on the Conservative and Labour headline on the BBC News Today programme on Tuesday and the segment featured on BBC radio 4’s PM programme on Friday, whilst driving back from the children’s commissioners conference. I tire of views that suggest the system is broken. The system places children at the heart of decision making, with E...
autism show 2024, the interviews
Просмотров 4014 дней назад
A little something different at the Autism Show 2024 this year. In addition to my talk on 'why my pants stop me going to school', this year I decided to, albeit tentatively, interview some exhibitors and attendees. I wasn't sure if the kit would work, or what sort of feedback I would get, yet by the second day I'd plucked up the courage to give it a go. What a fantastic response I got. The firs...
MORGAN PLUS SIX & MORGAN PLUS FOUR vs the YORKSHIRE DALES, part 1
Просмотров 26914 дней назад
I take my Morgan Plus Six up to the Yorkshire Dales to meet up with Spencer of instagram's DalesPlusFour and @morganmotorcompany video. Joining him with a group of other CX platform owners, we were looking for a driving experience not normally associated with a Morgan in the countryside. Did this live up to expectations, or was this just a poodle to the pub? In this video you'll get a bit of 'w...

The Bike Shed Custom Show is an event not to miss, which it appears that this year many people did. A quiet day on Sunday, which meant viewing the bikes was all the easier.

Taking my MORGAN PLUS SIX on a track day at Goodwood with Brands Hatch Morgan

One overcast and far from warm day in May 2024 I embarked upon my first track day in my Plus Six at Goodwood for the first time. Taking my track guru AC, we head off to see what this bad boy can do. Amongst a sea of Morgans is it The Daddy. A great day all in all. We took the average age down somewhat, yet there isn't a group nicer than Morgan owners, so we were made to feel very welcome.

Morgan Plus Four LM62, a blast down the lanes
A very well made point of view from someone who clearly knows a lot about the subject.
That tall dude sitting in the Morgan makes it seem the size of a Caterham 🥸. What a wonderful drive. Thanks for the video.
You get to see his full height in part 1, he’s a giant 🤣
It’s pronounced Malvern as in Mall /All
Yep, the announcement on the train clarified 👍🏻
Lol I thought that was me for a minute. No spotlights - I'm safe.
I’d have been round to have a word if it was.
@@julian_theviews5011 LOL
My Father-in-Law's golf cart is bigger and probably more powerful than that thing.
That’s highly likely
Hi Jules, can i ask what year you left the school (and which Form you were in when you left)? Also the guys accompanying you... I was at SDC 1984-1995, remember the old house ties being worn by boys in the main school when i was in the Prep. Department, but we moved to the 4-house system sometime around 1987 i think (Forder, Hecker, Stuart, Usherwood). I remember many of the places you guys walked around, and will probably try to visit later this year for the first time in 20-odd years... Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I left in 88 from the lower sixth. Ade and Keith are a few years younger than me….. maybe they departed 93/94?
Cheers!
Lols! I drive a milk tanker thru that lane
Picture evidence going through the ford please 👍🏻
Great video but awful loud music!
You’re a bit Tate to the party on that one. Thanks for watching and getting through it. Later vids are better (I hope)
Following him on the left lane? Left lane is fast traffic!!! Your worse than him!
In the UK, the left lane is the driving lane with lanes 2 and 3 on the right for overtaking.
Great video. I sold my Roadster 4 years ago and I’m now thinking of buying the new Plus 4. Is the ride a suspension much better with the new chassis? Many thanks.
The new 2024 Plus Four is going to feel like all your dreams have come true. The chassis, suspension, brakes, engine…. All so so much better. You’ll love it. The Plus Six is a different beast altogether. A monster of a car.
Thank you very much. I’m test driving one early next week. It’s had the recall for the brakes and a new radiator which comes with a factory 2 year warranty. I hoping that’s fixed the problem, which I understand is a concern for potential owners.
I had a LM62 Plus Four. Had the recall for the brakes and radiator. I didn’t experience any issues after completion. Are you going manual or auto. If auto, use the paddles. The gear box isn’t calibrated to the weight of the plus four (prob the Z4), this means it jumps about a bit at low speeds. the resistance is so low the box can’t decide on the best gear. This isn’t an ‘issue’ just makes for a slightly smoother ride at times. I had the manual, which I really liked. Gearing is long though, not sure I ever used 6th.
