Morris Minor Owners Club

Sadly there was a serious accident on the M6 yesterday involving two motorcycles which closed the motorway. Having been at Trentham Gardens car show all day as a guest of the Potteries Branch I got stuck for three hours.
As happens on these occasions people get out of their cars, I spent the three hours sat in my car in the nearside lane of the M6 answering questions about my Traveller to countless drivers and their passengers. This got me thinking where's the strangest place you have had to answer questions about your car.

South Mimms service station

Trebah Gardens,Corwall. As we left the Garden to go back to the car park there were 6 people crowded around the car,one even trying to open the bonnet from outside They were all around the 60 mark so I didn't think it was a gang of car-jackers ! Anyway an hour later we were allowed to leave......

as I was pulling out of Lidl carpark

when i broke down outside b&q 40 mile from my home

I got accosted inside Sainsburys by a man who'd obviously seen me driving into the carpark and tracked me through the (massive) supermarket.

after reading one above someone did recognise me from driving mine and startin talking to me in the middle of town

when we pulled up along side an aston martin in the petrol station. first i asked him if he wanted to race then he asked me if i would swop just kept telling myself, think of the insurance!!! unfortunatly the trade of cars never happend

Another one inside Sainsburys, but I was working there at the time and a bloke asked if I was the man with the black series II minor, we spent far too long talking about cars as he had an A30, luckily it wasn't a busy day !!

He also said he had noticed a minor pickup in the town which I was proud to say was also mine (Smug mode)

Someone trying to buy my moggy van on a motorway doing 60.

Whilst I was driving a 7.5 ton lorry through the lanes of Hampshire. Coming the other way was a clarendon grey convertible - the same as my car. Because of the width of the lane we passed at crawling speed giving me ther opportunity to tell the driver of the coincidence. His was a '59 though. One year younger.

My wedding reception.......we used the Moggy as our wedding car.

Also at work. Clients that couldn't recall my name just asked for the Moggy Minor Man (sadly no superhero powers)
