The place has been knocked down to make way for a multi screen complex,but they carn`t knock down the memories &qiute a few of the old rods are coming back to life{old rods never die they just get faster}

Not all Morris Minors are in "Jolly olde"....here's a terrible photo of my brother's Morris in Oregon....406 chevy s.b. with a 'glide and transbrake...still drives it on the street and ran a best of 10.33 last summer...He's presently building a 61 Anglia 2 door [going for 9's] after being banned from the strip in the Morris...seems the 86 inch wheelbase is a bit short for NHRA rules....excuse the photo. I took it off a snippet of video playing on my tv set. I didn't think it'd work at all!
