Re: A plea to restore valuable restoration threads
As the subject of out of date information in 'The Team' section has reared its head in this thread, maybe Admin could find the time to update the Messageboard Team Members list and their contact details? Andrew Booth hasn't been MMOC Webmaster/Web editor since 2006, and Jon Rocke (bpr81a) passed awa...

Re: long distance driving
For a story of two ladies taking a Minor on the North Coast 500 around Scotland last month see 'Driving Daisy Minor' on facebook. I drive my Minor Traveller every day, and doing a long journey in it doesn't bother me or OH. I wish we had more time to get away and travel but I have caring responsibil...

Re: What to look out for ... Checklist?
The wood. The wood and then the wood! The state of the window sliders. The roof and the guttering. Rear springs, should be 7 leaf, are they nicely bowed or tired out and flat? Then rust, as for any Minor (or other old car). AND... that the car details on the chassis plate tie up with the log book, a...

Re: Is it just me or does it happen to you?
Stop complaining and put up with it as female drivers of any car have been doing for years. Develop good driving skills, know when to accelerate away and when to sweetly smile and wave the idiot on. Install a good set of airhorns. Stay cool and stay safe above all. And if the person with a bright pi...

Re: Expensive Traveller at Aston Workshop.
Um, sorry, I may have missed summat on the vendors' website but can anyone in the MMOC tell me when that trav last won any kind of prize in any MMOC event? It all looks a looong time ago on the selling site. Meanwhile, should anyone wish to offer me 36,000€ for my trav which beat an awful lot of pos...

Re: Reducing noise in a Traveller
I have one of the quietest 1098 travellers on the planet - so I am told by other Moggie owners who ride in it from time to time. Firstly it's in vgc, mechanically and bodywork. Tyres correctly inflated. Secondly I have underlay under the carpets and in the spare wheel compartment. Thirdly I have sou...

Oh NOOO simmitic, you've repeated the Minor Matters P15 preview error: it's PROSTATE cancer, not lying down prostrate !! (it's correct on the booking form). Judging by the dietary requirements of MMOC members going on MOT2018 'fussy eaters' are not a small minority: I have 27 special dietary require...

Re: National Rally 2018
I have mentioned it to the organisers and no doubt a solution will be found.
There is so much for them to fit on to the application form, it can't be easy.
Overall it looks like a good programme which everyone should enjoy.

National Rally 2018
I don't want to be 'diffficult' but on the entry from we received with the MM magazine, there was no place to opt out of the food for the Saturday night party. What does one do if one cannot eat 'normal' pie for serious health reasons (like me, I'm Coeliac) or if one is vegan or allergic to onions o...

Re: 2018 Minors on Tour France.
If you're coming on MOT and staying on the campsite please contact Helen Cosslett if you wish to be sited near friends. This applies to mobile homes and to camping pitches. The campsite will do their best to put you together, but it also depends on the physical siting of different types of accommoda...

Re: Exmoor winter tour. 2018
Wish we could join you, we much prefer events where one can use the car to those where everyone just stands around chatting and comparing glove boxes. Lovely idea for the time of year, hope it goes well.

Watch channel 5's 'Celebrity 5 go Barging' on Friday nights (see the first episode shown on Feb 2nd on catch-up) to give yourselves a preview of the local scenery you'll find on the trip!

Re: 2018 Minors on Tour France.
I'm going to disappoint anybody who was looking forward to a forum spat. I have no intention of arguing with anyone about which is the best way from a to b in a Minor. It would be too much like my dear late father in law contesting whether a piece of wood was about six inches or just over 15 centime...

Re: 2018 Minors on Tour France.
Don't be afraid of driving your Moggies on French autoroutes, especially the A20 down to Cahors (which many of you can pick up just north of Orleans if you're coming via Chartres from le Havre, Caen or Dieppe). It's lightly trafficked and an easy drive, and much is toll-free.

No, Firedrake has withdrawn his application. Great shame , he was on the first one and other early ones too and we were looking forward to meeting up again.
