Morris Minor Owners Club

Thank you!

Why am I down as 'minor friendly' whereas some are addicts, legends or maniacs? is it to do with the N° of posts? Or is it in our profiles? It surely can't be to do with MMOC membership N° or number of years we have owned and/or driven Minors. Just an idle thought whilst doing accounts on a wet Frid...

So, OK, I email YOU but what about anyone else?
I'm not 'doing your event down' just suggesting how you might promote it

Isn't it about time that the organiser(s) of this event started a new thread stating when & where it is to be held?
Occasional users like me can get v confused by all the other stuff

Blimey Charlie, is that old van still going???????

People smile, and stop to chat with you in car parks.

However, I wish Brits abroad on holiday wouldn't be so rude, you can see them pointing and saying 'oh look there's a Morris Minor'. I was always told it was rude to point!

Good to see all those Norfolk folk signing in, you are of course also blessed with the presence of Chairman John Frye and spares genius Bryan Gostling Not to mention NCFC.... we're on the road to Wembley this year (twice!) and back UP to where we belong if we can keep going..... I wish City were at ...

How do our overseas members manage getting spares? Morris Minor Centre Birmingham, Newton Commercial, John Evans for gearboxes, Woodies for wood and club spares for series II stuff easy peasy, even engines get shipped over! an eye kept on eBay too, I bought a genuine traveller rear wing for sweetie...

never seems to get much of a mention on this site

Possibly because there is a designated MOT website and messageboard:

http://www.minors-on-tour.org.uk/

which is several months out of date, and no-one posts there

Not me : that week is a busy time for our business and we can't get away for a week.

I remember the 1st MOT to Fontainbleu. It rained..and rained..and rained until everyone else left the campsite then the sun came out and we packed our tent in the dry. The 2nd MOT to Oudkarspel rained as well!!!! Michael Perry 494 Pity you didn't come to the anniversary celebrations last year, we h...

Interlaken... I remember it well (not sure Mandy does, remember her hangover?!) nb for MOT and MOT UK organisers... we took around 100 cars and made more money for charity than any other MOT. Bits of the car I drove on that rally live on in my traveller today (RIP 2-door almond green saloon CGK 216H...

Hi I shall be in the UK shortly and I want to pick up reasonably-priced amp & speakers for an iPod set-up in a moggy. (Prices are so much cheaper than in France). Any recommendations - or products to avoid? I dont want top-of-the-range stuff, just a simple 2 speaker set-up. Also, ideas for an iP...

How many cars went on the 2009 event, how many miles did you do on the event?

Wimp!

Having had TWO tyres knifed the other afternoon I can confirm that 155's are readily available in France (ordered late one afternoon from a local tyre place, fitted the next day) but 145s are impossible to come by via a standard dealer. Price 110 euros for the pair, fitted and balanced. Luckily wher...

Thanks, all!

Danish Oil is a polmerized linseed oil, I didn't know Bondex sold it - I have only seen their varnish (lasure in French) products. Rustins is the danish oil I have seen online

A member of the French Minor Club has acquired a traveller in vgc, the wood has been treated with danish oil. We've not used this product, so any tips would be welcome - in particular he asks if he can give the oiled wood a top coat of gloss varnish, or is it best to leave it oiled (& to re-oil ...
