Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
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 →
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. As our kids come and visit us in Italy - is does make sense to have a rear bench... Continue Reading →
It was a cold, dark winter day when my wife and I decided on how we want to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. For a long time, we had the crazy idea to do a Land Rover Experience tour. But it turns out that these trips are way more expensive than they used to be.... Continue Reading →

In the picture below I already removed my suitcase plus some other stuff - there was not any room left in the Morgan for eg. new Dunlop D-Type wheels - which are on my wish list... Continue Reading →
A random pick on the Bonvoy/Marriott app got us to Breadsall Priory. The history of this beautiful mansion outside Derby is mind blowing. Truth is - I booked it because it is close proximity to Peter Burgess. But after seeing it and reading more about the history - I feeling like a bit like a... Continue Reading →
After the repeated power losses and Weber carburettor cleaning session - we were not quite sure if we gonna make it to Edinburgh and the BVAC event. But to our surprise - the Morgan ran flawlessly. 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...
