I'm in a village called Rosemarket, between Milford Haven and Haverfordwest in God's Own County, Pembrokeshire.

Another member, Animal Jack (green refurbed van and a Trav) lives in Pembroke Ferry, just below the Cleddau Bridge, about four miles from me. Or twenty seven miles if the bridge is shut.

There's a guy in my village with two Morris Oxford MO's and at least one minor (black) and actually may have more.

I am 15 miles North of Norwich and 6 miles from the coast with Ezmerelda my 1956 series II daily driver and Paddy my 1963 who lives in the garden waiting to see if I will rebuild him or stick him on ebay (he has a bad case of rot)

I intend to live forever.....so far so good

easy peasy, even engines get shipped over!

an eye kept on eBay too, I bought a genuine traveller rear wing for sweeties last year on eBay.fr. I didn't need it, but the price was SO good and you never know when you'll hit a tree stump

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 home this Saturday, I'll be on a rare visit to that fair city, accompanying mother to see her bro for his 97th birthday (mum's 90!). Not in a moggie, I can't get one in Ryanair hand baggage allowance. I'll be incognito in a polo so if one flashes at you wave back. I've no idea what colour the polo is so I can't warn you.

That's good to hear (Also carlosramalho). Some friends of mine have just bought a house about 50 miles east of La Rochelle, so that must be on the way to your neck of the woods. They sold house of the wife's late parents and now have to sell their own (Great house for classic car people 7 covered car parking spaces).

In a suburb on the eastern side of Southampton. On first appearance one of the most hideous towns in Britain but one that has undeniably pleasant pockets of suburbia, and I'm in one of them. Convenient transport links but quiet(no hooligans) and a real community feel in our street.
To the west is the New Forest, at it's best in winter where there are few more beautiful locations to be on a frosty morn. To the east The South Downs and rolling chalk countryside with masses of footpaths and bridleways. Getting around by car however can be a real test of patience as the coastal and London corridors are fragmented, grossly out of date and over-used. Gettting out of this in a Moggie on a quiet weekend is one of the only motoring pleasures left arond here.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Anyone else noticed that there are no West Country moggie owners willing to be more exact about where they live ? We are all too afraid to be that's why!
There's been too many stolen in our neck of the woods,it's probably the root cause of my insomnia.........

My 58 Morris Van and 68 Austin Van reside in Wagga Wagga, NSW, Oz. Population about 60,000 and growing fast.

Wagga Wagga in the local indigenous language means 'many crows'.

All the best for 2010!
