Minor Inspiration
I keep this "minime" Morris Minor 1000 pickup near my computer for inspiration when I'm ordering parts or chatting electronically with you guys. Am I really that odd? or are there any other members with a minor inspiration nearby, if yes, lets see a shot of your Morris "minime"

Not the best photo, but here's my two!
The big green one was modified for me by my boyfriend on our one year anniversary, he bought a model, bought the paint, sanded it, masked it, sprayed it a matching shade of green, lacquered it, left a fingerprint in the roof for me, then misted up the windows (a running joke between us, where his mini de-mists windows easily, he has a theory the minor won't)! Considering he's the least patient person I know, this was quite a feat! It was accompanied by the card you can see behind it, with two minors drawn by him <3 All the doors open on it, the steering works and the engine and boot contents are accurate - minus the cobwebs!
The little white one was a gift from my mum - she saw it lonely in the gloucester museum shop and 'just had to get it'. At the time she didn't know whether mine was going to be a traveller or not, so took a lucky guess!
seems I have quite a collection of trinkets on that shelf - yes, that hexagonal bottle behind says 'BENBOW'S DOG MIXTURE'. I wish i knew what that was originally for. I think some vet medicine, maybe?
I also have the 'Motoring in a big way... economically... in the "Quality First" Morris Minor." postcard sticky tacked to the side of my bedside table.<br><br>
