Morris Minor Owners Club

hello looking to day we have nearly 5,000 registered users and every single day there is a new registered user. so where are they this sites revolve around about a dozen of you, so where are the rest what age are they mabe we have many youngsters hiding in the wood work also are they morris owners ,lastley if it wasnt for the dozen or so regulars would this site even exist some of you have axcellent knowledge. ..grandad

I would imagine that quite a lot of those are no longer 'users'. However it's like the rallies, when around 100 entrants is exceptional, and the AGM attended by less than one percent of the membership.

hello i just wondered if there is a way to see how many are still active and do they all have a morris and what age does younger members start and older members bigine im heading fast to 61 so i know where i am,,,grandad

You can look at the number of postings made - on the member list. Many just register when they have a problem needing fixed, and then we don't hear from them until the next problem pops up. Fair enough! That's what the site is for - useful/helpful site for Minor owners. It is a point though - that perhaps those who haven't posted for say a couple of years should be dropped off the list. They can always re-apply if they need more help.

I shall be using the site alot more, i am new to the site and not long been a morris owner and i am 19 years old, so there are some younger members

lets assume they are all morris owners there must still be a lot of morris minors sodoes any one know just how many there are still registered,,grandad

stand fast mate you will get a lot of welcmes ,, welcome to the morris site,,grandad

I am pleased to welcome you too, Norton. I have been on the site on and off for a year or so now and find it very friendly. Not just a place to find valuable information ( which you can get loads of ) but also a place to get all sorts of advice, guidance with a lot of laughs along the way.

Hi Gradad, I;m 55 so I know what sid of the fence I stand but I was thinking do you suppose the youngsters may have trouble insuring or maybe its just something simply like getting somewhere or someone to help them with a full blown project. lets be honest its quite daunting orce you get started It can look like there will never be an end to it. the young lads that kick around with my son dont even know what a moggy is, so they find it easier to buy something modern and just bolt extras on. But we purchased a 64 2 door for my son so you do have another 19 yearl old and maybe he will go out to the world of youngsters and change their veiws.

A very warm welcome to you Norton, any problems you have just ask on here and there will be someone who has been there before!

hello you may well be right on all the points you mentioned, its not a cheap job to do one up and you could certanly buy a car that is on the road, golf ,fiesta, and so on, you do need to be very dedicated to take a rusty classic of any mark, i have done one never again,,,grandad

welcome norton to the mad world of moggies

I was thinking do you suppose the youngsters may have trouble insuring

The club insurance via AON used to be far cheaper for teenagers than insuring a eurobox - so it would have been the opposite.
With the recent changes between AON and FJ, things should be back to normal, but time will tell.

Can only say again the Club are on the case with regard to the Young Driver's policies. So if anyone has a problem/hears of someone with a problem/being refused etc contact the office in Derby 01332 291675 and Liz will do her best to help
