1959 Morris Minor traveller Wood
The Mini was also sold as a Morris in the UK back in the good ol' days.
I think of marques like Morgan (with wooden frames) and TVR (cool little British sportscars) besides Morris and Cooper and Rover and Jaguar and whatnot (edit: and Wolseley and Vauxhall and Triumph and Morris Garages (MG) and...)
So many idiosyncratic but cool (in their own way) British auto marques up into the early 1970s.
Some are still around, at least sort of.

MG and Morris were different marques, even though the same "Morris" (William) was namesake of both (or vice versa -- "namesake" is a funny word).
MG was long in Abingdon, UK (just a few miles from Oxford). I used to stay at a hotel when in Abingdon for work at a hotel with a big octagonal main "clubhouse" -- an homage to MG.

Genuinely curious here - can someone explain the pug pic craze to me, please? I thought it was just @Viking64 who was weird, but no, he started a trend.
And now, bake shops are joining in.
Why do people love and breed these dogs into narrower and narrower breathing passages? It's not cute, they're suffocating. If someone were next to you, breathing like this, you'd give them a bag of Halls, or a bucket of Vaporub, if not trach them on the spot with a knife and McDonald's straw.
I disabled signatures. -
I hate when people needlessly use that stupid mention feature.
Whoops, wrong thread. -

All of the space missions were filmed in remote desert areas.

Scott, one of our Poms passed due to a collapsed trachea a few months ago and nothing we could do about it. Had some friends that got 2 pups from us and they lost one of their's also due to this condition. Broke my heart and their's since not a lot can be done to fix this condition. Weight management can help, but from what I understand it's pretty common in breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, French Bulldogs and other small dogs. -

Oh wow, clearly a very bad joke on my part. I read some this morning on the pug craze, and breathing was mentioned as a problem, as was narrowing airways and a related disease, iirc. I didn't realize it was particularly serious, and thought just "something on the horizon" if things (irresponsible/overbreeding as I took the meaning) were to continue.
Truly very sorry to hear that, Mike.
Most of the pugs I've seen are also overweight, which, as you allude, did seem like it would worsen their breathing difficulties. The "pugs I've seen" has only been limited to three families, fwiw.I disabled signatures. -
We had our first real (killing) frost this morning*. 28 degrees F at 7 am. brrrr.
s'posed to be chillier tomorrow morning.
I harvested the rest of our carrots today, resisting the temptation to take photos. It was a good year for carrots.
Took down the electric fence on the main garden today, too. Summer's pretty much over.

* We had a minor frost back on 13Oct, but it didn't do much damage.
