Well... I went to look at the car today and provided it passes it's MOT tomorrow I'll be bringing her home

There's two patches of rust on her, one is a patch about an inch square underneath the rear o/s door and the other is a small patch in the boot so nothing major. She runs great

The seller took us out and stretched her legs and she purred like a kitten

Loads of history to go with her - she lived 20 years in Spain which must be why she's in such good shape

So where are the pics !!!!
I guess you had better just give Tim to me know then.....

Post by **MColes** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 5:39 pm

See the for sale thread. Could be more tempted to have Tim

I'm keeping the pics until I get the car home

The car went for an MOT this morning... it failed

Nothing major though

just needs a new flexi brake pipe. The seller is having the pipe replaced but the garage wont have the part until much later today or tomorrow so I have to wait til I can bring her home

The last time I saw so many ????? marks it was on the Joker's suit in Batman.

Are you sure your not having us all on Matt?

I did stop during a quick trawl on ebay the other day and look at this car. It looks nice. I remember the registration no. Will this be "No-rris the Morris" Matt?

The car Matt has bought wasn't on e-bay.

Post by **ASL642** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:21 pm

well wherrreever it was I remember that number!

Post by **LouiseM** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:23 pm

Do try to keep up

Sorry - still recovering from 4 days standing up at the NEC "flogging" - cough ....I mean selling the Regalia. Why are the concrete floors there so much harder than normal ones!

Have you considered a new line - MMOC slippers?

Post by **ASL642** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:30 pm

I was more thinking along the line of gel insoles (with MMOC logo of course)!

Post by **MColes** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 5:26 pm

You two make me laugh

The new car's registration number is HWV 103E - any ideas for names?

Post by **PSL184** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 5:29 pm

Huey ?

Honey?

Hywel (very Welsh ) especially as you found it in Cardiff

Post by **LouiseM** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 6:11 pm

Tim wasn't named after his reg number so I think you should carry on the tradition. The new car looks like a Stan to me
