Fighting off with a stick! A very short/short/long *delete as appropriate* lesson of how it's done properly on the back seat could have been more fun. Perhaps a sign on the rear window saying "Queue here" and another sign saying "One at a time only as three is a squeeze" could keep the colories from the burger stalls off the waistline for a while.

Love your car speedbox, any more info on it? A website of its own, or a build thread?

Back on topic, I think my Minor (Bluey) might class as a babe magnet too. It's how I managed to land my girlfriend (now fiancée )... but as she didn't drive at the time, perhaps it was just the fact I had a car...

She likes them so much, she's got her own now (Borris).

I should perhaps explain, the lady on the right is my Wife and the left my good friends wife.
The back seat was always a struggle, as I drove a spitfire in my prime happy days eh? but dont tell the wife

As a lad I swapped my Morris Minor for an MG Magnette. Now, that was a back seat!

[sudburypaul]

Indeed, my Mk 3 Magnette back seat was spacious - though the leather was a bit slippery and chilly on a cold winter's night in the far north east of England...

Dude magnet: My 18 yr old daughter is constantly chatted up at petrol stations by, ahem, men of a certain age who reminisce about her Series 2 Minor. Trouble is she keeps having to put them right on some of the detail. She is actually quite glad its the car that's the attraction on these occasions, but I'm not sure its the only motivation for some of them!

Talking of putting people right on details. I had a man come up to me and point to the blanked off trafficator moulding on my 4 door's b-post.

He tapped on it and said 'bet you didn't know this... but that's the one thing they changed during the whole of production'.

When I'd stopped laughing I walked him around the car and pointed out every other thing changed during production

There's nothing more satisfying than proving someone like that wrong! Car colours are a personal favourite in that respect.

As soon as I mentioned the split screen he realised it was an over-ambitious statement!

If someone's a know-all I just listen while figuring out the quickest escape but most people are nice.
