Morris Minor Owners Club

I put my true age in the 50-59 ( oh dear...) wish I could change it to the 25-29 group as thats how old I feel..... I tell everyone I'm 27 + VAT, ok. and a little bit more !!!!!!
Mal

I admit it!

I'm the third person in the 30 -39 group (31)

At least I'm YOUNGER than the Moggies I own!

just realised this is the first time i have had to click the 30+ button

Thats more like it. I thought you were being shy (weeners).... Come on, any more?

..... I tell everyone I'm 27 + VAT,

Fantastic Mal.. best thing i have seen all day

just realised this is the first time i have had to click the 30+ button

Horrible feeling isn't it.................... you wake up one day and wonder where the hell's it all gone... ( several things !!!! )

I think all the bits you lose migrate to the stomach bcause they rarely shrink

What’s the only age group to drive a Moggie?

My age group, 50-59.

Why?................................Because.

Nothing more!....................No, just Because.

Incontrovertibly, Incontestably, Undeniably, Because.

You don’t need to say any more, its just right that 50-59 age group is the only age group that should be allowed to drive Moggies.


In fact, thinking about it is making me go all sentimental.


**Starts to sing with a Sob and Tears in the eyes**



Oh, I’ve got a car, it’s a regular out and outer,
Its taken me far, and I’ll tells you all about ‘er.

Its been 10 years since first we met,
Her bodywork was black as jet,
Its fading now, but she don’t fret,
Not my old gal.

She’s been on the road for forty years,
An’ it don’t seem a day too much.
Oh, there aint a nicer moggie in the land,
An’ its got such a lovely clutch,
No there aint a nicer moggie in the laaaaand
An’ its got such a luvverly cluuuutch.


There! Proof Positive. What other age group could burst into spontaneous song about their car!


'Sob,sob,sob'

I couldn`t agree more Woo.I was born a year before the Morris , so we were both minors together! These youngsters shouldn`t be allowed to play with our toys!!!!

Nah - the only age groups to drive Mogs are those who are at least as old as their car!

Oh dear. Now there's too many of you.

Better goad some other age groups.... Come on you -15-29's and you 60-80+s!!

(I'm a scientist, this is how you get good scientific results... )

I am 24, so harriet is exctaly 10 years older than me!

My age group, 50-59.

I personally like to see the young enthusiast owning and driving a Moggy..... I am in the same age group as Woo but I wish the younger ones could have experienced the 'laid' back and not rushed driving style of cars including Moggys in the 60's, life wasn't so hectic then.....Enjoy anyway, I still prefer the quiet country lanes.

Enjoy anyway, I still prefer the quiet country lanes.

Me too! When I'm travelling to see friends, if I've got enough time off then I try to make the journey *part* of the holiday; there's so much to see around the UK that people never notice becuase they're busy flying past on the motorway. Last year, driving back from a (CCDE) camping weekend my friends and I took about 8 hours to get back (it's about a 4 hour drive), including time spent at a roman ruin and a stone circle.... that we just found....

It's *far* more fun to travel that way

I fit into the 60 --69 age group : but I look 10 years younger !!! I wish ! Arfron

I agree with you there Kate, one of my favourite runs is over the North Yorkshire moors to Goathland, Nr; Whitby, it's where they film the Heartbeat series ( Aidensfield, as it's known ) I go there quite a few times in the year, the long way round, through some stunning countryside. It takes me about 3 hours, stopping to admire the views quite frequently.... over the main 'Moor road' you can do it in 1/2 hour, but thats not the same........
When I was there in September they were doing the filming for the next series, I was actually filming them as they were filming some of the scenes.....quite interesting.
I will most likely do it again before Christmas, if the weather hold up....
Mal

i'll always remember going up the pen y pas in snowdon in a combination of first and second in the first moggy with a desperate trail of new cars behind us... splendid - especially when we stopped to pick up a couple of hitch-hikers (we don't do it to wind up fellow motorists - honest)

Ohhh, I'm the youngest at the moment. Aww, I'm 18 in just over a month then I won't be really young.


Where've you been? Haven't seen from you in ages!

Been really busy doing nasty coursework, revision etc. See, there are drawbacks to being young!

I like your comment about 27+vat, class!
