Vintage Minor Register

Took my '34 two seater for an airing today, unfortunately it was much too powerful for the conditions!

Nice one Trevor! Happy New Year!

What , no traction control

Try adding some ballast or maybe you need my 450x19 tyres (and a set of 19"rims)?

Once I'm in the car I can assure you that no additional ballast is required!
I will also stick with the 18" wheels as they withstand the cornering stresses better.

I am off to Anglesey on Thursday (about 250 miles) for a long weekend in the Minor, according to the forecast we should arrive soon after the cold front, perfect timing!!

Bon voyage Trevor, and don't for get to pack the camera obscura this time.

Had a good few days in North Wales, b####y cold at times, even snowed as we went over the Llanberis pass.And the hood was down!

That's the spirit, Trevor! Looks like a far cry from Biggleswade.

Can I ask for a bit of a trip report for the Magazine once your fingers have thawed?!

The other Minor at little Gransden was mine. (Didn't photograph the car)

Thanks Trevor. So your other car is a Hawker Hurricane?

I have treated myself to a cheap dashcam to see how it performs plugged into the 6 volt accessory socket that I fitted, (the sat nav works fine from this 6 volt supply).
Well it powers up when the ignition is switched on and records ok, the sound has interference when the dynamo output stops but I am quite happy with the results.
I have a couple of recordings of a trip today to fill with petrol.