Thanks again, this is so helpful. It’s the auto as I hoped the box would preform like it does in my BMW. I now think I need to try the manual as well. The Roadster was great but it was just so tiring a ride and with the chassis/ suspension setup I could never really explore the engine to its true capacity especially with my driving skill set!
Try both…. and rag it!
AKA kit car challenge
‘Beautiful’ kit car challenge I think you meant to say 😆
Right lane I could understand. Don’t see the issue with middle lane, helps with smoother flow of traffic from on ramps.
highwaycode.org.uk/rule-264/
Love the effort but man, would have loved to see this in landscape mode. Portrait mode does give you more height, but the dales deserve landscape mode 😅
I agree, an error when I started recording. Had to follow the format through.
Love the smooth suspension bounce.
You have to watch it at high speeds though. Can get a little bit too bouncy.
Fantastic Morgan drive in the Dales. I 🧡 the 6 line turbo sound
@@TheOrangeEliseCup250 the roads, omg the roads
And you sir are a fat lane coaster!
Would love if you did another video on your Morgan, you make the best reviews on RUclips for this car. Could you make a video that mentions the seats and your opinion on them for long journeys?
I’ll get onto it 👍🏻
Middle lane driving or holding a phone whilst driving?
Swan neck phone holder!
The lane is there for a reason.
Yep, overtaking
@@julian_theviews5011 which he is doing. All the way to his destination
Imagine being so incompetent as a driver that you spend your time making up issues to justify your own existence. Absolutely nothing wrong with driving the middle lane at speed. Left is for fkn losers driving under the limit, middle for speed limit cruise control chads, and right for speeding pricks or overtaking losers who should have been in the left
To those who say just overtake them, they can't because another car in the 3rd lane is about to overtake. There shouldn't have to be these rules, be nice to one another and follow them
And how exactly do you know there is a car in lane 3, given that it doesn't appear? And the poster can move into lane 2 to follow the mystery overtaker if he wants to pass.
@@DM-ur8vc That is what happened last time I was in that situation in that situation and does happen... that is why the rule exists not just to be courteous to fellow road users.
@@AO-ku7zt Please tell us you don't drive based on assumptions? Drivers can only pass in lanes 2 or 3 IF it is safe to do so. In this case, passing in lane 3 is available. The pick-up isn't being discourteous as there is no one stuck behind him.
I this case it’s just a guy plodding in the middle lane on a quiet stretch of motorway. I didn’t say causing any harm, just a ‘middle lane driver’.
@@DM-ur8vc Sorry do you have a point why he is sat in the middle lane and not being a courteous driver?
These is no issue… I think you are too bored my friend and maybe need some music or a podcast to distract you a little
This guy is a moron 😂 he thinks he’s going to start a cult following him by moaning
Agreed - it's quite common to see some numpty doing 60mph in the middle lane on a busy motorway, oblivious to people going round them - but this isn't that. This is a very quiet stretch of motorway. The pick-up isn't impeding anyone. The poster is either a pedant or more likely, posting 'controversial' stuff to get arguments / clicks.
That would be great; then my videos on Autism might get more than 33views.
@@julian_theviews5011 That explains why you're struggling with this public enemy #1.
@@DM-ur8vc great stuff this guy sucks donkey shlong just loves to moan because he thinks he will be famous from it
I drive in middle lane it’s not against the law and just so you know the inside lane has ruts in it and vans can get stuck in them and can be angerous these ruts are caused by artic Lorrie’s so stop your mianing the motorway is empty and your not the best driver on the road
It is against the law. Police can give you a ticket for impeding others. Keep left. For the love of god, keep left.
@@stephenhollingsworth2530 what that driver in your video is doing is not against the law you absolute moan bag. The road was clear and he was not stopping any other driver from overtaking him the outside is clear you are pathetic for even putting a video like this up. There’s probably a slip lane coming up or just gone it’s probably you impeding merging drivers or forcing artic Lorry’s to overtake
@@stephenhollingsworth2530 Impeding people on the nearly empty motorway?...
Literally against the law, one of the first things you learn on your theory. Its honestly not hard. If the quality of the road is poor, report it, they can't fix what they don't know
If you sit in the middle lane, when lane 1 is clear, then please hand back your licence immediately.
