"I FIND IT EXTREMELY satisfying when I receive emails and letters from people who have just bought their first Morris Minor. Not only does this mean we have more potential readers, which is always a good thing, but more importantly it means that there will be an increased number of Minors out and about on the road. Whether it’s a young student looking for a cheap everyday runabout or someone who has bought a pristine example to take around to the shows. This increased activity with the Minor helps the whole of the scene, from the traders, show organisers, owners club and branches and also those of us that just love seeing Morris Minors on the road. Without getting new blood into the scene, there is every danger that in a few years the only Minors around will be those that are stuck in museums, so next time someone comes up to you enquiring about your car, take the time to tell them all about it, you never know they could end up buying one of their own.

"DUE TO DEADLINES and lead times I find myself writing this Ed Speak for the January 2007 issue and it's not even December yet! The old adage that time flies when you are having fun certainly applies here as these last few months since I took over as Editor really have flown by. I've met lots of readers, chatted with them on the phone, exchanged email messages and generally got to know lots of you that buy this magazine. Most of the feedback so far has been favorable, and to those that have offered constructive criticism I hope that you have seen the changes come in over the last couple of issues. After all if the magazine is not what, you the readers want then I am wasting my time and your money so keep the comments coming.

"WOW, WHAT A BUSY MONTH it has been, photo shoots, track days, shows, it's all been going on this last four weeks or so. Then to top it all my first issue as Editor of this fine magazine hits the news stands and door mats up and down the country.
So far the changes we have made seem to be well received, but now the hard part starts, keeping the content at this level over the coming months and years. That's where you lot come in, if you have a story to tell, a project on the go or a finished car that you think our readers would enjoy looking at then please drop me a line.

"WELCOME to the November issue of Minor Monthly, I’m sure most of you will recognise my name as I’ve been in and around the magazine since issue 1 way back in 1995. I originally worked with Steve Parker in the early days of the magazine, then Joe Swords and more recently Brian Elliott. With the sad passing of Brian I now find myself sitting in the driving seat so to speak and will hopefully be able to put my mark on a magazine that has become an integral part of the Morris Minor scene, both here in the UK and right around the globe.
Over the coming months I will be introducing a number of changes to the magazine, alongside the regular features, events, news and technical guides which I am hoping will make the magazine a more comprehensive read..."
