Mini service time
Miffi - my Mini- is currently my main daily driver. Since I restored the car in 2018/2019 I did just under 10000km without any noteworthy faults. It is clearly more a city car and only on the recent longer trip to Hamburg and Cuxhaven I noticed something is rattle under the car occasionally. My guess... Continue Reading →
Short May update
After returning from my business trip, it took a while before I had a chance to get back to the garage. The only thing I managed to do this week is to clean up Maggie after a longer tour this weekend. Following a friend's recommendation, I ordered a Gloria foam master and the somewhat expensive...

Morgan back on the road (well almost)

Even though Maggie had a spot in the second position to the exit ramp - offboarding took longer as the modern Hybrid... Continue Reading →

While working out a route over the course for the last couple weeks, I went back and forth on if I should takeba fast route including motorways... Continue Reading →
And off we go
Right after writing this post my trip to Spain and the UK will start. A last minute check of gearbox and rear axle oil came to my mind yesterday evening. Both are topped up, oil and brake fluid levels are also fine. Tools, some spare and a new overall in case I need to do... Continue Reading →
Fixes and trip preparation
Shortly after I dropped off the MGB in Cologne I got a call that they cannot put the car on the rolling road. When measuring the exhaust gases, the O2 level was too high - indicator of an exhaust leak. Now, after fixing this - I am still puzzled how I could not have noticed... Continue Reading →
