I saw a lovely early Robin at a classic car meet in Hempsted in the summer. Very basic inside , very basic engineering but great fun !

I assumed that there had been a typesetting error and that it should have read "moderately corroded left wing".....

Or indeed just moderately corroded!

I think left & right are a bit like east & west; go far enough one way and you end up coming back the other way. Is 179.9 degrees west much different from 179.9 degrees east?

I fancied a Kitten estate but you never saw many of them. Wheels are too small to be an SUV and it needs a foot more ground clearance, just to give the impression of off road capability, if not the reality of it

Surly you know that if you go that far east or west you will fall off the edge of the world.

The Reliant Kitten made for the basis of a replica Dellow trials car and very nice it looked too.

For me, one out of seven is not bad. I leave to you to work out which one! M

How many of the six youguv categories for a typical Minor owner (on page 1) do you satisfy - if any ?

Just one, was a couple more before I finished work - unless 'working in the home and garden profession' means retired

All of them, I'm afraid - if you count being a construction professional as "Home and Garden". The disposable income tends to be disposed of by others, though....

It would be interesting, although perhaps against data protection laws, to review the demographics of MMOC members in a few age segments and to know how large each one is! I do wonder if this kind of community is becoming more diverse or not, the car shows 'up here' are certainly very male, quite old and rather monocultural. No offense to the local members of course.

Add 25 years to my age and it hits the nail on the head for me
