If you tell me precisely what numbers it is you're looking for ( and why?) then I'll give you my numbers anytime! Seriously, if you don't have to physically see them then you're welcome to mine.
I had that "Nuclear Power- No thanks" sticker on my filing cabinet in my lab. and my car some two or three decades ago. Think I got them from Greenpeace! Still feel much the same way, really!

Swings and roundabouts as far as I can see, are you fans of fracking?
We are all very keen on electricity :)

Fair few

As for the 'POMMReg Welcome', will only take numbers with the
owner present.

Wouldn't want anyone fiddling about with one of mine in my
absence, agree with our Les with regard giving out info.

Which day's going to be best attended Minor wise?

Sat or Sun?

How about a Lanyard as id?

As a Jaffa Cake addict, would I qualify for a stint on the
Jeremy Kyle Show - are tattoo's and a dull Mancunian
accent a requirement?

Will be carrying a clipboard & copy of the book.

10 seconds flicking through the book will render the owner
unconcious, allowing me to note the their vehicles' numbers.

How's that for a plan?!
Sounds good, if I miss you, meet me in Gloucester for a pint. UXH probably not going, decided to throw an electrical problem at me.and electrics are not my cup of tea. Did discover, no less than seven mice skulls though,while rummaging through what's left of the loom,behind the drivers glove box ! And how about the remains of a Scottish fox,under the sump of SLM 454,there must be better hobbies.Would the modern day Mouse have a chew at a Euro box loom ? Looking like a weekend out for FYB. :wink:

Was the fox surrounded by multiple empty cans of "Special Brew"?

Fox that visits our garden seems to have a thing for banana skins....STRANGE or what?!

Thanks for the back up on the Jaffa cakes! My wife thinks it's only me that eats a whole packet at once.

I don't actually mean a whole packet at once! I mean a whole packet at one sitting! Oh well jaffas will know what I mean.

I've progressed to Maple & Pecan Plaits!

You get hooked on Jaffa Cakes, then M&PP's and before you know it
you sink to the depths and the ONLY thing that satisfies your craving is
researching Minor chassis,body & engine numbers.

A short slippery slope to Doomchester.

Thank you to all those kind owners who allowed me to take their vehicles' details!

Just a handful of bemused owners, but unlike last year NO-ONE thinking I was doing
anything suspicious!!

All info gathered goes onto the MINOReg database, for its use only!
