Morris Minor Owners Club

I really miss Spitting Image. It always revealed the absurdity of politics & politicians better than the serious commentators.

I'm in a similar position my minor requires some bodywork and having welded a few bits of steel together in the past and managed to make a wood burner I thought I would try it myself. I think the main thing with welding at home is to obtain a good deal on argon. I'm still looking for a decent suppl...

If roll-over hoops are still available, they could offer a better mounting point for the upper mounting of a an inertia reel seatbelt

Does it have to be British? What about Volvo 244 or Merc W123?

This yellow one looks very interesting, Peugeot alloys so Ford PCD. For sale too. Anyone know any more about it?

At least you’re optimistic about the planet surviving, when you mention a fifty year projection ! Well it is biologically possible that I could still be around in 50 years and my hope is that I can live out my days before things go too far down the pan :wink: . Ultimately I suspect Mother Nature wi...

A smart German friend of mine involved in German politics & looking from outside saw a different angle to this and asked the question, "So what happens after you stay or leave?" "What do you mean?" "Well whether you stay or leave approximately half of the country will feel angry & disenfranchised fo...

Well with fibreglass you can always thicken them up with more fibreglass on the inside. Many years' ago I bought fibreglass wings and the fronts were really really thin so did just that. Before fitting them I was talking to someone who made fibreglass AC Cobra replicas and he advised using something...

So two points already raised: If it's a keeper have whatever colour you want. If you have an eye on selling one day, another colour might help the sale. Another point, if you are painting because it needs a respray, painting the same colour can be cheaper because you might not have to paint the insi...

Thanks Simmitic.

Does anyone know if there is food onsite Friday night or Saturday morning?

Just to add another parameter to consider, the centre bore. That's the diameter hole in the middle of the wheel through which the front hub sticks. Obviously if the centre bore is too small it won't fit on but if it's too big the wheel won't be held properly and the wheel studs will be taking all of...

As long as it's not the interior stuff. The interior stuff opens up the grain of the wood giving a great effect but the opposite of waterproof.

I love it when armchair experts comment on stories without reading up on it first. That's why the Daily Mail has so many readers, they're all incapable of making their own minds up.

Says someone who cites the BBC as a source of truth - guffaw

I think the original Mini wheel is smaller but looks very similar to the Minor one.

Usually one or two on Ebay

There are quite a few trackers on Ebay. As they are sim based, some of them can take instructions via sms to, for example, switch a circuit on or off. The minimum they need to get running is just continuous live and earth. You can add in alarm sirens and cut into other circuits. Personally I've foun...

Even young Minor owners get old:) Cost of entry to Minor ownership has become higher, particularly to young drivers. Insurance is astronomical these days. Nobody fixes anything because a)Things are too small. Hands up who dismantled an old rotary dial phone and played with all the bits? Now hands up...

I've been looking at Charles Ware and have had preliminary discussions with them around my requirements (disc brakes, 1098 or 1275cc, electronic ignition, inertia reel seatbelts, electric water skooshers...that kind of thing). They have said they can provide a fully structurally restored, wax injec...

Wonder if it's the same guy who did the Ronaldo statue
