Morris Minor Review

Well, that made for a bumpy ride! Here’s our video on the Morris Minor. Not for the faint-hearted driver, this one, and you might even need your earplugs just to watch the video! A lot of fun was had here… Enjoy!

I enjoyed that! My husband had a 1934 Morris 10 4 which he bought for £12.10s and I learned to drive on it, .something of a challenge. We once crossed the Pennines in a snowstorm and the windscreen wiper packed up so it was hand-operated - by me. The floor was full of holes, mostly on the passenger side, and there were some tense moments in wet weather when we ran over puddles - splashes up the skirt spring to mind. The passenger seat fixings were also similarly dodgy and if Bob turned a corner with his typical enthusiasm I would be tipped over. However, that car taught me how to double declutch and despite many encounters with many cars we stayed married for 42 years. It must have been love.

We're glad you liked it, Judy. That's a great story about the snowstorm - we bet you were cold that day! And good teamwork on the driving - perhaps that's the key to a successful marriage!

@@classiccarbuyer352 Hi - another Morris story, same car: we had a puncture on the moors and I was given the task of rolling the tyre down the hill into Todmorden to the garage. Another freezing day but we warmed up in the pub while the tyre was fixed. Many cars in our married lives, motor rallying in Africa etc and I still have Bob’s classic BMW2002 Touring tii 1973 in the garage. Will be in touch.

A Moggy is always a pleasure to drive no matter what year. But you need mastering double clutch

I think I may have seen this before. Is this an old video?

It would have been more sensible if you had been given proper instruction on how to drive a vintage car and then you wouldn't have been making the comments that reflected your need for advice.

Who the hell let you drive their car?

Gear changing more crunchy than cirn flakes!

@@nygelmiller5293 I couldn’t watch it all the way through it was so painful. I would love to have seen him with our old instructor in a Bristol Lodekka!! He certainly would be such a cocky c🤬t when he was finished with him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@johnmontgomery9149 Hillarious, thanks for answering!
Actually, it was also painful for ME to watch.GUILTY PAST!
I don't know if you watch the classic car programmes, called Alex's Assets. The charming lady, Alex owns a Ford Galaxie, an Austin Allegro, and a Rover P4, from about 1959 .
A beautiful black one, with red interior.
I left a comment, saying how nice I thought the Rover was - and how it brought back cringeworthy memories.
Because I was taken to school by a classmate's Dad in an identical one. His dad thought we should both learn something useful, apart from schoolwork. So his "great" idea, was to "do" the clutch, while, in turn, my classmate and I should do the gearchange, when he said to.
I used to hate that, because despite being careful, I often used to crunch the gears on that wonderful car! I left a comment to Alex, to say that I hope that HER black Rover isn't THAT one, after what I did to the gears!
