Morris Minor Owners Club

Our first 'recent' Minor (as opposed to the bangers I had as a youngster) was Abigail, reasons lost in the mists of time. Then came Beatty, my BT van, followed by Carrie the convertible, Dixon the panda car (you have to be of a certain age to 'get' that one!), Emily and Felicity were a couple of two...

I bought some deer meat for the kids to try, but I thought rather than tell them what it was I'd just give them a clue and see if they could guess. So when they asked what it was, I said "its what mummy sometimes calls me". One of them turned to the other and said "don't eat it, its a...

I really do have no i deer what you're talking about.

Hi all, just to clear something up - we didn't know that there would be a 'no dogs' policy on the rally field until the weekend a few weeks ago, when the rally team went down for a site inspection. They only informed us on the Saturday, prior to our wander around the field the following day. It most...

After this years MOT a couple of us are going on a jolly - bit more of France, Switzerland, Italy, going across the Saint Bernard Pass and back through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. We've room for more, if anyone fancies coming with us? Go on, you know you want to! http://minors-on-tour.org.uk/2013-mot-ext...

Anybody looking for a Traveller and ready to be messed about? :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-MORRIS-MINOR-TRAVELLER-ALMOND-GREEN-BARGAIN-/321072530138?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D5613760709512386124%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D10...

So they had yet another Minor owner on standby then! And when they contacted littleblackflash on Monday they were still getting back to me! I think drivewasher sums it up perfectly, they have definitely made arrangements with several of us without having decided which they were going to use and been...

Well, obviously its an exercise in damage limitation, yes. I did rather take that as a given that didn't need stating! But I still thought it was good of them to ring and personally apologise rather than just make a post here with something they dreamed up to cover what we all now know. As I said, I...

I have just had a call from attaboy. We only spoke for a few minutes, but in the interests of fairness I wanted to post here that they have been man enough to call me and apologise. Personally, I still have a couple of concerns that they appear to have had several leads running simultaneously when t...

From the replies here it looks like they're .... ummmm..... disingenuous in playing owners off against each other too. I'm glad I didn't drive down to them and I'll make damn sure nobody I know offers them a car in future. The only pity is I didn't know before the NEC, as I'd have loved to give Brew...

Just a quick 'heads up' for anyone else contacted by attaboy.tv for this (or any other, really) project. I emailed them on the address they gave in this thread saying I had a car available. Didn't get any reply at all, and just assumed they'd found a vehicle elsewhere (but would have been nice to ha...

....and who'd want a Porsche when you can have a Minor! :D Never had a 911, too closely related to a 'That Who's Name Shall Not Be Spoken' (cough, spit). Been through a variety of 'desirables' though, Audi A8, older M5, couple of big Jag's, even an ex-embassy armour-plated S class Merc (until I rea...

Hey Bruce
I corrected your spelling mistake for you...

My local branch - Lincolnshire has a one in one out policy. I think I have to wait until someone dies to get in! I may have to join Cambridgshire or Northamptonshire instead. No, Lincolnshire certainly isn't 'one in, one out' - you've accidentally slipped between Lincs branch pages (http://theminor...

:o WHAT WAS THAT SOMEONE ENJOYING THEM SELVES AT A NATIONAL :o think they should be banned from future events :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :wink: :lol: I reckon it should be Bimbles who can't come - fancy not liking Abba?! :D :D and no we (MMO members ) did not see or hear any thing :wink: any way the o...

If you find other peoples cars so offensive why did you go? Thats a silly thing to say. If you read the rest of this thread, it started off by inquiring when does a car become a different car due to the amount of modifications. Thats how we got to this. Also, do you not think the person claiming ca...

(Look what happened to some of the old 30s Fords, ie the Ford model B, the V8. Its next to impossible to get hold of a standard one, nearly everyone in existance now has a 'roof chop' or has been made into a 'hotrod'.) Fantastic! Customising cars has been going on for as long as cars have been in e...

My minor (Bluey) doesn't have its original 1098 engine, the engine has a cylinder head off a mini (or midget or some other 1275), the carb off a marina, an aftermarket exhaust, marina disc brakes, a servo, a ford gearbox, aftermarket wheels, poly bushes, traveller rear springs, an antiroll bar, an ...

"if you've seen one you've seen em all" and that can't be said of the custom cars. :lol: Yes, that might be true, but isnt the Morris Motor club about preservation, as the club says in its motto? The fact is, that your 'modified' minors may be more interesting than a standard to minor to ...

agreed I like it when the different types(is that the wrong word ?) (not that i'm now paranoid?) are all jumbled up :D otherwise it seems a bit like the Queen walking down a line of troops when she really wants to talk to the chap/ess behind in the second row :) Look, I know some people were dresse...
