Morris Minor Owners Club

Depends on whether the back door is open or closed

LOL I'll have to read up on this concours malarky - my uneducated opinion is that the cars that enter look way better than ones which came off the production line or youd ever see them in a dealers showroom - still cant be a bad thing - keeps all that rabble in the garage polishing not roaming the streets terrorising folk

You lose points if the Dog is ungroomed, if its breath smells and especially if it bites the judge.

(runs away and waits )

So points lost for visible welding under the car, apart from factory style spot welds???

No. The criteria for the judging of the underside in respect of welding is as follows.

2. Complete underside restoration technique (welding/painting), brake pipes, fuel pipes and fuel tank.

You lose points if the Dog is ungroomed, if its breath smells and especially if it bites the judge.

But not if he buys the beer

seriously I like the car and dont think the builder was trying to change it so that it wasnt a moggy anymore, more that hey thought that the car they had was a good platform for some indevidual form of expression.

Me? A pognophobe? How very very dare you!

I'm not frightened of beards. I just don't like them.

or

There's lots of things I don't like LouiseM and pognophobe, an assumption that all people with beards are weird is just one. Perhaps one of you would like to talk to me about it See you (I doubt it ) at the Midland Rally
