I have unbridled hate for anything superdry. There isnt anything more generic as far as clothing is concerned.
That morgan looks alright though, at least every teenager this side of surrey wont go out and buy one.

Superdry, Nike for the discerning chav Feel free to put this personal observation down to my unwillingness to spend excess monies on clothing. As a rule I don't do brands, though I don't pass up hand me downs. Back on point. As said on page 1, I do like the tricycle and think the paint works well even if it's not what I'd choose myownself.

I have constant dreams about buying a three wheeler in black with a red perforated leather interior. Then donning a pair of goggles and driving everywhere in it.

Really like that, such a nice understated design.
As for Superdry, I love it; well designed, high quality, retro-inspired designs. Okay, it's pricey, I can only afford it when it's on sale, but that's the cheap student in me. Chavvy? I've hardly seen any chavs wearing it, their main market as far as I've seen are students and young professionals...
The site is interesting, as said above I'm surprised how 'modern' it looks!

Taking the whole 'Superdry is Chav' argument out of the equation (I have no view on this side of things and it's not relevant anyway) - the style in which they have produced the car is lovely. The lettering/font choice is superb and 100% in keeping with the look, ethos and 'period' of the car. I've just looked up Superdry (being a fashion f**kwit, I didn't know about them!) and the font used on the Morgan is a long, long way from their actual logo, which is something most manufacturers would have just slapped on. In vinyl. They've taken a far more sympathetic approach to marketing their name on the car and it works in my eyes. I've also taken a look at the Morgan 'bespoke builder' page and most of the logos they offer are far more 'chav' and out of kilter with the car than the Superdry design so I say fair play to them for beating Morgan at their own game. However, if I was to have one, it would have to look like this (probably without the Union Jack, but I'd clicked 'print screen' and saved it before removing the flag ) It's a good job I can't afford one. I don't know how much they are, but I know I can't afford one, so the price is a moot point. ;D Cracking car whichever way you look at it. I wish more manufacturers would use this kind of approach to branding - it beats looking at billboards I can tell you

If I had the money i'd do a hi-tech version with modern motorbike wheels and all the suspension arms milled out of billet.

I don't know how much they are About £30k, including taxes. Which is a lot for a toy, but not much for something brand new that'll hit 60mph in 4.5s ;D Spec-wise, FYI, it has a 2.0-litre twin-cylinder S&S engine driving the rear wheel via an MX-5 gearbox. Anyone want to see one going up the hill at Goodwood? Okey dokey...

Being someone who is clearly not down with the kids (or perhaps just has no interest in glossy magazines/fashion/shopping centres/whatever) I knew nothing of this Superdry brand. Ditto - when I had seen pics of it prior to this thread, I just assumed it was an in-joke about the extensive and highly effective weather protection...!!

I'd like to see one with hotrod style flames on black, White bands and red interior.
I've even been trying to work out if it would be possible to move the rear bulkhead out to extend the cabin so I'd kinda fit.
I've always fancied a scorpion kit car, the 3 wheel one with a bike motor.

I didn't know what super-dry was either. You should come to my college for 10 minutes, You'll have superdry logo's in your eyes. Its not chavvy, its just a lot of overpriced generic rip off retro. And now they seem determined on putting it on british cars as well >_<

The branding isn't offensively in-your-face, if you didn't know the Superdry brand it could be just about anything really. (I quite like Superdry. Bit too pricey for me, and I love the irony of seeing people out in the curse word rain in their soaking wet Superdry jacket ;D But at least they're not Bench: )

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.
