Morris Minor Owners Club

Anybody here going to this show?

Should be a good day with over 1500 classic cars, traction engines, war war re-enactments and a lot more

Hope to see you there

I will be there, but the moggie will be in the car park, as i didn't get him until recently and missed the chance to entre

Well if you bump into me I'm sure I'll be up for a walk over to the car park

Hi all south Walian's
Im booked in.

I took the mog out for a 15 mile trundle this afternoon, just to make sure she works. I recently put a post on here regarding my ignition problems eventually traced it to a dodgy coil. The old girl pulled up tredomen Hill today in 4th no probs. If you dont know tredomen hill (ystrad mynach) its a bit mean for 4th gear to be honest. But she did it.

Just a quick note, dont know if they're a member on her, but who's got a trafalgar blue/white roofed Tourer, minilite alloys, and works in Ferris coaches taffs well. I saw them going 'shall we say very well' down the outside lane of the 470 last week. What engine have you got, very impressed I was.

Regards

Steve B

Yeah i know Tredomen, my wife recently had her car written off there. Looks like we might pass each other around town. As i live in Beddau

Valley Sports & Classic Cars (http://www.vsandcc.co.uk)are leaving the Crown in Pontllanfraith at 8.45 and we are taking a speed bump free route down to Tredegar Park (We used to go down through Wattsville but its just too bumpy now ).

I'm not sure what I'm taking yet; it'll be either the MG Midget or the BGT V8 (Both are clean and ready to go). I have everything crossed for good weather and at present all seems pretty settled .

A good Tredegar Park somehow rounds off the year nicely......now if only they'd lay on some railway sidings, they could bring in some steam engines.

Spent the day cleaning the car today ready for tomorrow. Finally got around to putting the Owner's Club badge on the grille that I bought at the National Rally

I should be around the crown PH at the same time ish, If I am I'll try and meet up with you all, and we'll all go in convoy, my dad should be following me in his freelander carrying my 1 year old boy Louis and stationary engine Lister D. If Im running a bit late (probably will be with a baby in tow) I'll probably go the wattsville route sorry. It is a bit more direct and there is that many humps really.

I may pop in Steve I keep am eye out for you

I'll look forward to seeing you Russ, You bringing the Van, BM or Pickup ) ? I'll defo be there 'somewhere'!

Brilliant show guys, i did pop over to see you all, and no one was at their cars/Vans.

I haven't posted a picture of me or my car yet, so you could not have been hiding from me yet! Great cars chaps.

I can't believe the change in the weather. I went away to Ironbridge for a few days the week before last and it was Sunny (All the time I was thinking I hope this lasts for Tredegar Park ......not possible, not possible, once it breaks, we'll get a month of s^*£$> weather). They say the Devil looks after his own .

Our club were a bit late leaving and we arrived when most of the other exhibitors arrived . Still there are worse traffic jams to be stuck in than a load of classic cars.

All in all, a good day (Even if I did leave the camera at our shop ...and then the old one wouldn't work ). I picked up a spare steering rack for my Traveller, which was a tightish squeeze in the boot of my MG Midget. As I ate my lunch and drank a bottle of chilled Brains SA, surrounded by classic cars, whilst reading a copy of Practical Classics, I reflected "It doesn't get much better than this ".

I saw a Morris 6 for the first time. It was parked with the 6/80s.
