its quiet in here..
Come on guys, there was a vote for this forum and we all said that we would use it.
Lets show that we are going to use it.
What has everyone been up to recently on their cars?
I went to Technoclassica in Germany and was pleasantly surprised to see the german branch there with 3 minors. (slightly over shaddowed by the numerous 330SL`s nearby.
I have not been able to spend much time on Igor recently because too many of my friends keep buying wrecks
What have you all been up to?

Re: its quiet in here..
I had noticed how quiet it had become in here.
I'm currently really busy with uni work, dissertation and revision to be getting on with. In the spare time I've have I've been waxing the car ready for a wedding I'm doing on Saturday

Re: its quiet in here..
Yes it is, but the facebook group has far more conversations and posts on. Young kids these days... I've bought another zetec engine, a 1.4 injected already in rwd format, picking it up at the weekend. Then mocking up engine mounts etc to hopefully go in the everyday minor

Re: its quiet in here..
Last weekend we had a photoshoot with Russ from Minor Monthly. He took some shots for a branch profile on the Birmingham Branch, and a few individual photoshoots for articles on individual cars. Keep an eye out for Bluey in the next few months
this weekend we've got the Pride of Longbridge rally on saturday opposite the longbridge 'factory', and on sunday there's the Birmingham Branch annual rally at Witley Court, Worcs. Here's hoping for weather like last weekend!
Currently on the car front, Bluey's running even hotter than normal in this recent weather, and i'm considering 'wrapping' my exhaust to keep the heat in the exhaust and out of the engine bay. Has anyone had any experience wrapping an LCB? looks fiddly to me!

Re: its quiet in here..
I got my wheels powder-coated, purchased a new custom loom from Autosparks, and am about to return home for the summer so I can fit it all together! Up here at "university" I've gone through some indecision, changing my major (do you guys do the major/minor system?) around between subjects a number of times. I think I'm settling on theology, interestingly!
The way to a man's heart may be making food, but the way to my heart is buying me car parts!

Re: its quiet in here..
I went on holiday to Prague last weekend.
Is it really lame that I was excited to come back so I could drive Martha??
Tomorrow she is getting new light 'buckets' and hopefully I will get her poorly eye fixed

Re: its quiet in here..
*tumble weed*
I have been trying to stop my traveller exhaust from blowing so much...i believe i have fixed it....but i am getting some exhaust cloth asap to make sure for certain it's fixed .
I have got a couple of bit's of welding that need attention for the MOT as well as two sections of wood which need replacing...EXPENSIVE MUCH....So these will be on hold till i win the lottery.....

Re: its quiet in here..
Fixed Marthas poorly eye (thank you Chris!) but didn't get new bits for her as the Morris Minor Centre was closed when we got there! Boooo!!!
Next on the list though, I want to get the heater working, and possibly add a cigarette lighter. Should be interesting as I haven't the faintest clue about cars, let alone the electrics. Prepare for many questions and a fair amount of crying
I have been pootling around in Marthat & really getting to love her more & more. Hoping to make it to National & meet some of you

Re: its quiet in here..
I finally (after a year and a half) got around to fitting my boot rack today
Re: its quiet in here..
Well done! You might have to tie that case on though as it might drop off at speed

Re: its quiet in here..

Re: its quiet in here..
It's too depressing coming on here and seeing all these perfect shiney minors! Anyone drive a skip other than me? I say drive, look at it on the driveway! My newly purchased traveller is coming on leaps and bounds. Took the wooden shelf out the boot today too properly inspect the wheel arches. It made me slightly more optimistic but then I see another chunk of crossmember fall off in the breeze......

Re: its quiet in here..
Absolutely, my car is fully patinated, I wouldn't call it a skip though, it wears it's history with pride.Anyone drive a skip other than me?
I could get it tarted up with paint and filler so it looks like all the rest, but I resist, there are plenty of shiny perfect looking Minors already.
P.S. That's not my car in my sig picture! I wash it occasionally

Re: its quiet in here..
The chassis is ok, but the rest of it is a tip! lots of scratches on her, she is pretty mucky at the mo too, I love her just how she is, it's part of her charm

Scratches, Smatches, That's the shiniest skip I've ever seen.
I dislike make up and plastic surgery, grow old gracefully I say.
