It was definately Smoke Grey, rather than Clipper Blue. Pretty sure about the short reg but it was a glimpse over 6 lanes of traffic! No point in waving, I was in the wifes Citroen. Always the case when you see another Minor!
cheers

Noticed a TPO Red Morris 1000 van today its in the Bury transport museum. Which is on the East Lancashire Railway.

Sadly i get didnt get its reg but its taxed for this year and has a MMOC badge on the windscreen.

Anyone on here own it.

Now repeat after me.
Morris minors are the way forward.
Don't ever be told that your life wont be taken other by owning a classic car.
You can never own to many vintage cars.

Now that wasn't hard was it.

Green convertable on top gear- when the Ferrari and the Porshe are being pushed into the mechanics it is on the right.

Haven't had time to post before, but I spotted a Rose Taupe saloon heading towards Chester on the road past Wrexham at about 2.10 on Saturday (I was going to the Racecourse Ground to watch Wrexham v Rushden & Diamonds with my son); then on Sunday I spotted a green Traveller which had just gone over the Cleddau Bridge from Neyland to Pembroke Dock... which might have been from Pembroke Ferry, thinking about it...

There are 2 cream moggys up the road from me, they look lovely, I have never seen either of them being driven, but have been past the house that has them parked on the drive with both or just one parked there.

But like I say, I have never seen either of them being driven about! Bizarre!
