Morris Minor Owners Club

In the United States, we call them beauty rings, or at least my dad and several mechanics in the area do. I don't suppose there's a standard name even in Missouri , much less my entire country or the Western Hemisphere. In my wreck, one ring popped off into the grass and was unharmed, and two were o...

Here in America there are many more people who have never heard of Morris -- or MG -- or even know the Britain has an auto industry outside of Land Rover, than have. The upside to this is I get to explain over and over again about my Moggie. My grandfather, a 90-year old grizzly veteran of the Secon...

lol, happy to see you'd caught Mog's main entry, PSL. I agree with the notion that 3-pointers are better than lap belts -- but I'd also argue that, since I walked away from my wreck with only a small bruise on my left knee, lap belts are worthwhile, if you have nothing better to fit.

Considering how people drive now, at least in the...

Greetings to one and all! I'm a long-time reader, but a first-time member -- I didn't realize you could be a member of the forum without being a member of MMOC. (Not that I don't want to be.) I've been wondering for a while about the safety of my '59 Morris Minor 1000. Being middle-American, it's be...
