Re: Quality tools

My better half, knowing no better, bought me home some spanners that she'd spotted 'on offer' somewhere and just picked up without thinking. They are Rolson branded, and honestly, I think if they were made of chocolate they'd actually be better than they are being made from whatever it is in there n...

Re: Morris Minor 4x4, well almost.

There's a UK version of this too, again based on a Vitara from memory. Perhaps the Vitara just happens to have similar sort of proportions?

Re: Board

Time to bang the same old drum again I guess! Criticism of the time things take to happen are entirely justified, and I know you've heard it all before. However a new board HAS been created and is sitting waiting to be used, but it would be a pointless exercise to replace something not great with so...

Re: Server Errors?

Our partner has emailed me yesterday and suggested they are changing the routine resets of our board with a view to resolving these latest difficulties and requested that we give them time to see if that makes a difference. As my previous posts on this subject may have intimated, I have very limited...

Re: Server Errors?

Yep, Looking at posts, I'm guessing it went down between 08:03 when Murrayminor managed to post something and when I first tried at about 9:15, literally come back in the 10 minutes or so. Isn't it time we had some comment from Mike or anyone in the know, because this is getting ridiculous. If the ...

Re: The Very Last Minor Saloon - 50 years old today!

The tiebars had a plating on them originally, so did appear silver. For a short while anyway! If we want to nitpick, the statement that the car has returned "into the building where it was made" is not correct. "T Building" at the BMW MINI Plant was part of Pressed Steel and not...

Re: Last Minor Ever......really ?? (Manchester)

An update on this thread, the best part of five years since it was started. The car was indeed verified as the very last Minor off the production line and in the past few days - on the 50th anniversary from the day it was built - the restored car visited its birthplace having been restored by the cl...

Re: The Very Last Minor Saloon - 50 years old today!

Had to install some anti blur software to read the words, interesting story. I figured that copying the words verbatim from CCW which is only out today would probably ruffle some feathers so I blurred it out! Okay, here's the 'official' press release, which is ours so no issues reprinting it :D Las...

The Very Last Minor Saloon - 50 years old today!

It's been hard to keep this a secret recently but finally the wraps are off and you can all see the transformation of the last Minor saloon - yes, the one that resembled a pile of scrap parked outside the Derby office - into the stunning example it is now. Today's CCW has a teaser story, article to ...

Oi, I'm only two years older than that!

I've read this thread for the first time today, and then read it again end to end, and finally a third go. It is inappropriate to give my personal opinion rather than the official one, but suffice it to say that I have found no reason to offer so much as a modest rebuke to any poster let alone remov...

As did I. And now I've got one for yours, too! I think we should treat that feature as 'experimental', as the last two times it's fallen over it has somehow resolved itself without any input from me before I had a chance to look at it!
