Morris Day '99
British Motor Heritage Museum
Gaydon, Warwickshire, UK
19 September 1999

It rained.
It rained before we left home, and it rained on the way there. It kindly reduced to a drizzle for a few minutes whilst I took some pictures of the 100 or so Minors in the carpark. But it wasn't long before the rain was back with a vengeance.

Drivers sheltered from the downpour in either the Motor Museum or in the MMOC marquee. We chose the latter. Joe Swords from Minor Monthly was there, as well as a model stand, a small parts stand and the MMOC regalia stand. We did the usual and spent far too much on models and books and finally gave up on waiting for the rain to slow down. A quick swim back to our convertible, Bessie, and we were on our way back home.

Two hundred miles and 4 hours of driving in torrential rain, including 15 miles of traffic jam, all for 45 minutes of looking at Morris Minors, Oxfords and Marinas from the doorway of a tent. Was it worth it? Of course it was!
