A little off topic, but well worth a watch as it does have a connection....

I had one, it had a car attached to it......????

Don't be silly......????

Yes, in this country you HAVE to look left when turning left as well as the right before moving, you never know what you may meet, could even be a cow. ????

The Austin and Morris Mini were just another ride built by the British Motor Corporation/British Leyland, of which there were many. When BL went down they all went down. Austin Mini, Morris Mini, and Cooper variants, Riley Elf Mini, Wolseley Hornet Mini, Mini Moke and the Mini Van...

They use the Mini and Cooper name for their retro Mini.....As far as I know, nothing else from the Rover Group purchase...

They haven't got any subs or fighters to sell. Now who is going to pay for it....?

Who's going to pay for it....?

He was all over it for New Year, what happened.....? ????

It should have the Morris badge and forget the GG's.....????......................???? I think Morris Oxford would be an ideal name....????

Perhaps the guy with the handlebars didn't look.....????

Try again, on second thoughts, give it a miss....????

I saw a family of five sandwiched on a bike yesterday with no helmets....????

Thought the driver was 31....????

You saw what happened then, do tell....????

Antivaxxers....

Go back and read what this thread is about, then come back to me.... You are also making assumptions, they are not fact.....????

I said, go read the thread heading again, the thread isn't about the deceased guy....???? Please pay attention...????

The one you keep missing...........????

There have always been hiccups in ordinary folks lives, for instance, my grandparents, 1914/18, my parents, 1939/45, no ifs or buts, get on with it...????

One of the most iconic cars in history is the Austin/Morris Mini, BMW bought the Rover group and only used the Mini/Cooper stuff, obviously to use that Mini fame to cash in on it...Same as the Chinese with MG..

Yes, they bought it for the MG name and history, BMC/BL is the failed company, the historic marks had to go down with it..There is a list of those.....????

When I bought a new car the dealer called us to collect the blue book and white plates, they took the red plates off and fitted the white ones and finished all the paperwork, etc.

Correct, think BMW wanted the "Mini" thing....????

Though the MG/Morris story is a bit complicated, MG was the racing name used by Morris Garages performance stuff. Since 1924 Morris made ordinary road cars, plus performance road cars, for many years before being bought by the British Motor Corporation in 1952. BMC used the MG name for their "performance" offerings, tweaked up basic rides, including Morris's...But, MG does have real performance history, that's why BMC used it for that performance history. https://www.cardekho.com/features-stories/mg-ex181-the-car-that-made-land-speed-record-history-in-1957-25531.htm#:~:text=Coming back to the topic,245.64mph (395.31 kmph).
