C6622 needs fixing again
Morgan 4/4 CVH clutch adjustment – 3rd time a charm?
The shortest summary for the work tonight I can give is the following: Since finishing the Morgan, I sometimes ran into Vapor Lock issues. This can be caused by issues with the fuel supply or heat. After checking and partly replacing all components of the fuel and ignition system I rule this out as root... Continue Reading →
7th British Classic Rallye
It is a bit of a guesstimate, but the last couple of years, I have been spending about ten hours in the garage for about one of driving on an event or road trip. This year fortunately is quite different. Last week my wife and I took part at the Zoo-Rallye in Cologne with the... Continue Reading →
Brindisi-Bologna-Basel-Bonn

Especially as the expected temperatures would be much higher compared to the days before. But one thing we did not want to miss is the to see and... Continue Reading →
Bonn-Brindisi – Day 3- Autostrada Struggle to Napoli
With roughly 430km the section between Siena and Napoli was the furthest section on our route to Brindisi (taking the passage to Munich aside). The idea to take the coastal route was put aside early. We knew it is going to be a mostly Autostrada day. As we arrived later in Siena than expected -... Continue Reading →
