Yes super car, I had one although not the traveller, but the 'Bowler hat' when I had a job in good old England. I took it all the way to Greece for holidays, we went via France, Italy and back thru former Yougoslavia, Austria, Germany, to Holland. Not a single problem during that trip, only a flat tire. But remember always to carry an extra gallon of motor oil with a Brit car, they all seem to leak a little. Unfortunately I sold the Minor some years ago. I am thinking of getting an old Landrover now for towing the Mac. We have this funny law if the car is older then 25 years you don't have to pay road tax.

I have a 6'1" slender, lovely, blonde wife who loves to put the rail in the water & greatly appreciates my funding her sailing hobby.

I wouldn't trade her for all the cars and car parts on this thread.

* I can get past shallows to beautiful upper river spots on the Wisconsin river were few tread. I've thought of selling it for a full enclosure but decided not to. I'll have to fund the enclosure another way.
* Upper river provides sandbar camping and skiing/wakeboarding on calm water.
