Re: MM National 2014
What about Scotland? Must be about time surely, we have had it in the South a few times and it would be great to go to!
My 1956 Series 11 Traveller! Bought when I was 17 (1985)....sold 6 years (1991) later......bought back 9 years after that! (2000) With 6 different owners in the middle, what a lucky boy I am!

Re: MM National 2014
Hi,
I'd travel north of the border, lots of things to see up there.
Anyway, time some of the southern moggies had a good run out......
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: MM National 2014
I would chuck the minor on the trailer and drive to Scotland...
In fact I would put the minor on the trailer wherever the rally is... much better sleeping in a van than a tent!

Re: MM National 2014
Being Scottish I would definitely like to see it up there. Would be a great opportunity to show my (hopefully completed by then) restoration to my elderly parents.

Re: MM National 2014
Would be good and a local one for me if was in Scotland. We would certainly make everyone welcome. I just think will be another 800 round trip next June though.
Re: MM National 2014
Can anyone "up North" suggest a suitable site? It must have plenty of room, be flexible about the number of visitors, easily accessible, not too expensive, provide a camping site, have good facilities, and provide something of interest to visit. Also need to consider whether traders would be prepared to make the trip, unless you were happy for a rally without many traders - many are located more to the South, and have to take a commercial decision on the cost of attending, whereas many owners treat it as a holiday.

All downhill on the way back ! Scotland sounds great !!!

Thirlestane Castle/park in the Borders could be a possibility, they already run lots of events.simmitc wrote:Can anyone "up North" suggest a suitable site?

Re: MM National 2014
Well at the moment... my one doesn't have an ignition switch, propshaft, axles, brakes, steering wheel, bonnet, fuel tank etc etc
But the minor will be faster, quieter and more efficient than the tow vehicle - I just have an aversion to tents

Donington. Combine the show with an open track day for cars attending at the owners leisure and it would be before the Download preparations if on the right date so it won't be a mess (unlike after Download )

With the extra power you will be able to fit a towbar for a caravan - simples - ......I just have an aversion to tents
................. or just keep a mattress in the back of the traveller for when the need arises....... just like the good old days!!
