You can join the MMOC and get the magazine and all the benefits as a European Member. Don't delay - you know it makes sense, and at £21, how can you resist? :lol:
Happy Minoring!

Hey this is my first post - and I'm a young member of the MMOC! (At twenty-nine, I believe I'm still a teensy bit younger than the average owner, maybe?) My form of transport is 'Ector - ECT 105D - a gorgeous green Traveller, and I also have an adult tricycle as I never learned to ride a bike - now THAT's unusual, apparently - and I've been known to wander around with a furry costume on for fun occasionally, so I'm known for being a tad eccentric!
Waffle over, carry on. :D

That applies to the under 21`s and there are a few on here.
so I'm known for being a tad eccentric!
Thats not a requirement of owning a Moggie, but is not a disadvantage either :lol:

Relfy...thanks you!!! SO there is a Cornish branch! I went to a Devon branch meeting but it's a bit far away really.
Furrtiv, there's a few of us young 'uns on here. It suprised me when first came on to find how young some owners were.

Sorry Dizzi, i forgot to follow this thread... Yes there is one - so I hear! I havn't actually got myself into gear to follow it up yet. But as far as I know they meet in Camborne or Redruth. I'll try and find the bit of paper with that lady's no. who i know goes to it, or ask John ... and send you a pm.


Hello Furrtiv :-D, I would say 29 is positively old. Even Kevin's younger than that.

(Just kidding. I'm 25 by the way, and I reckon there are quite a few of us on here, though I'm new too).

As I have had Moggis since I was 17 it didn't surprise me so much, but what did surprise me was that there are some of the 'more senior' members using the website a lot.

And why does that surprise you so much? Some of us have grasped the basics of this new technology despite being at school before pocket calculators were invented, before the days of colour TV... Eeee, back then, Morris Minors weren't classic cars, the most you'd pay for one was £85 (honest!) etc etc , rambles on nostalgically... Indeed, some of us have even worked in the online departments of certain British publicly funded broadcasting organisations. Just out of interest, do any grown ups (over the age of 29!) use the message board? :)

probably about half the users.
I kind of qualify as I'm well over the age of 29, although not sure about the 'grown up' comment.

I was only teasing - and feeling old! No offence meant - certainly agree on the "don't know about grown up" front...

It would be interesting to know what the age spread of the users on here is. Maybe we should start a thread with an age range poll?

I am over 29 too (by 1 year and 15 minutes!!). :lol:

Happy (belated) birthday Cam! :wink:

I remember being quite depressed at reaching 30 - and that was nearly a decade ago.... :-?
