30th Anniversary Trip - Minors on Tour 2012 - Souillac
Posted: Thu May 31, 2012 1:32 pm
Just a friendly shout out to the 80 plus intrepid Minor Owners who are busily greasing their trunnions, and packing all sorts of conceivable spares into every tiny corner of their Morris (and some even take a spare coil, Roy! 
) in preparation for the journey South to Souillac and - hopefully - some sun, and plenty of refreshing beer!
Big thanks to Ash and Pam and their band of helpers and volunteers for organising the trip and arranging for the vists and social activity when we are on site.
As for me, well, cash flow issues at the start of the year meant that my plans to have my '59 convertible back on the road for the trip were temporarily thwarted, however, in true MMOC style, my very good friends Roger and Pat Buck are lending me their '64 Black Traveller to make the trip. Re-aquainting myself with a Traveller again after so many years of not driving a Morris has been an absolute joy and I'm really looking forward to the drive. I'll have to change my signature pics when I get back.
All being well, I hope to post a few updates on this thread as the week progresses along with a few photo's if I can. In the meantime, hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable and uneventful trip there and back and enjoys motoring and socialising in a fabulous part of the world.
Remember, your Minor is for driving so don't fear taking it to places many would not!! A bientot mes amis
