A Meandering Life...

Matilda winks again.

During our weekend away in Yorkshire Matilda lost an indicator lens. During the show at Pateley Bridge a visiting member of the MMO* forum said he would send me a replacement. 

This morning a parcel arrived with two front lens assemblies from which I was able to use the lenses and rubbers that were missing from mine. I had managed to give him money to cover postage but he didn't want anything for the parts. The members on the forum are like that. 

Apparently he is restoring a 1958 Traveller and obtained the later style lenses by mistake. Thanks 'JackSprat' aka Roger. ;o)

*The MMO forum or MorrisMinorOwners.co.uk is a group of Morris Minor owners and enthusiasts who are not governed by any official club or association. It cost nothing to join and the advice and friendship is freely given. We don't 'tut-tut' at anyone who modifies their cars as we feel having them on the road is more important. 

I have posted a video on YouTube of our members driving in Kettlewell during a trip of the area. You will notice a real mix of standard and custom Morris Minors. Matilda, naturally, isn't amongst them as I remained in Kettlewell with some surprise visitors who met me there.
