It's great to see all you young guy's and girls with Moggies - I had my first one in 1982 and (except for about 4 years) there has always been one in some state or other in my ownership ever since...

Just to make you feel old... I wasn't even born then

I am 18, I don't have my own moggy, but my girlfriend who is 17, does. However she doesn't have even a provisional driving Lisence, but I have full with loads of other entitlements. As soon as I have finished rewiring, and retriming hers, I shall be driving it

I do all the work and I get to drive it .... for the time being!

Hmmmmmm - next time you want something deliverin.........

But seriously - enjoy your "age" cause it catches up with you all too quickly. On the up side, you get much much wiser

17! Scary thought though isn't it that most of us posting on this thread were born in the 90s! I think thats enough to make most people feel old.

I was born in '89. Now Even I feel a bit old

its a great feeling knowing you have your own car at 15. i have big plans in the future to own many more moggys. i had to do alot of news paper rounds but i got their in the end (all worth it even if i did feel like centurys to save

Ah, I'm 18, and for me it's been paper rounds and working at Sainsbury's. The money you save on the insurance and road tax greatly outweighs the expenses you incur to keep the car ship shape (although I suppose it depends on condition)!

Are any of you going to the National Rally next weekend? I really want to meet some of my fellow younger Minor owners!

Post by **MColes** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:17 pm

I'm going and the plan is for us 'younger' owners to meet up. Not sure when though. I was thinking Saturday evening?

Post by **rsawatson** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:25 pm

That sounds good, but when/where?

Post by **MColes** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:28 pm

Well are you camping?

Post by **rsawatson** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:30 pm

Yeh - towing a trailer tent

Post by **MColes** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:32 pm

Well I thought we'd meet up on the Saturday at the Campsite. I think the plan is for all the forum members to camp close to each other so it shouldn't be too hard for us to find each other.