Then go round them if you don't like it. The pick-up isn't holding up anyone. The motorway is practically empty.
then when there is a batch of traffic, it all backs up as everyone is needlessly squeezed into one lane. I've seen it cause long queues in the past. These people suck
Yeah, it's an empty motor way... Even less reason for them to be there. Also, no need to go around them as you can legally undertake them if they're doing under the speed limit.
@@Scythl Except there isn't a 'batch' of traffic.
@@stephenhollingsworth2530 'If' they're under the speed limit - which the poster doesn't mention and the video doesn't look like it. BTW - the HWC code says you can only pass on the left in congested conditions.
@@DM-ur8vc 100% guarentee you they do the same thing when there is traffic and they should pull over. What this video shows is this driver is someone who causes traffic by doing that. Literally one of the first things you learn for your theory is that the normal running lane is the left lane. They are not following the official rules of driving. Why are you even arguing this? Are you a middle lane driver? Too lazy to look over your shoulder and put your indicator on, turn the wheel a tad? Middle lane driving is incredibly dumb, forcing people to cross two lanes to overtake them legally, not to mention selfish behaviour. Its really simple and easy to drive properly... As the other commentor wrote, its a clear motorway right where they are, so absolutely no excuse to not pull in
Thanks Julian. This is such an important subject. Great to hear from others with their experiences. Please keep them coming (as well as your excellent car stuff!).
Absolutely 👍🏻
Thanks for all your Morgan videos. Still on the waiting list (2+ years now) for a new PlusFour if they ever actually arrive here. Driving my '69 four place 4/4 with an HPE motor and five speed until then. Cheers.
The latest plus four has been designed with the USA in mind. Hopefully not too long to wait now.
We just missed you guys (not a Morgan owner but follow Spencer for his amazing photography) and hit the Green Dragon as well as Tan Hill Inn. Gita make sure you guys take care on those small Dales backroads and slow down a bit. Saw a pretty bad wreck.
Thanks for the comment. Agree about his photos, and for taking care bit of course 👌🏻
I just love the soundtrack of your plus 6. TBH, I struggled to keep up with Jann, but I keep telling myself it's because she had an automatic gearbox...
You should always drive your own drive. Doesn’t matter if someone else is faster, it’s about having fun within your own limits. Anyway, you’ll be at Goodwood on circuit next year to test the limits 👍🏻😆
Super super cool roadtrip Julian across the Dales🤩👌🇬🇧 I am Spencer follower on Instagram & that was a great surprise 4 me to see that you knew each other. Can' t wait to see the part 2. I follow you since you were a Plus Four owner (and recently on Insta) and each time I am watching each time It makes me want another Morgan 😉😂
Thanks for watching. Spencer and I have been chatting for a while, so it was about time we met up. Part 2 should be fun….. there’s some sheep herding!
What did you make of the new Plus Four (green car on the right at the very front)? A new Plus Six must be on the way as well I guess.
The new Four has changes to allow export into the US market. There will be changes to the Six, yet this may be a bigger project.
@@julian_theviews5011 Plus Four for the USA has dragged on forever. I hope Morgan has sorted out the leaking radiator issue that have plagued recent Plus cars.
This is the day and age we live in, idiots running councils and government and they don't even know how to spell common sense. Well done for showing the idiots up.
Always wanted a plus 8
What are you waiting for?
Beautiful car ,the colour and quality of the paint work is stunning,the wheel choice is spot on
Thanks. The wheels get mixed reviews.
The BMW V8 sounds amazing🥰
The plus six is nice and throaty, yet those V8s are the proper soundtrack
What a wonderful car. Great colour. Happy and Safe driving! Regards from Berlin, Germany
Thanks. Take it easy too 👍🏻
Do Snetterton in September with Folk Mog, still spaces. I did last year and open pit sooooo much driving.
Thanks for that. I’ve had a look and it’s noted in the diary for review……weather dependent! 👍🏻
@@julian_theviews5011 It is later in the year this year which is a shame. The other good one is Castle Combe with Richard Thorne as often open pit lane - not sure on date. I've not managed to get on track yet this year.
What are you driving and how is it?
@@julian_theviews5011 I enjoyed it but used to watch racing there as a kid. Im driving a 2017 Plus 4. Not crazy fast but good fun for me.
