Re: Spotted today.
Today I had to drive from Hinckley to Shrewsbury on the A5. During this pleasant journey I saw;
firstly, on the way out of Hinkley on the A5, I spotted a garden full of Minors. I think I counted 4 but there could be more.
Second, A5 between Cannock and Telford, nice green saloon heading towards Cannock.
Lastly, A5 in Wellington, a lovely grey saloon.
Usually don't see any then a load on one trip....

Re: Spotted today.
Coming home down the M1 today a joined a convoy with a Mk1 e-type, MGB roaster and Triumph TR6.
I also spotted a Maroon minor saloon with a boot rack in the petrol station at the M1(S) leicester services.

Re: Spotted today.
On Saturday morning, saw a brown soft-top with a cream hood pootling round the M25 not far from the M1 turn-off. Didn't get the reg, and Mrs Ondergard wouldn't let me slow enough to allow the Mog to catch up.... anyone on here claim it?

Re: Spotted today.
For the past couple of weeks (at least) there's been a rose taupe saloon parked outside the MOT bay of a garage on the A470 between Llandinam and Llanidloes. Not sure if it's for sale.
Rumoured rather than spotted: a builder I met yesterday said one of his customers is a lady in her nineties who still drives a split screen traveller.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Re: Spotted today.
Yesterday I was caught in a queue on A35 nr Axminster - sadly caused by a broken down OEW convertible as I passed they were attaching a rope to pull it clear - I couldn't stop as would have caused a far worse queue

Re: Spotted today.
Passed a yellow traveller in Stafford the other week, and then saw it again near Pottle Pool island on Cannock Chase last week. Unusual as everything was painted yellow, including the wood. (Well not everything, the windows were clear and the rubber black, but you know what I mean)

Re: Spotted today.
Saw a dark blue pick up a couple of days ago in near Fort William. I've not seen many minors this far north except at rallies although there is a traveller around Elgin and another one on the Black Isle (Fortrose I think it was)

Re: Spotted today.
spotted this one in sidmouth on hols last week. travelled from ross on wye to dorset, for five days, and asked my partner to guess how many mogs we would see in that time. i guessed 15, she guessed 10. total? Three.[frame][/frame]
Re: Spotted today.
I was all over somerset since friday lunch time, didn't see ONE other mog! Did the drive down to Taunton, then around the surrounding area, then back up home via Glastonbury on saturday. Millions of beetles and a triumph stag. Rose behaved the best she ever has - though we did have a little starter motor trouble as soon as I got home. Refused to start, clicked. So I asked dad, he told me just to put it in 2nd with the handbrake off and push it backwards a bit until it clicked. Was absoloutely fine then!

Re: Spotted today.
Saw another blue pickup in Wendover today - waved lots - what's the chances..? I think it was an Austin as the grille was different.

Re: Spotted today.
Spotted yesterday Sunday 10-7-10, on the west bound carriageway of the A64 about 6 miles from York, a traveller being towed (A Frame system) , it may have been OEW or a real dirty SW ,couldn't get a pic I was driving into York 0603 on the eastbound carriageway. I cannot remember the tow car but it looked like a larger of the MPV types.
All help and advice offered, is all good help received- thanks.

Re: Spotted today.
having spotted only three in five days driving from ross to dorset, and touring around all week, then back again (ps didn't use much motorway, where you'd expect not to see many) i was wondering which areas are densly populated moggie wise. Or not. I am in Ross on Wye, fairly small town, and i know of four (including mine) running around regularly. On the other hand, in the nearest other town to me - Monmouth - can't recall ever having seen another one.

Re: Spotted today.
Out and about in sunny Southsea on sunday, saw a white G-plate saloon on the seafront and a bright yellow saloon following; on the way we spotted a blue convertible in a Sainsburys somewhere near Esher.
