how many living cheesegraters(ie...with mot!!)

Post by callyspoy »

hi guys, just a thought....how many people own a series II, with a cheesegrater, that has an mot. my dad and i often see moggys around but never have i seen a cheesey...obviously there are many im sure, and if i went to a couple of meets at some point, im sure i'd see some...but i was wondering who on here has a roadworthy one...

Use our 52 MM cheeser every day. Not the best towing-car ever, but it gets me there

Towing with a sidevalve is good because you now have an excuse for going so slow!.Image

Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!

Not the easiest job I must admit, but very rewarding.

Plane has 3 times the power output and weighs about 1/3 of the Mog. Twice as fast, too!
(and cheaper to run, and quieter, and more fun,and....)
Cardiff to Bornemouth in about 40 minutes. Try that in a Minor ( or even a Ferrari)



Of course, you MUST remember to remove the Mog before getting airborne :oops:
