Doing the Board-Walk

The 13th seems to have been unlucky for these two chaps.

The first is Charles Morgan of the Morgan Car Company. The second is Henrik Fisker, late of the Fisker Car Company. Not to be confused with Fusker:

James May's late cat.

Both these men have stood down as boss of the company that bears their name. Morgan's story is in Autocar here while Fisker's is in Autoguide here.

Both stories cite differences between the boss and the Board but while Fisker is leaving altogether, Morgan will be staying on. Nick Baker, sales manager at the Morgan Motor Company, said, "Charles will remain the figurehead of Morgan. His role is now to focus on opening doors and creating the market." Market Creator sounds a better job title than Doorman and although he is described as "the figurehead of Morgan", Autocar have called him "The face of Morgan".

They seem to be implying he is cross-eyed:

(Which he isn't)

I Saw a Morgan Towing a Caravan Yesterday

I don't know why that should be strange but it was. It prompted me to take a look at their website where it states that Morgan engines go up to 3 litres - more than enough to cope with a caravan - even in such a light-weight car. And this car yesterday was one of the typical old-fashioned looking Morgans - not a cross-eyed Aeromax. I then decided to find some Morgan Images to add to this. First I found a rather nice, sexy picture of Morgan Fairchild - then a not-so-sexy one of Piers Morgan - yuk! then finally a proper Morgan.My view of Morgan drivers tends to revolve around my old English teacher or Richard Hammond or members of CAMRA - not members of the Caravan Club though.

I suspect that your average Morgan driver would be annoyed at being stuck behind a caravan and certainly wouldn't expect to have one stuck behind him.
