Morris Minor Owners Club

Driver's nowadays are cacooned in their modern vehicles, whether it be floods, snow,ice the coming of the Antichrist, all they know to either slow down or stop is to use the brake pedal. Having the cab dr window open, using the gears, handbrake & occationally the throttle where appropriate...but go...

Anyone on here been to the One Stop convenience store at 18 Warsash Road, Southampton SO31 9HX?? See the image to this report: https://www.shponline.co.uk/convenience-store-fined-250k-pothole/?cid=%3FCID%3Dema-Newsletter_SHP%20Plus%20Weekly-15th%20December%202017-In%20Court- Rather surprisingly, the...

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of buying a set of these in the near future.

There is a problem with their on-line shop but only for the part number EA2B, something to do with the Paypal settings.
I've just had to order over the phone instead.

winter tyres? ive never heard such nonsense. they are a sales pitch by the tyre people. if you cant drive properly in the snow/sleet/rain/monsoon with a set of standard tyres on your front wheel/rear wheel drive car, get the bus. never owned any "winter tyres" nor will I need to buy any. I have fro...

On the DVLA Plate Checker it's on a SORN and it's BLUE!!
Surprised the Plod never pulled it for the registration documents being wrong...

OMG That's a fire waiting to happen :o Why on earth would anyone leave those old cables there? They have clearly shorted out in the past, hence the severely melted appearance. Di I couldn't make out where the other ends went to; are they down by the Alternator somewhere? Buried in that taped up cabl...

That's why it should go down the sewer to the treatment plant and not into the rain water run-off. :wink: Yes in theory, but most of our older urban areas still have combined drainage systems which take both foul and surface water to the treatment plant. Although the solids and bacterial matter are...

And we wonder why fly-tipping is on the increase!! :evil: Lets not forget that (Unitary Authority, City Councils etc aside) for most of the UK the Recycling Centres are a County Council Responsibility while removing Fly Tipping is a District/Borough Council responsibility. So the Higher level autho...

Hi Everyone So, being a bit bloody minded over this, I pressed on with my investigations. The County Council Customer Services fobbed me off with a pathetic response, telling me that they didn't accept it for recycling and that it was my responsibility to safely dispose of it. I went back and gave t...

From my experience as an aircraft electrical engineer, my immediate thoughts are poor Earths or other high resistance connections. Let me give you a little insight into how these things can work, or rather not.... So you've got 12v supply and 2 or more circuits share the same earth point. I won't go...

Social grade ABC1 ?? So that's the top 56% of the population. Given the amount of money it can take to restore a Minor and keep it going in that condition, I don't think that's surprising. The lower 44% are far less likely to have the disposable income required. Some people might traditionally put t...

This started off as a positive thread, as no cars have been reported stolen, but I’m sensing just a tad of negativity here - Minor owners have dubious morals, and their cars are getting nicked, but people aren’t posting about it... Imagine how terrible it would be if there were lots of posts report...

I wouldn't have thought your average car thief would target a Minor and I'm not sure that your typical Minor owner (Yes I know I've said, in other posts, that I dislike stereotyping) would want to buy a stolen car. I suppose a car wreck could be passed off as a good car and sold but again, the mark...

beware, I will keep doing this and could be after your car next!

Well you'll be out of luck, my number is non-transferable because some past owner sold the original !!! .
Mine is now on it's 3rd Reg number, having relinquished it's 1962 plate a few years ago.

That's a load of old 'Bull'. How do you 're-body' a car, in effect they are claiming that nothing is original apart from the manufacturers Plate. It's like Triggers Broom (if you're a Only Fools and Horses aficionado) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HisD_pqlRHQ And it appears that DVLA have not been...

on my modern car, I have a personalised plate. this is because I purchased it as it is my initials. . While I've got no objection to people buying such plates, I do think they should only be from scrapped vehicles or previously un-issued. People shouldn't be able to trade in something like registra...

A "Rebodied and re-engined" 54.. Or a ringer.

Sorry, am I missing something here?

That link is to a 'Contact' page

simmitc Are we at cross purposes here? I think we're all talking about the one here in the forum http://www.mmoc.org.uk/Messageboard/viewforum.php?f=50 which as I understand it, Camm said was moving over to the main site; however, there is a big difference between having members information pages on...
