Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
Finally our summer vacation trip has started. The idea came about 8 month ago and it is exciting and strange that it is now a reality. The day started early with a flight to Munich. When we arrived it was raining quite a bit - but the forecast said that it will clear up are... Continue Reading →
While I have the important tasks for out upcoming trip all sorted, there is always something that comes up last minute. The biggest change: my wife insists on keeping the rear bench in for our trip.

My son picked out an incredible costal route. In the past picking the right tour was always my task... Continue Reading →
We have made it to York and are hopeful to get to Edinburgh tomorrow. However - it is not all smooth sailing. The first 600km of the post-restoration maiden voyage of C6622 to London went really well. It took just under 5 hours to get to Coquelles - traffic jam around Brusss and two breaks...
