Morris Minor Owners Club

I regularly go to the spedeworth tracks and I have also seen morris minors raced. I love banger racing, stock car racing and all forms in between. The A60 amble is one of my fav meetings, I recently went to an all westy meeting and a all granada one coming up. There is no problems racing these cars,...

The blue pick-up was up for sale and very reasonably priced! If only I wasn't a student

Brought all mine from Ebay (all unseen), Never paid more than 500 quid for them. Always made money. Offsets the student loan nicely.

Vettel, alonso, hamilton, kobayashi, raikkonen, rosberg, schumacher, vergne, di resta, Kovalainen. Unusual choices: kobayashi, fights the car aggresive style to suit the minor. Vergne, great outright pace, fights the car enough to suit a minor. Kovalainen, used to having to fight a car with underst...

But yes, Button should feature in a top 10 List of Current F1 Drivers......just having a bad couple of weekends

If the top 10 F1 drivers ,say as the grid last week ,were driving a late moggie ,lets say at Silverstone Who do you think would win and why? I'd go for MSC ,Alonso and Button in that order as they are the smoothest drivers,jut what you need in a moggie. :-? Just Critical of the F1 knowledge here :P...

Here here Ray! Totally agree what price do you put on your own safety and that of your passengers. I'd rather my car failed the MOT and the problem got sorted than not know there was a problem. I look on the MOT as my car's annual safety check. Agreed. I had problems with car only recently that I d...

Hope this doesn't push up the prices of pre 1960s vehicles, or lead to restrictions on their use. Could push them down.....as I always use MOT as an indicator of Value.......I for sure will be getting mine "voluntarily" tested each year, to ensure peace of mind, and value of my car. An Ar...

Mine just sits out in all weathers all year round...I use it all the time and don't have a garage and I haven't had any problems any way, I just keep an eye out for leaks....

or a van.

I do about 6000 Miles a year, I used to use it day in and day out but then because I now go to uni, it gets used most weekends daily and the odd week day, although the gritters have trashed my paint work

Hope this helps.

Is that with the roof down though ;)

Having owned 3 Morris Minors and having both style heaters, I can say that the circular ones are brilliant! I gave the system a good flush through before the winter and I have never had any issues.

Also as another point, if the bring it in for cars prior to 1960, won't that split Morris Minors into, Motable, and Non- Motable?

When I own 4 Morris Minors, I'm happy for the price to inflate!!! Just so long as if I want to buy another one, the price goes back down!

I love driving in Ice and Snow , I love taking my Morris Out in the snow, not sure how much of a good thing this is, but its great fun, and It's never done any harm and I have never got stuck!

By the way, you lot are paying highly for testing - round here there's cut-throat competiton amongst the smaller garages and £30 to £40 is the norm. Same here, I know Classic Car Garages, they are very competitive. I just think MOT's are a good standard for all cars! this stops cars falling into a ...

Do you want to borrow my left handed screwdriver? or my long weight?

I think it is a Bad idea, more chance for cars to fall into a state of disrepair, a HUGE disaster for classic car specialists. Every car on the road should have an MOT. They system should stay the same, for all its flaws, its better than the alternative

I don't use the exact make but i change to winter tyres from october, not only for ice and snow but they function better at the lower temperatures we get in winter, I always feel they are a good investment. In the snow last year i used snow tyres and chains and never really had an issue, it seemed t...
