Minors Rule

Post by simmitc »

It doesn't do to be conceited, but...
In the snow this morning we came to a hill where a number of modern vehicles were stuck, unable to grip and climb. I retrieved my spade and high-vis jacket from the back of the Traveller and proceeded, with help from some onlookers, to push the moderns up the hill. Loads of cheers and compliments. One chap looked at the Traveller and said "Ah, a Minor, they'll get through anything!", whereupon I got back in the Traveller and drove straight up the hill with no problem. :D I just hope that I don't now have any problems myself...

good effort!

my minor isnt great up hills in the snow. 185 tyres are not the best for that!
