It happened: Tom's woody wagon broke! Then it started to pour. Could a 75-year-old car get us there?

    Fantastic video, John! I've owned a few Morris Minors over the years, now have MGs only for Britcars.

    I love the 'Fulton' on the lowlight I didn't know they were available for MMs I'd like one on my 67 Traveller. I'm in UK.

      It came with John's lowlight, but note it's shaped + trimmed for a splitscreen. No idea if they altered the design for a Minor 1000. Clearly you need to find the Fulton Sun Shield Collectors' Club !! 😆

      I did make my own take on a Fulton for my Morris Minor pickup a couple of years ago out of a bonnet ( hood ) from a mm van.​@TemptingFateTours

    Great video, certainly you've the Spirit of Minors on Tour, I'm sure you must have been awarded one of the esteemed MOT2024 number plates. I wish my Traveller had been ready and I'd likely have met you.
    Reckon be 2026 before Boris the Morris makes it to his next one. Only been twice but lovely folk garanteed.

    I love everyting about this except that you had mechanical trouble. It makes for a cliffhanger, tho. lol
    Oh, and the woman wearing the disposable plastic rain bonnet is my idol. She did her hair for a classic car road trip. THAT's class. ❤

    Those speedbumps are raised intersections, FYI!
    They do wonders for keeping traffic from speeding through neighborhoods. Just what low-speed Morris Minor experiences benefit from :)

      Oh, I know [SQUEAK] wwwwwwwwwwwwhat they're for, and they work well [THUD] but in a 75-year-old car with [uhnnnnnk] old bushings they can be [THUNK] a bit much.

      ​ @TemptingFateTours Ah, but you don't have modern crash-o-matic suspension with negative inches of sidewalls. The modern stuff has it worse, it's just more isolated with less of the creaky-creaky.
      I'm all for anything that keeps the present lot of overpowered machines from running classic cars off the road. I can barely pull out of my driveway in peace without getting honked at (worse trying to pull in), and I live on a road that should be as calm as any Dutch village but has been blessed (hah) by US traffic engineers who've ensured it's used as a cut-through arterial. Even if it means a few hundy thrown at KYBs or Bilsteins to ease the pain that $5 Monroes can't even comprehend, I'll take all the traffic calming one can throw at it.

      Really? Thought this was one of their better mixes. Wouldn't have wanted it to the point where it didn't have any "bounce" to it.

      @@TemptingFateTours@FMFGUF - Well, I’ll be, it does work! I hadn’t noticed the dome light on when it came in, and it must have gone back out by the time it had its tires on the ground again?
      All I can say is that I haven’t the slightest idea how it works, as it does not have a dedicated ground wire and it’s mounted in wood. Definitely a project for a future date.
