Calling North Devon - Any Minor owners wanting to meet up?

Post by Squiggle »

Hi there

Belated Happy New Year everyone.

I moved to Barnstaple in November 2011.

Just wondered if there are any other owners nearby.

I see the nearest MMOC club is Exeter. Not sure my mog could cope with all the hills at the moment.

Maybe I could join and take a photo with me :roll:

Hi there

Oh you have a vespa too....cool.

I've got the parker but never got the vespa.

Have been tempted to sell the Moggy and get a vespa though when so many things kept going wrong.
It would have to be an original vespa though = big pennies :(

What colour/reg is your moggy?

I'll keep an eye out. And maybe see you at the next rally?

Are you joining a branch?

:D 's

Maybe we can start a branch if we can find more owners. I think Barni should have one.

Will you put a photo on your signature sometime? [and the Vespa!?]

Thanks Dale,

I'm going to be one of those folk who say "Why can't the National be held near here?"

Of course this year it's nearer where I was living :roll:

I think I saw you driving up Bouport Street lunchtime 11th Feb!
I saluted but you wouldn't have known who I was :-?

How exciting. Will you be ready for a convoy to the National this year?