@rcBitz fast enough
Man… i can feel your happiness and Joy! The car is amazing, and the color is simply stunning. Can i ask you the drive feeling? I’Ve a 911 and i’m thinking of it.
I have a 992 4s. The refinement and accomplished nature of the Porsche is head and shoulders shoulders above a Morgan. It’s not a Morgan though. There is something very special about a Morgan….and the current engine and gearbox makes it insanely fast.
Lovely video and Morgans are fabulous, just a small point if I may...Mal-vern as you say..is pronounced Moll-vern..like malt loaf..mollvern..Malvern... great footage and enjoy your new toy!! Thanks for the footage.
If only I could turn back time and amend my pronunciation. Thanks for your comments, really appreciated.
Gentlemans express.
I hadn’t thought about it like that, what a wonderful phrase. Same I’m so uncouth and don’t fit the description
beautiful car !
Certainly is 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. What are the issues with your PlusSix that need fixing?
Just some tweaks on the fitting and I have a slight leak in the hard top where the window is fitted. Normal hand built adjustments and prob just some sealant glue application needed.
Enjoy while you can the powers that be want it dead.
Every moment 👍🏻
Wow.. stunning 🫵🏼 hoping to get myself one in the next few years and you’ve just given me the goosebumps.
0% interest at the moment. Tell Dan at Malvern that I sent you
Brilliant info. You covered things nobody else covered.
Thanks. Check out my latest vid, it shows a few more bits
@@julian_theviews5011 brilliant thank you.
My town Malvern does not look like your town of Malvern. Of course mine is Arkansas, USA and the only thing we produce is meth. Love the car something else we don't have in the states but Morgans have always been one of my favorite automobiles. Thanks for sharing your car delivery with us.
I’ve been to Malvern…sort of. Stayed in HotSprings for a friend’s wedding. Missed the Meth tour though 😆
Hi Julian, all the issues you have with your car are part of the Morgan owning experience, you either get it or you don’t. In time to come, when you discuss cars with other people, I’m sure they will want to know all about your Morgan’s you once owned. For me, going back over 50 years to Peter Morgan days, The Trouble Shooter in 1990, the 10 year waiting list, friend now deceased owning Plus 8s & Sir Harvey Jones, investigation at The Morgan Motor Company Factory at Pickersleigh Road. Enjoy ever moment in your very special Plus 6 😅
This is my second Morgan. The first was a disaster and the issues were beyond ‘the Morgan experience’ when considering I parted with 85k. Expectations are higher from consumers now, so either a car is sold as an evolving thing with a lifetime of tweaks and adjustments or they are going to loose an already dying target market. Loving the Plus Six, so I’m a happy chappy.
I was sat on that very same sofa last week 😀great coffee there. Plus 4 owner here 👍
It’s a lovely place to sit. Plus 4 or Four? I’ve never driven the old platform. I’ve heard it has some ‘personality’ 😆
@@julian_theviews5011 personality is one way of describing it 😀 it’s a 4, 2014. Your six must be scary!! I had a 335i which was pretty fast, can’t imagine that power in something so light. Btw, nice looking Porsche. I also have a 993 👌
The Six is outrageously quick. It gets away quicker than my 911, albeit less smoothly. The CX platform is so much better than the last, so the handling is now much more aligned with the power.
@@julian_theviews5011 No doubt I'll be tempted to upgrade but I've only had mine a few weeks, and I actually really like that it's like stepping back in time. Malvern is a 5 hour round trip for me so it's getting serviced at Bellsport in Hertfordshire next week. Looking to join a club, might see you at a meet sometime. Enjoy your beauty.
Ah, I have an Austin Healy Sprite for full nostalgia. I must get around to joining the owners club 🙄
Lucky SOB 😍
I think that everyday 👍🏻
I have t seen that too often. Maybe a tourist who's used to the other side of the road and that's the lane he's used to.
UK plates…. I think you’re giving them too much credit 😂
See it everyday bruv, does me bloody head in ............
300miles covered today and by the end of it I was screwing.
Beautiful car and specification. I was at the factory this week with my Aero 8 having a hard top fitted. One of my favourite places to visit. The people are just as special as the cars.
Too bloody right. I’m back up to the factory for a service. I could do it locally, yet going to Malvern is something special.
