Mmm, yes. Missed this one. Have Moggy and camera at the ready!
Probably dosn't matter if we repeat some of the older topics either as thinking of new ones was always a problem...

I can't enter because I set the challenge, but here's an example of the kind of thing I'm hoping for:[frame]Image[/frame]
Fenchurch (registered in 1963 so possibly built in 1962) parked near Arthur the satellite antenna (completed in 1962) at Goonhilly Downs.

I don't care how big that thing is. If you can't get BBC2 on it then it won't interest me.... :lol:

Absolutely zero effort here on my behalf, as its where I normally park at work - next to the 1954 Land Rover with my 1953 Minor. Only a year out. Yes I know, try harder.... :wink:[frame]Image[/frame]

Yes I know its the same as my signature pic, this is my lowlight bulit in May 1950 outside my house built in February 1950!

If the exchange of contracts all goes to plan this Friday I can also add a picture of my new house built in 1963 with the green minor aslo built in 1963, fingers crossed :-?

I was tempted to award it to DAVIDMCCULLOUGH because his was the closest date-wise (hope your house purchase is going well, BTW), but I've decided the best entry was IaininTenbury's picture of a 1954 Landy next to his 1953 Minor. :)

Ah, sorry folks. hadn't noticed, or expected that! Just back from Crich Morris Minor Day....
Anyway, a nice easy broad subject this time - your Morris Minor and 'modern technology'.
Anything from your ipod plugged into your in car wireless, to parked outside a branch of PC World! Loads of scope here.
Best one wins the virtual prize, fame and fortune.
