there's this really good hot dog place called hot doug's and if you get their logo tattooed on you, you can eat for free. minor threat is one of my favorite bands, thus we have minor doug's.
We didn't have a car when I was a child so we used to borrow whatever my grandad was driving at the time. In the late 1970s that was this Minor shown here on a day trip to Dalby Forest with me aged about 4 years old and my mum with her horrendous perm!

The Morgan was in Wharf Garage at Sowerby Bridge today for a couple of small adjustments (no charge!). Sam and the team are so helpful and have looked after all my classic cars.
Number 15 in my creative photo set.
What I really love about this one is the tiny amount a focus and the rest is just all blured.

Whilst those Americans were driving pink Cadillacs wearing Hawaiian shirts, us Brits were tootling around in our dear Morris Minors. The most daring drivers took their top off by driving a coupe.

Comment: Utricularia minor is a very interesting carnivorous aquatic plant. It grows in standing and very slowly flowing waters. Only its flower stalks with yellow, bizarre looking flowers, resembling gluttonous mouth, rise above water surface. Long stolons and stalks with several times divided leaves having thin final segments live in water. The plant catches and digests small water animals like water fleas, nematodes, small fish fry and mosquito larvae with bladder-like traps situated on their leaves. Hundreds of these traps can be found on a single plant. Each bladder, which was initially thought to be a flotation device before its carnivorous nature was discovered, has a small mouth, 'trap door', surrounded by several branched protuberances looking like some kind of tentacles.
The functioning of these traps is ingenious – many agree the most sophisticated and simple at the same time carnivorous trapping mechanism to be found within plant kingdom. The bladder is a purely mechanical device without any sensory functions. The only active mechanism involved is the constant pumping of water out of the bladder through thin bladder's walls by cellular transportation mechanism. Since the mouth (trap door) is normally tightly closed, this pumping crates negative pressure within the bladder and squeezes it somewhat. The 'tentacles' are stiff and attached to the flexible mouth lip. If an animal touches these 'tentacles' they work simply as mechanical levers and deform the mouth lip a bit. The mouth loses its tightness and, because of the negative pressure inside the bladder, water instantly brakes into the bladder – together with the pray. This happens in about 10 ms only! The mouth closes and the pray is slowly digested by the plant. After the meal is finished the whole process starts again (Ref.: 4). Note: Picture of the bladder taken through a microscope shows similar bladder of Utricularia intermedia and not of Utricularia minor!
Utricularia minor is widely distributed all over the world (except Antarctica). In Slovenia it is rare, highly endangered and protected by law as all other four species of this interesting genus present in the country.

The Morris Minor was a very succesful British car in the 1950's. It was built from 1948 until 1971. This one is from 1950. It has a 0.9 litre engine, good for 29 PS.
The magnificent, uber-cool, Morris Minor is one of the most evocative cars I can think of. I still recall the smell of my friend's parents' car wen they would give me a lift. The colouring, styling all contrived to help you look past the Spartan interior. There was, and remains, something utterly magical about these cars. I hope you like what I have done with the image. The setting was rather dreary, so the 'fade to black' effect on the background was a welcome sight!
A 1956 Morris Minor “splitty”, i.e. with a two part windscreen.
The Morris Minor was an Alex Issigonis (of Minicar fame) design dating from 1941. Although the Nuffield Organisation was restricted to war work, they were still designing cars in preparation for the post war era. The Minor was manufactured from 1948 to 1972; models had a split windscreen until 1956, and semaphore pattern indicators were replaced in 1961. An estate version featured an external structural ash (wood) frame for the rear bodywork, with two side-hinged rear doors, and in common with Morris practice was named "Traveller".
London. Photos are forbidden, but I could not resist just a few. The playoff straight lines and curves are amazing all through the building. The minor domes are Romantic mosaics, alluding to Blake in concept. I also drew and when the drawings are finished, I will post them.
Minor was the first Czech personal car made after WWII and the German occupation, it was very simple with a small twin cylinder engine, but it was a car.
