Just as well - I was at the nationals all weekend, the Minor was towed back and left there after dumping the majority of its vital fluids in and around Lincolnshire!

Oil, water and brake fluid? That's quite a breakdown!

The lady wife saw a bright yellow 'pick up' moggy driving up Alexander road in Glodwick, Oldham today. Never seen it before. I asked her, "Did you see the reg'?" "No," she said, "...but it was very shiny!!!"

Not quite, oil, water and petrol..

Oh dear - how come?

PM sent so as not to wander off topic.

sorry to hear that ,I's a bad feeling when they breakdown ,good luck with fixing

If you're going to have a breakdown, might as well have a mega one!

Spotted at lunchtime, today, Black 4-door PCY 357G, driving along Teddington High Street in the direction of Teddington Lock (location of the old Associated Rediffusion/Thames TV studios). Driven by a young lady - went past all too quickly for me to get mobile phone out of pocket to take photo.

2 new 'spots' this week, anyone on here?

My folks saw an orange (!) Pick-up in Poringland near Lowestoft, Suffolk.

Today, in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, I glimpsed a two-tone, white and lime-green, 2-door saloon with the spare on the boot-lid and possibly a roof-rack too? Unfortunately, I only got a seconds look between parked cars.

Anyone?

Sunday morning on way to work - spotted a Minor traveller Panda car (can't be too many of these?) on the A456 heading towards Tenbury Wells from Newnham Bridge.
I was on my bike going the other way so not really much point in waving! (Too out of breath and another 10miles to go so no energy spare for waving...)

Spotted today just off the sea-front, in Southwold, Suffolk.

Trafalgar blue saloon with the registration 'LOV'. 'Minor Medics' sticker in the back window. Looked in good nick.

Anyone?

Sunday late afternoon/early evening 6ish...Green Traveller KWA 677C spotted on A6 going towards Buxton nr Charlestown. We were coming back from Crich 50's Rock n Roll n Classic Car weekend.

F reg pickup on a drive on the Leeds Ring Road near Seacroft, looked modified, although I was driving past quite quickly!

Saw a very nice green convertible driving into Newton Abbott (Devon) last Wednesday late afternoon. Only just saw it as it passed in other direction in heavy traffic.

Had a fuel problem this afternoon, managed to limp into Home Base in Cwmbran, came to a hault next to a very good looking old english white four door minor. Looked very original inside and out. Spent about 15 minutes fitting a spare petrol pump that I had in the boot, no sign of the owner, was hoping to say hello, fuel problem sorted and off home.

Traffy blue traveller, J reg, near the Wicker Arches, Sheffield. Was heading towards the Uni at the time myself.

H-plate Maroon B convertible with biscuit interior on St Peter St Islington, I shouted hello from my bike and you waved.

Many Minors seen at shows in Suffolk over weekend sparkling in the sunshine. Several vans and pickups also and a Minor 1000000.[frame][/frame]

Spotted a smoke grey traveller in Redditch around noon. Reg OAP ----

Not seen it before!
