Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
One thing all vacations have in common is that they end usually sooner than later. The direct route home is about 1800km. We started Saturday morning at 10am sharp. The first stretch over backcountry roads to Bari took us almost 2 hours. With temperatures above 33°C and no clouds - it was certainly a challenge... Continue Reading →
For our 25th wedding anniversary we had a fantastic olive oil & wine tasting at a small winery called L'ESSENZA di Puglia - a very fitting name. Due to the poor road conditions around here we mostly use our kid's rental car - but for this trip we took the Morgan of course. 😀 If... Continue Reading →

As we had problems with power loss driving up to the Timmelsjoch - I also checked the fuel filters and fuel pressure again. These are all OK and I don't believe they are part of... 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 →
When we started planning our summer trip in January, it was clear that I have a couple more days left on my time off balance than my wife. The entire round trip will be approx 4000km.
