Morris Minor Owners Club

In that case; I live in Leicestershire, can you come over and do some work on my Minor, Ray?

Quick, take him up on the offer before he changes his mind!

Too true in more ways than one.

But what about if I can't afford the money up-front to repair that nice Roller I've just wrecked, eh? I'd rather pay for insurance, plus they sort out all the legal stuff for you too - I hit the back of a modern hatchback a few years ago in my second Minor (wrote it off), and it helped me repair the...

Ooh, I found some;

Cheers, I will have to look into it further then.

Just to add a bit of a random tangent here, as this is a decorating thread; I want to paint my radiators to look either pale antique gold or bronze, does anyone know of any suitable paint for this? Someone suggested car spray paints, but I want to know if they will withstand the heat (we have our ra...

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree, having needed my insurance on more than one occasion! And no, I'm not a manic driver, just somewhat unlucky. I pay my insurance on the basis that, if indeed I do hit and damage or write-off a very expensive car, I won't have to worry about finding the money out of my...

Everyone here knows mine is called 'Ector, that's because of the number plate - ECT 105D (well, ECTO 1 was already taken!). Previous Minors have been called names relating to the numberplates too - Wimpy, for WMP 931K, Kasper, for KAS 811, and the only car that didn't have a name was the Pug.

I thought some parts suppliers here in the UK were happy to ship parts abroad?

Sky TV; the early years.

Welcome here, Wagoneer, and good luck with the new (old) mog!:)

Unfortunately staying there isn't an option, neither is buying anything over five hundred quid. It's going to be vaguely temporary, as eventually we'd probably move up there, it all depends on if the other half gets a job in those parts. 'Ector is pretty much fixed, but I'm still paying off the gara...

Hi guys, I need some help again. :oops: I've got a new job, but it means a daily trip of nearly a hundred miles from Oadby in Leicestershire to Alfreston in Derbyshire. Now, there's no way on earth I'm going to put 'Ector the Traveller through that! So, I need a cheap, motorway-friendly car, up to 1...

It's no good, I really am struggling and I can see a nasty flicker developing on the screen. Having to log out now.

Nope, I hate it - it looks undefined and messy to me, and there's too much fussy stuff on the left hand side of the screen now. Plus, having a pure white background with black lettering can make my eyes wobble, it's too harsh - any chance of having a different skin similar to the old one please?

I've never had a problem doing 60-65mph on the motorway. Maybe I've just been lucky, as I'm content to sit at those speeds in the slow lane and allow everything else to pass - and aren't trucks supposed to have limiters (British ones, at least)?

And unfortunately, for those of us British folks who are willing to start on a fairly low wage and train up on the job, or just work hard for a steady, secure wage, all the work has now gone to foreign nationals (and good luck to them, they're hard workers). This is probably because a vicious circle...

A certain Simpsons' episode concerning the UN springs to mind - something about squabbling children, I think . . .

Hehe, 1400GPB a month is more than I've ever earned, so don't moan!
