Morris Minor Owners Club

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex says to post that the next challenge is:

A photo of you standing in front of your Minor holding your favourite tool (non-X-rated )
My favourite tool along with the pliers, essential BBQ equipment. MOT 2008. Charlie.

Well done Charlie! What is your challenge?

(Alex posting from Wibble's computer.)

My challenge is a pic of you & your first Minor. I'll give you an example, 718MMT c.1964 & just back from the coachworks after we were stuffed under the back of a lorry by a Morris 12. Small back windows, Mickey Mouse roof flashers & real hair & yes we did walk quick in those black & white days. Charlie.<br><br>

Hi all, you've probably guessed I do like this game. Can I suggest a slight change in that we have one challenge per week & everyone submits their version to be judged by someone like 'healthy12' who started it all off, then the winner chooses the next challenge. That way I think we will see everyone's interesting pics plus it gives time to dig out that old pic you know you've got filed away somewhere. Charlie.

Ok, here's mine:

Taken in, er, 1989 I think, on a campsite near Blackpool - an 'end of school 6th form camping trip'.
Still got the van, a May72 registered onem though its not been on the road for a few years.

ok, here's me with my first Minor I prefer black and white but the van was almond green, and AFAIK absolutely original except for the disc brakes. The pic was taken in the vineyard where I was working that summer, I am pointing at my colleague Louise
<br><br>
I think we must have borrowed the hats

Here's me with my first car, in the snow.
And that was only taken last year!<br><br>
Hmm, the car actually looks quite shiny there

Gosh, a Morris Minor used in the winter, my word Well done

This is me circa 1985 with my first love Claira<br><br>

Thanks folks, great response. How about the 'Challenger' judges after a week & the winner becomes the next challenger & judge & so on ? Charlie.

Sounds reasonable. A similar thing is happening over on the other forum.

Unfortunately I only have a few photos of my first Minor and I'm not in any of them.

Of course everyone here is very welcome to enter our Photography Contest on the other site as well. This weeks subject is Autumn/Winter.

digital cameras were'nt invented when I had my first Minor (and neither was my dress sense) so I'm keeping out of thisa one...

Analogue camera's had, hadn't they?

I take it you haven't got a scanner, sorry

Analogue camera's

So thats what a box brownie is then Bill I often wondered...................

Runner up though is wibble puppy. Thanks to everyone, congratulations Andy and over to you to set the next challenge. Charlie.

Thanks Charlie

OK, the next challenge is the best photo of your minor on or under a bridge.
I'll judge the best one next week.

Does a railway viaduct count?<br><br>
