Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi there all, I just took the time to look through the Sarf`ampton thread and it seems like a good idea.

How many members do we have round here? is there enough for a regular meet? monthly?

So... Hold your hands up guys and gals. Whos out there?

Ill start First.

Im Ash, 24 and live in Swindon. Im just getting back into my minor after barely working on her for ages.
Mona is a `63 4 Door from the isle of man. at the moment she has about half an interior, needs various jobs finishing all over. Ive just got her started for the first time in about 4 years, and yesterday rolled her out of the garage for the first time in 2 years.
Im hoping to get her on the road for the end of the summer (maybe even the 60th show)
Ill try and edit this post with some pics but havn`t got any online yet.

INTERLOPER!

When you all form a group how would you fancy a trip and meet SADMOG out at Gurston Down hill climb venue? It's a cheap days motorsport with plenty of vehicle variety and real near to the Wilts/Hants border.

hi, my name is rob and i am a morris traveller owner. I too would love to echo the efforts of the sarf'ampton thread. Its liveley and current. I am old enough to be Ash's dad and have had my Mea since november and looking forward to my first show, Wheel nuts in stroud on Sunday

The motorsport day sounds good (and im always thinking of new projects to do after mona ;) )

Well Rob you must be the only one on the board with you car featured in 2 signatures

I like to spread my beutificance around, and the cars not bad either
( and before any of the wonderfully excellent wordsmiths jump on me, i made the word up)

The famous Trav!
Well time for a progress update to keep this thread alive!
Ive been out in the garage and thrown a new dynamo on, most of the dash controls are working and ive got coolant in there. BUT developed an oil leak on the nose of the crank and a coolant leak on the back of the block where the heater take off is (Sigh)
another day, another broken bolt!

Anybody going to STEAM next month ( the rally in swindon on the 8th)
I am putting the question in this thread as it might pull some fellow moonrakers out of the woodwork.

Ill probably come down but in Golfie cos i dont think Mona is quite show ready lol
I mentioned in the other thread that we could have a mini meet after and maybe go up to lydiard for a photoshoot after.

You can count me in.
I'm Steve and I have a 1965 2door saloon
looking forward to all this.

evening squire, one of my neighbours commented on the mini meet we had round the back last week, luckily she likes minors and was chuffed to bits to see 3 at once. (dont tell rob though, she prefers travellers)

surely that goes without saying

I'm near Swindon, Wroughton to be exact! I've posted on the thread about STEAM but just thought I'd better say hello on this one too. Definitely up for mini meets etc!

Thats sounds good for a mini meet. or somewhere for a coffee and a chat
