FolkMog – Morgan Sports Car Club
FolkMog – the Eastern Counties area for the Morgan Sports Car Club
The ‘Morgan Sports Car Club’ supports around 40 ‘area centres’ worldwide , the ‘Eastern Counties Centre’ being one of these. The centre is known as ‘FolkMog’, although that has not always been the case.
The Morgan Sports Car Club was formed in 1951 as the ‘4/4 Club’. The focus was on racing, rallying and treasure hunts, and the social side did not start to properly develop until the 1960’s. The London Centre was formed around 1965, followed by the Northern Centre in 1968, with the East Anglian Centre (now AngleMog) appearing on the scene in about 1969, being listed as a centre in ‘Miscellany’ in 1970. It was in 1970 that members voted for the club name to change to the ‘Morgan Sports Car Club’
Invited by Anglemog to join them for a picnic lunch at Ickworth a National Trust property in Horringer, near Bury St Edmunds on the 24th July 2011. Parking in front of the Rotunda, backing onto the Terrace wall and facing the Rotunda.
Why Are We In Love With Sports Cars?
Article by Gregg Hall
Why do so many of us find sports cars irresistible? Few objects inspire the emotional attachment that sports cars do among auto enthusiasts. There are always dedicated fans of almost every technology, but sports car fans band together in clubs, spend a significant percentage of their free time preoccupied with their car, and may even begin to create a self-definition that seems to be centered upon their favorite auto.
There is something about sports cars that makes them uniquely attractive to many drivers.
Of course, it would be impossible to isolate exactly what it is about a well-designed sports car that engenders such attachment, but there are some factors that would logically contribute to the commonly seen love affair between men and their sports cars.
Initially, it seems as if much of the attraction is grounded in symbolism. Sports cars have long been portrayed as sources of freedom. Drivers are left unencumbered by the limitations of other automobiles are seen as having a uniquely free and flexible life on the open road. This notion of freedom is intensified when one considers convertible sports car offerings. In such circumstances the driver is not boxed in like others. He can tackle any road while being completely open to the elements.
Additionally, the allure of sports cars lies in their innovative technology. We live in a world that worships at the altar of technological advances. The sports car is a moving amalgamation of technical expertise. Sports cars are a bundling of technological miracles. From aerodynamic styling to compact yet powerful engines, they represent the cutting edge of technological design. In a society entranced by technology and innovation, the sports car has an iconic appeal that is difficult to equal.
Sports cars also represent the flipside to our technological obsession. Although we, as a society, crave more and better tech we also fear these developments will diminish our humanity. Some have even argued we have an underlying fear of losing control over our own advances. The sports car simultaneously represents our technological prowess while reassuring us we retain dominion over our creation. Sports cars are built to respond the driver. In fact, they are sold as being the most responsive cars available. The driver is left in ultimate control. Man creates the new technology and harnesses it. It is the perfect version of our technological dream in action.
Finally, the sports car appeals to man’s desire to reassert his strength in a world that no longer requires physical prowess. Humanity has grown softer and the need for violent power to function successfully has been reduced to near zero. The sports car provides an alternative means of expressing whatever hard-wired tendencies toward strength and prowess that may be lurking in the deep recesses of the human mind. The sports car is an embodiment, after all, of the human physical traits once needed for survival in leaner times. Speed and power are combined and become a proxy body for the driver placed behind the wheel.
The sports car, it would seem, is a perfect object of affection. It allows us to explore our concept of freedom. It shows us our continual technological advancement while simultaneously reassuring us that we can keep our new technologies under our control. Meanwhile, the sports car acts a proxy body for us to express a seemingly instinctive need for demonstrating physical prowess.

For that price its going to be used and probably have quite a few miles on it. Depending on how well it was taken care of there should be plenty of life left but it will probably need some little repairs. If it spent a lot of time at the track or wasn’t cared for then it will need a lot more work.

A love affair with hot chicks, fast cars, and insane crashes
Article by Mark English
Motorsport Mad has it all figured out. People love to watch fast cars from the very first automobile to the muscle cars of the 70′s to modern screamers and sports cars. People also like to drive fast cars and enjoy making them go faster than other fast cars. Ever since it was discovered that if you put an engine and a wheel together you would go faster, the human race has fallen in love.
It didn’t take long to figure out that there was nothing on the face of the planet that is hotter than a beautiful, scantily clad woman sitting next to raw horsepower on wheels. It doesn’t matter how many wheels it has or how big it is, if you can feel the power and watch it fly, you’re hooked. The hot babe makes your imagination go into overtime.
Whether it has two, four, six, eight, ten or eighteen wheels people have always found a way to make it faster and give it more power. After all, that’s what it’s about, isn’t it? You take a little Honda and you bore it out and drop the head, put in a performance cam and a smooth clutch, a couple bottles of NOS and listen to it scream. Or you bulk up a ’67 GTO, ream out the engine, throw in some heavy pistons, with a high flow four-barrel carburetor and a scoop on the hood. You feel the thunder of an oncoming stampede as the horses gather up under you. You step on the gas and the car starts to buckle.
You are off the starting line in full control of a roaring, thundering onslaught of every possible emotion from joy to hatred–sometimes all at the same time. You’re gone, a quarter mile in ten seconds flat with the power to run. Maybe you’re into serious horsepower? Do you prefer the rumble of two straight 8 diesels with 18 precision honed gears, dual chrome stacks, six 30″ wheels and a large chrome grill going nose to nose?

Fast Cars question by The Account With No Name: Do you think auto companies should stop manufacturing fast cars?
Sure it is fun to have your eyeballs sink into the back of you head from the force of going 185mph.
Fast cars create too many inconveniences, people die and billions of dollars are spent each year to supervise the behavior of motorists because people are careless and they just don’t care…and, for some strange reason, people debate with their family what they should have for dinner that night over the cell phone as they are doing 70mph on the expressway.

No. I would actually want to go fast if I were on an interstate and had an Eighteen-Wheeler bearing down on me.
