here's some more

castle donnington race track would be good

or silverstone race track

Anglesey great track lot of other clubs have meets there, Bring back Jonathan jls he,s done quite a few track days. This subject has had a good response it needs doing (modified minors) Ratrodmog you've started something now (good on ya) [frame][/frame] heres a pck up found on the net

Just to say would also be very interested in modded meet with a track somewhere, and i imagine most modded minors would cruise along on motorways alot better that standard lumps, which should help the turnout

Loads of great track suggestions, thanks guys . It does seem that I may have started a new wave of ideas I have no idea how to start a show but I'll try and get something sorted for next summer, even if it's a dedicated show area at the national for us to mess around in .

dantournay, are you building this yourself as it looks like you have an amazing engineering mind and when can we expect it to be show ready

how about a christmas meet where we could all meet at a pub and show off our cars

it would be better as a weekend thing cause of how far sum people will have to travel, no point goin 200 miles to go to a pub,

I wish! No, none of my handiwork I'm afraid. Jonathan and all at http://www.jlhmorrisminors.co.uk deserve the credit for it as they've done everything except the recent bodywork work.

An obsessive mind perhaps but I'm delighted with it so far and all going to plan I'll have it running for summer next year.

perhaps have to arrange a proper meet then next year or something

Here are some pictures of my Fiat 2 litre twin cam [frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

ratrodmog, If the nationals are at harewood again next year ????? How about something on the hill climb course ?? there's a big car park so no trouble with space and it only across the road

Blimey, I thought the third one down was mine at a quick glance!

Some great pics on here btw.

love the model wana be

Here is a picture of mine. Due for an engine upgrade etc soon and possibly a change of colour.

Cool, upgrade to what can i ask?

fistly i did fancy a 1300 spitfire engine, box an a dolomite rear axle (as i have the rear axle from one of my previous cars), but i have also been told about an 1800 marina engine (complete) plus i have now seen a 1300 engine.

My dream engine would be a V8 - but i am waiting for the right car (resto) job before i put one of them into a moggie

GDL so you have changed your mind and are keeping it..

the 1300 marina engine is a straight "forward" change the 1800 is the B series i believe and is a big heavy lump..probably better off with the 1300

I was always in two minds whether to sell, as deep down i wasn't 100%, so he stays with me.

Yeah the 1300 is the option i am going for. i will keep you all posted, and hopefully will then show off its new colour (fingers crossed)
