Morris Minor Owners Club

How about a car load of Aliens<br><br>

Aliens and a van..... all good so far!

Isn't it about time we resurrected this thread?

Yes I agree!!

Alex you pick a topic and get it going again.

Mmm, yes. Missed this one. Have Moggy and camera at the ready!
Probably dosn't matter if we repeat some of the older topics either as thinking of new ones was always a problem...

How about your Minor next to something else that is (roughly) the same age?

I have my morris next to something next to the same age (roughly) my 1968 to me 1963

I am the on on the far left. I can also tick a few more of those boxes listed above.[frame][/frame]

I can't enter because I set the challenge, but here's an example of the kind of thing I'm hoping for:[frame][/frame]
Fenchurch (registered in 1963 so possibly built in 1962) parked near Arthur the satellite antenna (completed in 1962) at Goonhilly Downs.

I don't care how big that thing is. If you can't get BBC2 on it then it won't interest me....

I thought..... but it looks like a Vauxhall... then on studying the photo a bit more I noticed a big dish thing.

Absolutely zero effort here on my behalf, as its where I normally park at work - next to the 1954 Land Rover with my 1953 Minor. Only a year out. Yes I know, try harder.... [frame][/frame]

I don't know how old this phone box is to be honest but here it is with my 1963 minor.[frame][/frame]

Yes I know its the same as my signature pic, this is my lowlight bulit in May 1950 outside my house built in February 1950!

If the exchange of contracts all goes to plan this Friday I can also add a picture of my new house built in 1963 with the green minor aslo built in 1963, fingers crossed

This is a good game, but why not have a picture/caption one as well.

I was tempted to award it to DAVIDMCCULLOUGH because his was the closest date-wise (hope your house purchase is going well, BTW), but I've decided the best entry was IaininTenbury's picture of a 1954 Landy next to his 1953 Minor.

Ah, sorry folks. hadn't noticed, or expected that! Just back from Crich Morris Minor Day....
Anyway, a nice easy broad subject this time - your Morris Minor and 'modern technology'.
Anything from your ipod plugged into your in car wireless, to parked outside a branch of PC World! Loads of scope here.
Best one wins the virtual prize, fame and fortune.

I know i have posted this picture elsewhere on the forum but how about this one.[frame][/frame]

Like the new Police uniform Ray

I think people prefer the face mask on.

I had these taken at the 60's event held at Kidderminster last weekend.[frame][/frame]

I was asked to escort the "Mods & Rockers on their scooters" out of town. but declined the offer.[frame][/frame]

This is the drivers side of my car at night [frame][/frame]
