Wonderful vehicle the Moggie Minor. My Father had a Traveller, and what a vehicle it was. Simple to maintain, cheap to run and you have a feeling of really being "in touch with he road". Take one up to 60mph on the motorway and you'll know what I mean


I observed that, by turning the ignition to "off", singing a brief refrain of "God Save the Queen", and then selecting the ignition to "on", a loud report was heard to occur at the rear of the vehicle
My Grandfather told a story similar to this. During part of his time with the REME he drove a Scammell heavy breakdown. At some point the horn stopped working, but he found that the aforementioned method was far more effective. He didn't mention the effect that it had on the exhaust system, but apparantly it was quite good at warning people that he was there
