Sincere apologies - the forum should have been open for ANY visitor to see. I believe I have corrected that now, could you please check again?

In the light of the rapid and evolving outbreak of the Covid-19/Corona virus in the UK and across Europe, the Directors of the MMOC want to clarify and confirm the position of the club in relation to a number of planned activities scheduled for the spring and early summer of 2020 to ensure we all fo...

On Sunday March 15, DFDS released a statement permitting free rebooking with no amendment fees of booked crossings taking place up to 30th April, and I've copied it below for information. Obviously that doesn't currently cover MOT crossings as the cutoff date is before any of us were due to travel, ...

I understand it's in hand

==================== In light of the growing media coverage of this issue, the MMOC would like to confirm that it is our intention that the MMOC stand at the NEC Practical Classics Restoration Show will go ahead as normal at the end of March. We appreciate that there may be concerns due to the high ...

For a few years now, I have been convinced that there must be an increasing number of people who wake up in the morning and think to themselves ''now what can I be offended or upset about today?.....Mmmm? I don't know yet, but I'll think of something'' . Please tell me I'm not the only one. Oh no b...

A few years ago I was in my Traveller on the hard shoulder coming out of a motorway tunnel in the Italian Alps, pulled up behind another Minor because they didn't have hazard lights and I did. Hard shoulder not even as wide as a Minor, cars coming out of the long dark tunnel into harsh sunlight at 1...

It's relatively standard as these things go, and there's no cloak and dagger - the revision is designed to clarify the reason for the cookie we leave on your PC and to ensure GDPR is properly complied with. I'm going to lock the thread now as its supposed to be a notification rather than a conversat...

Along with lots of my Minor owning friends, I've noticed the increasing number of incidents on our new 'smart' motorways, and tragically many have lost their lives in these incidents. I believe they are a mistake and should be withdrawn immediately as too dangerous for ALL users, but especially for ...

The change has been in place for a couple of years and had to be made to ensure DVLA was compliant with the latest data protection legislation. It is shame in many ways that you cannot contact previous owners any more but at least we known they are keeping our personal data safe. DVLA are quite hap...

Far from paying any attention to the increasing voice against 'smart' motorways, or reading the petitions calling for them to be returned to conventional motorway, the Highways Agency are actually looking to increase them https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/m4-m5-smart-motorways-traffic-...

I've sent you a message

To go full circle and return to the original post about 'smart' (cobblers) motorways, even our MP's are now admitting the All Lane Running motorways are monstrously dangerous and should be rolled back to their previous state immediately https://bbc.in/3avUGOm (and just a quick clarification, since o...

‘Sacoolas shouldnt have been allowed to leave’ The law doesn’t work like that. It operates in terms of general principles, not individuals.

To be honest, you could have stopped your sentence four words after the quote...

Should all people involved in road accidents or possible offences be prevented from leaving the country? ... is a strawman argument - I did not suggest that all involved in road accidents shouldn't be able to leave, I suggested that Sacoolas shouldn't have been allowed to. I would also suggest that...
