Just as well - I was at the nationals all weekend, the Minor was towed back and left there after dumping the majority of its vital fluids in and around Lincolnshire!

Oil, water and brake fluid? That's quite a breakdown!

The lady wife saw a bright yellow 'pick up' moggy driving up Alexander road in Glodwick, Oldham today. Never seen it before. I asked her, "Did you see the reg'?" "No," she said, "...but it was very shiny!!!"

Spotted at lunchtime, today, Black 4-door PCY 357G, driving along Teddington High Street in the direction of Teddington Lock (location of the old Associated Rediffusion/Thames TV studios). Driven by a young lady - went past all too quickly for me to get mobile phone out of pocket to take photo.

2 new 'spots' this week, anyone on here?

My folks saw an orange (!) Pick-up in Poringland near Lowestoft, Suffolk.

Today, in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, I glimpsed a two-tone, white and lime-green, 2-door saloon with the spare on the boot-lid and possibly a roof-rack too? Unfortunately, I only got a seconds look between parked cars.

Anyone?

Sunday morning on way to work - spotted a Minor traveller Panda car (can't be too many of these?) on the A456 heading towards Tenbury Wells from Newnham Bridge.
I was on my bike going the other way so not really much point in waving! (Too out of breath and another 10miles to go so no energy spare for waving...) :-?
cheers

Saw a very nice green convertible driving into Newton Abbott (Devon) last Wednesday late afternoon. Only just saw it as it passed in other direction in heavy traffic.

Had a fuel problem this afternoon, managed to limp into Home Base in Cwmbran, came to a hault next to a very good looking old english white four door minor. Looked very original inside and out. Spent about 15 minutes fitting a spare petrol pump that I had in the boot, no sign of the owner, was hoping to say hello, fuel problem sorted and off home.
