I usually see a nice green A reg Traveller parked in Southwold in Suffolk when I go there every Tuesday. Must be used for commuting as it's never there at weekends. Until recently it had a 'Running In' sign in the back window - don't see that very often these days...

I hope he meant total cars scrapped and not moggies or they would all be gone in a few years.

I usually go for 6 months without spotting another Mog, then a couple of weeks ago I spotted 2 within couple of days of each other. After a double-take on both occasions, a quick U-turn and a photo was in order.[frame]Image[/frame]

The last 3 times I've stayed at Burton constable hall caravan site in E.Yorks there's been an early Morris 1000 in blue parked up near the bar, looks really nice and I'm sure it has an owners club sticker in the window. Is that anyone on here?

morrison's car park ross on wye. it belongs to an old boy, and is used all year round.
my mog is mainly for summer use, and as a second car. i wonder how many moggies are the owner's SOLE vehicle. less than 50pc i would guess.[frame]Image[/frame]

I nearly went to Cromer today, but went to Sheringham and West Runton instead. Saw no other Minors until I broke down on the way home in Norwich. Trunnion failure! :roll: See http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34296
