Re: Vale: Roy Allingham (BMCecosse)
This is very sad news.
I always enjoyed his posts and good humour. A sad loss from this community.
I always think of him when I see a Minor with Peaks, I shall even more so from now on.
My thoughts are with Roy's family at this difficult time.

Good to see a few Moggys out today at a Vintage Fair hosted by Treetops Hospice in Risley, Derbyshire.
And Good to meet you at last Steve Clem!

Re: Classic car snobbery
My plan with those stickers is to get one ... when I have a second Morris. It appeals to my strange (and awful) sense of humour
Though I think we may be some years off that dream yet!

Re: Classic car snobbery
A nice addition to my feelings and comments on this: Today my partner Kev drove the Charity car on the East Midlands leg of the marathon from Derby to Leicester. We pulled in to the side of the road at one point and a gorgeous 20s/30s Rolls Royce Tourer passed by honking his horn very enthusiastical...

Re: Classic car snobbery
I always take it quite personally when people don't wave back (as sad and pathetic as that sounds). I enjoy the fleeting moment of smiling and acknowledgement. I just judge it as polite respect. I had one yesterday who wouldn't wave back, and that wasn't a posher car, think it's just down to each dr...

Glorious! The mystery is solved! Thanks so much everyone :D Pretty little car, and in fantastic condition. I only wish he'd parked up with the others so I could have a real look. Had a look about at them on the net, beautiful little things. Rather like the 'Weekend' opentop model. There's a decent o...

Studebaker Mystery
So today we returned from a holiday in the South of France (and obviously solving this mystery is my no. 1 priority on my return :) ). Yesterday on a stroll around the Village I was giddy to see a procession of Classics on a run out. I grabbed my camera and took a few rushed shots. All the cars park...

Re: National Rally 2016 - What a weekend!
I didn't spot you at all over the weekend?!
But thanks a million for providing a set of wheel studs for my Minor this morning after we discovered the replacement ones we'd got off the internet were the wrong size (despite research). Didn't fancy a 140mile trip tomorrow on just 3. Life savers!

Re: Catton hall rally field
I've never been to a Rally at Catton Hall, but I have been to Bloodstock (a Heavy Metal Festival) there 5 times, and for the last 3 years I've worked the festival. The site is huge so I'm not entirely where on the Park we will be in relation to the festivals layout, but the ground is usually very fi...

Re: Autokarna Wollaton Park, Notts
Some photos from the Autokarna. I threw a picnic for the Branch plus some friends - which I was massively nervous and stressed about - Ive never made food to feed 30 people before. But it was a great success! :) [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1465409189_27378 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc....
