Re: A Happy New Year to all Morris Minor owners
Happy new year to all. I can't quite grasp it's 20 years since the millennium and that we are in the 20s. During the 1970s, I used to sometimes get taken to VSCC events at Prescott and I was very keen on the cars you would see, most of which we around 50 years old. Here am I now running about in cars of more less that age . I never got around to a pre war car but if I was ever to add to what I have, it would be something like an MG M Type Midget or perhaps and MG TA or Morgan 4/4 Series 1.
Anyway, I've now lived in 7 decades, my parents 10 and my mother's last surviving aunt, aged 97, in 11 decades!!!
In thirteen weeks from today, my MG Midget will finally get it's free tax. I've paid a bit on it over the last 36 years!! Though you might all like to note one of it's badges .

I look at that car and it only seems like yesterday when 'V' reg cars were new, where did the years go??...........In thirteen weeks from today, my MG Midget will finally get it's free tax. I've paid a bit on it over the last 36 years!!
Best wishes,

Re: A Happy New Year to all Morris Minor owners
I wish I knew; I think the turbo kicked in around 1990. When my late grandfather reached 90, I asked him what 90 years was like. Bear in mind that he had slowed down a bit but on that his answer was instant and crystal clear "Not long when you look back on it". I was warned. In terms of cars, I tend to think of anything pre H reg (Suffix of course) as old and before letters as really old, which I think reflects what it was like when I grew up. I don't think of the Midget as old. Thinking of V reg, not long before I left, my school had a new V reg Mini bus and it replaced a G reg one, which was getting on a bit. In many ways I am in a kind of time warp, in that the newest car I ever had (If you exclude a single seater built in 1989) was a 1987 car. I was a late comer to computers, which I use only as a tool. I don't use Facebook (I was persuaded to join but left, as it all seemed rather trivial - I was expecting someone to post that they were on the toilet) or any of those kinds of things, this forum being about as near as I get to it. My mobile phone is just that; put another way, a phone box in my pocket. It's certainly not a life support machine.
