Come on Josh, things can't be that bad
After all the hard word work, time and effort you have put in to Denzil, you can be proud of what you have achieved

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
Wouldn't be without my Traveller. I haven't driven it yet this year (So its missed the worst of the salt) but its there when I need it. I have some stuff to take to the tip, so one day soon, the trailer will be hitched up and off we'll go.
Spring is coming, you'll get over it

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
Hang in there Josh, I'm sure it's just a case of the Winter Blues ! Wait until the Spring arrives....bright sunny day, windows down,good music and a good road ahead. As Nick said - all that time and effort you've put into your car will prove to have been worth it once the opportunity arises to drive him more often.
Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
I think he has a year to go before he can drive it!
Right now - could be mobile on a scooter!

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
Its something you can always return to.
My first car was a Traveller that I spent a year fixing up with my dad when I was 16. After driving for a couple of years I was pleased to sell it and get an Alfa Sud as it was sporty. I only missed the minor 25 years later and thats why I started again.
Just dont do anything too hasty as that is a good car.

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
I went through all this with my last car. I was thinking of getting rid and I got talked out of it. The people on here seem to have a knack of talking people out of things 

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
What a difference a day makes, if that !!

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
Find somewhere to do a bit of "off road" driving to keep your interest going. P.s. don't forget you'll still need to be insured, but I'm sure Denzil is as you've spent so much time doing him up!
Ask someone in your family to take you out for a drive in him?

Re: Thinking about quiting morris minors
Josh please add the missing t in quitting as it just looks odd.
Maybe just me.
