As a parent myself, I understand where your parents are coming from, but you're a teenager,get stroppy. Rebel a bit (rebellion...Morris minors???!!!?). Tell them you're thinking of getting a motorbike. A Morris Minor will seem much safer to them.

Hi Mikey, I'm wondering if that car might be connected to family friends from Aberdeen. They were all interested in old vehicles, the daughter spent a fair bit of time in Czech (last time I met her she had an A35 and a Hudson Terraplane project), and the father, as a young man, had owned a pre-war M...

Cheers Mikey, Mike: Summer is great. It just doesn't get dark...winters however, it doesn't get light. People make the most of their summers. A "summer car" is a popular concept. I was seduced by the idea of open top motoring after being taken for a spin in a MG TF. It felt just like motor...

Hah!
Knew there'd be at least one on here.

Umm no.
Part of the appeal is that they are really rare here. I know an Englishman further down south who imported one recently, and I have a couple of mates in Scotland who run them.
I'll be looking at buying one in GB probably..only thing is, I sound like a scammer don't I?

Hullo!

Hullo there, I've just registered and thought I should introduce myself. I'm a Scot living in Finland. Who has suddenly developed a hankering for a Morris Minor. I've always had an old motorbike in my life but, with 2 kids now, last summer saw me doing barely enough miles to get the oil black. I fig...
