A Minor Revelation
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2013 12:33 am
If television is to believed, and I can think of no reason why not to, all AA meetings begin with someone standing up and letting those present know how long it is since they last fell off the wagon.
So, in the best traditions of a daytime drama..….
Hello, I’m Milton and it’s been 4 years since I was a member of the MMOC.
Indeed, to my shame, it's almost 7 years since I posted on this site and 6 since I last used my Morris Minor on anything like a regular basis.
“Leftie” has done less than 150 miles in the past 4 years, and has basically just sat gathering dust in my garage. She’s had arguments with the bikes there, been slept on by my neighbour’s cat, had swallows mess on her, and generally been pretty unloved as she has spent the majority of her time asleep beneath her cover.
Here’s how she looked yesterday…….

Yes, I've kept her MOTd every year, occasionally washed and polished her and sometimes even remembered to check that she has enough oil and coolant, but that’s been about it. I have nearly listed her for sale on numerous occasions, and ten days ago had actually begun negotiations to trade her in against a Series Landrover. She was good to go
However, a strange and wonderful thing happened last Sunday in the gentle drizzle at Moffat……….
(to be continued.......)
(Again as per a daytime drama!!
