How do you view the message board?
Hello,

I just posted a message to the message board, is there somewhere it can be
viewed? If you didn't get it, I was wondering if you can give me an idea as
to how hard the Morgan is being pushed?

Thanks,

David

Hi There,

Can you give us an idea of approximately how hard the Aero 8 is being pushed in per centage terms? Keep up the good work!

I'm still out here...
I am absolutely floored that the Morgan has stood up so resilently at Le Mans. Congratulations, keep up the good work, Morgans are awesome.

Dan
Yes, we're here
Lots of us watching and talking on the eMOG online discussion board.

Here's an idea. Could someone write "HI EMOG" on a sign and hold it up to the webcam? That would be a great way to bond with the hundreds of Morgan owners who are members of the eMOG online Morgan group.

Amazed? Not!
Recently heard the commentators expressing amazement that you were still out there running. They thought you were out of it at the stop to replace the prop shaft. We are not amazed! Go Morgan!!!

Hermen Pol
Steady on!
Gents,

You have impressed me with your performance so far! Keep on going and make sure to reach the chequered flag. That in itself would be a very great achievement and should give you a lot of recognition.

Cheers,

POOR JOURNALISM
I finally got to see a brief picture of the Morgan and I could NOT believe what the announcers said about it...."I can't believe that Morgan is still in the race, they must just think they are a racecar or something, that monster is still hanging in there, it amazes me!!"
I know it won't do any good but I logged onto their web site and asked them if they had to practice at being idiots or did it come natural to them, I also demanded they issue an apology to you by saying, "if it wasn't for all the hard work and committment of people like the crew on the Morgan Team, you idiots could not even get a job.....just as I said that, another MG bit the dust and the Morgan kept rolling....I'm pulling for you guys.....give em hell.

Keep up the pace!
Great work guys. I got up early on Fathersday to see how you are doing. Super that you are still running. Unfortunately, our Dutch car is not, but I am a Morgan fan. Also a good idea to have a billboard and a webcam.

Would I be right in thinking that the Aero 8 is 5th in it's class?

Dan Ehrmann
Caught up in it
I can't believe how much I've been caught up in the race and DeWalt Morgan reports. It's well past midnight in Chicago and I'm glued to the computer waiting for the webcam to refresh and waiting for announcements. In the other screen is the official Live Results screen which also refreshes every 30 secs. or so.

I don't want to sleep! Go Morgan!

I WANT TO SEE THE MORGAN ON TV!!!!
I have been watching all night and this morning, and not once did I see them show the Morgan...it makes me so damn mad.....not everyone can be winners.....tell someone to give em hell and put the Morgan on for a few shots......I just want you to know how much I truly admire your efforts....smashing.!!!!

Keep It Up
Watching the webcam and reports with great interest. Is it the winning or the taking part (and finishing)that is important? Keep up the great job you're doing. Best wishes to you all at Pit 42.

Good morning Pit 42 Crew,

Great Job. There are no more Ferraris on the track and the Morgan is
still running.

After this good performance during the night and your quick axle change
I am sure you will see the finish line.

Good luck to the drivers and the pit crew for the rest of the race. (
there are only a couple of hours to go ;-) )

Regards
Peter Yves

Info on car?
What BMW V8 block are you using? Is it a M-block from the 540i/740i, or is it a S-Block from the Z8/M5.

DeWalt's delights
I haven't had so much fun in front of a PC. Watching you guys on the webcam AND being able to send a message, has made it like being there (well almost). You are doing a great job thank you.
Only 8 hours to go!

Time to turn up the wick guys. Looks like the car can take it. You're doing a fantastic job---lets clean the decks and send them back to Ingolstadt with mortification. Best Wishes, Gerald.

Guaranteed Tough
You really changed the transaxle in 13 minutes?! We're allso proud. You win the title that the car carries 'Guaranteed Tough' What a fantastic crew you all are. I feel so confident in your abilities that I'm going to sleep now. I know Aero 8 is in competent hands. But if I wake up I'll rush to the PC and check on you, so, no breakdowns! BTW I didn't realize the track was so long! Not to be disloyal but I checked other sites and found maps.....Makes our tracks here in the Colonies look feeble.

"Guaranteed Tough"
Wow! What a heart stopper that was! BTW I know a guy
who has a very nice transaxle for sale in
France....???? Know anybody who'd be interested?
I'm so impressed with the frantic action I saw in the
pit there that I'm going out to buy my husband a very
big De Walt something or other for Father's Day.
Y'all are really living up to the logo on the Aero
8...you are Guaranteed Tough!
Can't make it to Pit 42, but I've seen you on camera
and know you're having more fun than is legal.
We're all watching! Kathi

You're all doing a fab job, the web site is just fantastic in keeping me informed but I'm getting about 10 txt messages an hour on my mobile from people over there, so there is no chance I can miss anything.

Fantastic Car
Hey Morgan,
Fantastic effort by all of you. I am a College student in Florida and find
your car to be absolutely awesome. It is very exciting for me to see such a
radical car out on La Sarthe. OH and that wing is awesome, no matter what
they say on Speed Channel. Hope to see you later on this year possibly at
the Petit LeMans in Atlanta GA. Any plans for ALMS??

To Charles, Matthew, and Christopher:

You're wowing them here in California. Phil Hill just mentioned to my friend
Tom Muller that he thought Morgans represented the true spirit of the
sportscar more than any other Marque!

Keep up the great effort!

Good show gentlemen! Keep up the splendid work. You have the most loyal
fans of all the marques. What we don't have in numbers we certainly make up
for in enthusiasm. May the Moggie Force be with you!

Dennis Glavis, MorganWest
