Morris in Florida!!!!!!!

Post by **ben739** » Sun Apr 08, 2007 3:34 pm

I have finally gotten settled in, I picked up my Traveller a couple of days ago in New Orleans and drove it back to Florida where I am now living. I haven't seen another one yet. I don't think I will for a while either, I have been questioned at every stop light by everyone as to what car it is, and where it's from.

Its very cool having something so out of the ordinary and rare. So far, the only thing that has occurred mechanically was the throttle return spring broke, and i had to make a 5 minute repair. The fuel is like 1 pound 30 a gallon!!!! I have been averaging 40 +mpg so far.

Hope to hear from everyone. my msn messenger is beninnewkey@hotmail.co.uk or my yahoo messenger is ben739@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers,

Ben & Umpty

Glad you like it over the pond

. New Orleans to Florida must have been quite a drive in a Minor!

Well done - is it still a 55 mph speed limit in these States ? And remember the USA gallon is about 10% smaller than the Imperial gallon. Gas will still be an absolute bargain though compared to Blighty.

It may be north to south but it's uphill most of the way!
