Tesco car park, Long Eaton: yes I know, I should have parked my convertible facing the other way, but I was so surprised to see the Traveller there...

I was in my local Halfords yesterday and overheard someone asking what oil to use for a Morris traveller so was able to point them in the direction of the 20/50. Here it is, and hello to the owner, who joined the club yesterday :D[frame]Image[/frame]

Always see a lovely looking brown moggy van on a trailer on a driveway in Horndean nr Portsmouth. It looks pretty tidy but has been on their trailer for a while. I see it when I'm out with the dog. Was hopping to bump into the owner but as of yet no luck.
Is it anyone on here?

Was out walking the dog on the usual route past the trailered brown van and 100 yds along the lane was a peat brown moggy 1000 looking a little worse for wear in a mechanics car park. Hopefully a restoration project. It was a 1966 D reg.

Getting errors posting to this thread, so 3rd time lucky...
Spotted on Sunday in Banstead, Surrey: Almond Green saloon. ELUxxxJ. A bit tired looking but still in use! Now discovered it belongs to members (and their border collie) whom I met at Warlingham Rugby Club. [frame]Image[/frame]

...and another one. In a showroom near Carshalton, Surrey. Smoke Grey (or Haze Blue??) 4-door. YEVxxF. Odometer showing 13,800 miles. Newish-looking paint. Front and rear seat-belts fitted. Good blue interior except for a split in the drivers' seat and faded carpets. Inquiries made. Apparently owned by the showroom proprietor and not for sale. Asked if I could take a pic, but was referred to the proprietor (absent today) for permission. Next to it, a 1995 Mini Mayfair, with less than 3,000 miles on it. Also not for sale. Both guarded by a somewhat grumpy Boxer dog!
