Re: Spotted today.
A Series II seen parked near the Place de la Concorde, Paris, today and to date is the only Minor I've seen in France apart from my own. The car has an MM Owner's Club sticker. I have seen this car several times before in this area. It has several parking tickets on the windscreen. Naughty, naughty!

Ah yes.....this is my Brother's carMarkyB wrote:Sounding fruity and in a hurry, a Trafalgar Blue 4 door being driven towards Woolwich from the west.

Standard 1098 engine, gearbox still with the 948 diff- just one of those cheap stainless systems with no silencing powers...and one of those funnel things from Halfrauds on the end for good measure!
Ford vented disks and servo, telescopic rear dampers with 7 leaf springs and front anti roll bar- more like driving a go cartMarkyB wrote: Must have very good brakes, and razor sharp reactions given the driving style.

We've had our suspicions about driving style (when out of Mum's sight!!)

beware South London!

Re: Spotted today.
Sounds like fun, I'd suggest leaving a bit more room for error though, other drivers can be very unpredictable.like driving a go cart

Can't decide whether to post this to Minors in popular culture or here but here it is.

Re: Spotted today.
Saw a Blue van, in fact I've been seeing it for several weeks now heading towards London on the A2 at about 4.45.
Managed to get a picture this time:[frame]

Driver has a beard and looks a bit familiar, maybe from a Kent branch meeting that I used to attend.

Re: Spotted today.
Light blue convertible going up the M5 near Droitwich this afternoon. Looked to have a short registration like two numbers then three letters and a dark blue hood. It was in the inside lane going north and I was int he inside lane going south so it was only a fleeting glimpse... First one I've seen on the road this year!
cheers

Re: Spotted today.
I guess that could have been ASL642 (formerly known as regalia queen). she's got a light blue convertible with a dark blue hood, and lives around these parts (i can hear the M5 from here!). I can't remember what her reg is though, think it's _ _ _ _ _ _ A!IaininTenbury wrote:Light blue convertible going up the M5 near Droitwich this afternoon.
