Morris Minor Owners Club

Who knows aye haha

Two today: Grey pickup ***UYL at 8.20am on the A33 Basingstoke Road near Winchester and a maroon 2 door in Fleet XLT***G.

And another one not too far away - White and Red very unrestored but fully functioning pick up
driving through Salisbury this afternoon.

We were in England Thursday night to Sunday night, and apart from the 35 other Minors attending the same event as us we didn't see a single Minor on the roads. Spotted a rose taupe saloon hiding in a service parking area behind the Queensway in Bletchley on Sunday morning, but no others parked up anywhere.

We drove through the usual M25 traffic jams, along potholed B roads in Beds & Bucks, swung around countless mini and maxi roundabouts in Milton Keynes and faced SNOW driving through Towcester. I lost count of the number of folk taking photos of our car in pub carparks, and even on the M25( he wasn't driving).

Spotted an Old English White traveller RUC ***E around 12 noon 22/4, in the rain on the A286 in Birdham, West Sussex.

XJR230J blue traveller in beautiful condition on A34 Sourhbound early this morning

Today in Strathaven Lanarkshire -beside my 'modern' . Local lad told me there was another Trav alongside it earlier in the day Nice looking Traveller - sadly poor timber... Has MMOC badge - anyone on here ?? Just shows how small a Traveller is - my Dacia is by no means a big car - but towers over the Minor!

On Saturday there was a very nice lime green Minor van parked outside a shop in Chloraka village just outside Paphos. I expected to see Minors at the Paphos Harbour Classic Car show on Sunday but there wasn't a single one. Lots of VW beetles, Mercedes, Minis, Land Rovers, Morgans, a few MGs including a wonderful 1937 large SA saloon that looked better than new.

I saw two Travellers today one going towards Ashley Green and one near Great Missenden.

Oh I was just as suprised the size when I measured my traveller next to my friends kia picanto only 40cm longer than the kia and they have a tiny boot and bonnet ;)

I saw what looked like a Minor million at Dover port on Friday evening. Anyone here?

Probably a participant in the club's annual trip to France which is taking place this week?

A really nice van seen at the Suffolk Show today.[frame][/frame]

An OEW traveller going past my house, I was up a ladder cutting the hedge - nearly fell off

Spotted a trafalgar blue 4 door in eastleigh seemed very happy to see me in my trafalgar blue traveller

Peat brown Traveller on Sir Isaac Newton Way in Rochdale around 6:15pm in the middle of the worst hailstorm I've seen in many years. Poor sod...

Think this may be a car I owned - EGN ***J, it lives in Eastleigh now.
